then why do so many people have to go to hell?
why can't he just forgive them without them having to beg for forgivness?

God = Love
Religion = Snivelling + Grovelling
It just don't add up.

i hate these friggin religion questions... God is creater. He gave everyone a choice (like the first person to answer said). That is Him testing us. He loves us, whether you do or do not believe in Him, and it breaks His heart i'm sure when people go to Hell for not believing. But that's how it is. I can't explain it really well, because i'm not really educated in "why" very well by any means, but He does love us, I do no this.
Good luck in finding the answer you're looking for.
God Bless

Let's say you have siblings. If they chop off your toe on purpose while you were sleeping shouldn't he or she get in some serious trouble??? God asks us to stop our madness and come to him and say sorry. It's not like we don't know we should cause I'm sure MOST of us feel guilty and most of us have heard about God some way or some how... so what's the excuse? God is still loving cause he gives us an out, but you're calling God a sissy when you say that he can't handle his business and put someone on time out!

There is no such thing as Hell. It's a mistranslation. The original words in Hebrew and Greek mean 'the grave', and 'hell' comes from an old english word meaning 'bury or hide underground.'
Fiery torment was invented to scare people.
Go set a puppy on fire in your front lawn, and you go to jail. Yet people believe God does the same thing (eternally!) just for disobeying him.

People are given a chance for forgiveness and redemption through Jesus Christ. That's why he was sent down from Heaven and died for us, so that we may live. It's the people's decision whether or not they want to believe in the Son of Man.

God does not require anyone to beg for forgivness, just ask for it. We are all given a choice.

Hey that was my question! Dirty thief...
More than one poster actually said 'it is not God's will that the sinner will go to heaven'... Hmmm...
Or 'God is obliged to send people to hell'... Hmmm...
I really wonder why these people never stop and think about what they are writing.
You'll get the same answers I did, by the way. It'll frustrate you.

Don't worry my friend there is no God. When you die you;re dead. Do you think ants and spiders go to heaven when you step on them? No, and we are no different. Because we think, we want to believe there is something more, that this can't be it. I'm afraid it is. Living beings live then die. No heaven, no hell, just nothing.

Would those who didn't want to be saved happy when they were saved anyway and they would have to do thinks what they didn't like when they lived. god have thought these thinks and he have chosen the best way for us
and secondly bible speaks nothing about hell only fire what burns sin and sinful thinks away

ok...are you talking about the happy god or the angry god? cause every monkey with a brain knows the christian "god" is a bipolar and also a sick guy. when he's happy he sends all the people to heaven,and when he's pissed he send everyone to hell, doesn't matter for him if they are good or not!
