if god is all forgiving how can any soul go to hell?

Answer 1

By refusing his forgiveness.

Answer 2

My faith is that of a child, not an intellectual wizard, but it has been divinely given to me. My faith has not been given to me by Church, man, or life. So that being you will have to pardon me...
I do not know the God that would send a soul to hell. I have heard language about this. There is no internal theorem or proof that points me to this as a truth.

There is great proof both inside and outside of me that God is indeed forgiving to EVERYONE..even those that grieve Him, i am proof. Once Mother Teresa said that she had a bargain with God. For every picture of her she allowed a soul would leave purgatory. Now, i have no theorem and proof of purgatory, but she has written to me when i needed her. Always her simple words were great. I believe that the divine enveloped her, became her, and moved with her..saw from her eyes and heart. She said that she was only a pencil in the hand of God!!!!! She was also the mouth of God!

I rather discern that purgatory is witnessed by some here on earth. If Mother could be afforded the bargain above, then now that she is in Heaven with all the martyrs, holy angels and saints... I am very sure within my being that they have lobbied and closed both purgatory AND hell. All of this to God's complete delight!! Has he not said that as the Good Shepherd he will follow after one, just one, to bring it back to His heart and the flock? The gates of hell are a museum/ a memory for now, that can not be opened again. They will not be used as a fear factor, perhaps be only smoked glass and vapor. Everyone is FREE. How happy God is, and also we should BE!! Be for Him and He will take us as we are. The walls are coming down, the mysteries revealed, and neither the church nor man should fear what God has planned. Read I cor. 13 and Jeremiah we are safe and loved***:)

Answer 3

I believe that God is forgiving. Everyone makes choices and must experience their choices. There is what some believe to be a hell with fire and agony for those that murder and disobey the 10 commandments. Hell is within those that want it within them. Live God's word, protect your soul, make mistakes, it is ok, you are here to learn and move on. A soul/spirit living in agony and hatred, murdering, disobeying, bring on their own hell, yet through God's infinate knowing and understanding of them, can accept those into a level of heaven to be dealt with when they return. We are all part of God's energy even though we can be positive or negative energy, learning, accepting His word. Some say there is no hell, I believe there is a hell, on this earth, as some choose to make it that way. Every soul will come face to face with God to make their final choice.

Answer 4

Everything in the universe is guided by law and just because we do not know that law doesn't mean it does not exist. I do not believe we can answer those things by saying it is a random act. Forgiveness also has a biblical requirement and so it is written. The universe has a balance, the actions of human beings have a consequence and balance and the forgiveness you speak of is a loving God who wants love in return. If you understand that then you will ask God to forgive your indiscression and do your best not to repeat it. Forgiveness is not just a free pass that allows you to do whatever you want.

Answer 5

Religion and politics have everything to do with social science.

God is the manifestation of societies need to believe in a higher power.

Many great and horrible things have been done in “his” name.


Does randomness produce order?
Yes it does.

So scientifically we can’t prove the existence of a deity who can’t be seen, felt or “heard”.

Yet, religion is mankind’s legacy, with hundreds of denominations, sects and cults.

So whether or not God will forgive and whether you go to Hell, Hades, or Purgatory, depends on what you believe.

In the vast majority of Christian religions, we have a strict God ("You shall ... for I, the LORD thy God, am a jealous God") who brought a Son as Savior from the judgment of eternal damnation, as the ultimate human blood sacrifice.

By that right God is all forgiving. But for those who chose not to seek repentance damnation was a normal course of death… “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life”

Jesus Blood sacrifice death acts as a gift that must be received.

Use this analogy, if you choose not to make a turn in the road when you see a cliff beyond, who is responsible?

After all you were handed the gift of life but you chose damnation. The implication is that Damnation is an eventuality, something that God will save you from. It’s truly about free will.

So in the strictest sense you chose damnation, God does not “allow” it.

And by accepting the free gift anyone “all forgiving” or forgiving all things, will happen if you..

1.Ask for the gift
2.Accept the gift

If you choose not to be forgiven then like the person who doesn’t turn at the edge of a cliff, you will fall and be dammed.

This according to the King James verson of the bible accepted by most mainline Christian religions.

Answer 6

Hell is a man made creation that is NOT real. Hell was (just like the religious institution it came from) was created to keep the masses in line and if you believe in it than YOU validate it. The goodness of god is everywhere you are, yet if you choose to focus only on the bad than that is all you will see.

Be a real human don't conform to the ideas of others that are just plain stupid. God loves us all and is not a twisted sick-o that wants to see us suffer.

As soon as someone tells you that god will be vengefully or punish you you can instantly discredit their advise. If that same person claims that they base this on the bible you can also discredit them. They are a single source person. Their whole framework of experience is based on one book one source, and if you are to make an informed decision you should always have more than one source. Whats more, the bible says that god is love (that's a quote) and why would someone who loved you want to see you suffer forever? that does not add up.

The path to the truth is blocked in many places with rocks like the idea of hell, be a wise person know whats real and what is not. Also accept that you are the compass that must steer your life, than take that responsibility.

Answer 7

God doesn't send anyone to Hell. You send yourself there. God has done everything He possibly can to keep you out of Hell and still leave you as a person with free will and not just a robot. That's the way He made us--after His image, after His likeness, the power to say "yes" or the power to say "no," the power to reject our own Creator, and of course to take the consequences.

Can a God of love send anyone to Hell? You might as well ask some other question to make just as much sense. Does God allow disease in the world? Does God allow jails and prisons for some people? Does God allow the electric chair sometimes? Does God allow sin to break homes and hearts? Does God allow war? All of these things are the consequences of sin entering into the world, and in some cases the direct result of man's rebellion, and the result of greed and pride and egotism and hunger for power that doesn't have any use for people--only the desire to get ahead.

This is the incredible fruit of sin. Sin brings suffering into the world. There's no way of getting around it. And the greatest sin in the world is to reject the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior.

The Bible says that God prepared hell for the devil and his demonic army (Matthew 25:41). God is not wishing for any person to perish but for all to come to repentance. (II Peter 3:9). Yet in the end God will not violate or overrule the deliberate choice of those who consciously and willfully turn away from Him.

Finally I have to quote Jesus, the hart of what I am saying: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through Him. He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their deeds were evil." John 3:16-19, NASV Bible

God bless you all!

Answer 8

Hi Yes God is all forgiving ! But Man has a will to choose. God is so good and he loves us too much that he gave his only son to redeem mankind. Do you know Angels and Man has a will? a gift from God because he don't want robots. God wants us to love him in thought, words and indeed same as the angels. But we choose to sin than following the Ten Commandments. So when we choose to do bad things we go to Hell, if we do good, good things comes to our life. . . Everyday God is giving us a chance not to go to Hell, all we have to do is repent and never sin again. Do you know Hell is here on earth now? Living in this world is Hell? But if we change our life, avoiding sin we will feel like in Heaven if we maintain our relationship with God. Though we stumble sometimes God knows we sin, and he knows we came from this world, not perfect, but at least we try not to sin. So to feel God really forgives us, love God and love other people, specially less fortunate individuals, the Bible say's when we do good to others we did it to God also.

Answer 9

God is forgiving if we ask for forgiveness. God is without sin, therefore can not tolerate sin. The whole idea of Christ suffering on earth then dying on the cross was to become a scapegoat for us and cover our sins with the power of his righteousness. The Bible says, "If we confess our sins to Christ, He is just and able to forgive us our sins." It also says in Romans, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." We are all sinners, starting with Adam and Eve. I know the big question everyone has is why does God permit us to sin. He gave us free will out of love. He did not want to create robots. He could have just as easily made us to where we would do exactly as He wanted, but cared enough about giving us the opportunity to do right on our own. He loved us so much that, "He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." However, if we don't accept that, then we say that we are good enough to take care of ourselves. We actually condemn ourselves to hell when we could have simply humbled ourselves, and admitted to our Creator that we are lost sinners without His grace, and asked Him to cleanse us and make us whole in Christ. It is trading a little bit of humility, and a few seconds of true faith, for an eternity in hell.

Answer 10

YOU are given a choice. YOU make the decision of your destiny in eternity. YOU are to blame if YOU choose poorly. God did NOT make you some kind of marionette (a puppet on a string) that dances to the strings that are controlled by some master puppeteer. Do you really believe you can blame God for sending anyone to Hell? How much more do you need to read or study to prove His plan for you? This question really sounds like an educated idiots question. He gave you EVERYTHING you need to seal YOUR fate in eternity. Did you even bother to ask God to be YOUR Savior? To forgive YOU? To save YOUR soul from Hell? HE WILL NOT DRAG YOU KICKING AND SCREAMING INTO HEAVEN. NO CHOICE IS A CHOICE, ONE SATAN WILL BE GLAD TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF.

Answer 11

If you're talking about Christianity, only one person (Biblically) went to Hell (that is, Christ). Satan and the angels who followed him went, but that was a little different. The other thing is, even though (according to Christianity) Christ died for all sins, there is nothing that states that God is all-forgiving. God hates sin, and the only way to avoid eternal damnation after the Judgment is to seek forgiveness through God/Christ. Those who do not (again, according to most sects of Christianity) are condemned.
