can a christian want to go to hell

No, once you die God will be an undeniable truth and everyone will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Beleiving in God does not get you to heaven either. The Daemons beleive in God and they tremble, but the Daemons will burn in Hell.

If you go by the Ethopian Cannon, Yes. One of their scriptures says that after the rapture the people in heaven will look down at hell and ask god if their loved ones can be forgiven. God says yes and we all live in heaven for ever.
This is not excepted by most christians because they feel that there is no point to hell if god forgives us all in the end. But look at it this way didn't Jesus go to hell and bring people from hell to heaven? If jesus did it why couldn't god do it?

No you can't.
It's established for man to die once and after that the judgement.
God is rightgeous, so incredibly holy, that unclean persons can't stand in His presence... neither He'll tolerate sin.
If you go to hell it because your ways were not right, clean, so how can you then go to heaven?
You have to make sure you'll be found clean when God sets the judgement.
Its true, how can you be truly clean. Even the Bible says: "Everyone has sined and therfore can't go to God's presence"
Think of this:
God is a King, you owe him an awfull lot of $$$, not even working for him for 10 lifetimes would be enought to pay. But then, the King's Son offersto pay the price to set you free from debt. Wouldn't you acept this gift and live a life free?
It's dumb not to accept.
^_~
why don't you make sure you go to heaven insted of wonder were will you spend eternity?
maybe you won't get a 2nd chance...

When you reject what the Lord Jesus Christ done on the cross for your sins and you die you go to hell and you don't get our until you stand at the white throne judgment and the you are cast into the lake of fire.Revelation 20: 11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. Revelation 20: 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Revelation 20: 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. Revelation 20: 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Revelation 20: 15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

judaism teaches that hell is a cleansing process and is not meant to be an eternal home (what would be the point of that?). So, yes, unless you're truly a really evil person (in which case you'd probably just cease to exist, and wouldn't even have the privelage of hell), you can expect to attain some measure of heaven once you're done with the "washer-dryer". well, according to judaism at least.

No.because God has given you many chances on earth to know Him,fellowship with Him,and ask Jesus into your heart but many people dont want to believe or accept it.But when they go to hell they finally realize what they had done was wrong and its too late to turn back.God is a fair and a "JUST" God.He gives you opportunities and you have to take them. God doesn't send people to hell, "YOU" send yourself to hell for not following God! So don't blame God for your own actions. That goes for me and everybody in this world too. We're not perfect.

Actually, according to the Bible when Jesus died on the cross his spirit went to hell and gave those who had died before the option of accepting him could then have the chance and go to heaven..
Or so that's what I've always heard...
So SOMEONE would have once had that chance.

if you believe in the bible. hell is for eterinty. john 3;16 says for god so loved the world that he sent down jesus to die on the cross for our sins. and if you confees that jesus is lord and believed that he died on the cross and his blood covers your sins and was raised again on the third day.he died for you so you can go to heaven if not you will go to hell for ever. but then again that just waht the bible says. thats only if you belive in God and hell and the bible

According to the Bible, once you are condemned to hell, that's it. And I personally can't imagine why any Christian would want to go to hell.

The 1000 year reign of Christ or Millennium will be a time of teaching those who are spiritually dead.
