God loves all of us. Hell is not supposed to be a place of torture. It's a place of Justice. Thoughs who were bad in this life get another chance instead of being tortued. God would not let us rot in Hell. God is a good spirit not an evil one.

Who really wants to go to hell. Truth is that Hell is just a thought. Never proven, never seen, and never consturcted.
Lucifer, is a worker for God. Not the person who takes a whip and hits everyone for the wrong religion. Lucifer, remember the Serpent? Well he "tempted" Adam and Eve. Didn't they have a choice? Lucifer is a good Angel. Hell does not exist. If so where in the Old Testament.

People often forget they have brains when it comes to a topic such as hell. Oh, many persons will ponder on financial or other matters, but when hell is the subject they seem to prefer that someone else do the thinking. They may even push all hope of reasoning aside and declare, as one hell-fire believer did, that if he did not think the Bible taught a literal, red-hot, soul-scorching hell he would throw his Bible into the ash can. That is an extreme case. But it reflects a modern-day tendency to try to make God conform to man’s ideas of how things should be run.
Pagan religions are noted for teaching red-hot hells. The ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, Phoenicians, Persians, Grecians and Hindus taught flaming hells. The Buddhists teach a hell wherein people cook and sizzle in blazing kettles. Is the Bible hell as hot as the pagans paint theirs? The answer is NO.
This raises the question: Did Almighty God create such a place of torment? Well, what was God’s view when the Israelites, following the example of peoples who lived nearby, began to burn their children in fire? He explains in his Word: “They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.”—Jeremiah 7:31.
Think about this. If the idea of roasting people in fire had never come into God’s heart, does it seem reasonable that he created a fiery hell for those who do not serve him? The Bible says, “God is love.” (1 John 4:8) Would a loving God really torment people forever? Would you do so? Knowing of God’s love should move us to turn to his Word to find out just what hell is.

The Bible describes three hells.
SHEOL OR HADES, THE FIRST HELL
The first term in Greek and Hebrew means the grave. It's the grave where the dead await the resurrection.
GENESIS 37:35---I SHALL GO DOWN INTO THE GRAVE.
PROVERBS 15:11--HELL & DESTRUCTION ARE BEFORE THE LORD.
ECCLES.9:10---NO WORK...OR KNOWLEDGE...IN THE GRAVE,
MATT.11:23---WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HADES
1COR.15:55---O HADES, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY
GEHENNA, THE SECOND HELL
The second term in New Testament means the place of fiery destruction of the wicked.
MATT.5:22--...BE IN DANGER OF HELL FIRE
MATT.10:28--TO DESTROY BOTH BODY AND SOUL IN HELL
TARTAROO, THE THIRD HELL
This third term is only used once and refers to the place of restraint where the demon spirits were placed following the rebellion against God.
2PETER 2:4---BUT CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL.
*******************************************************************
As for Lucifer: here are some texts for you to look up =
ISAIAH 14:12-15; EZEKIEL 28:12-15.
He was perfect til iniquity was found in him. Then he was called the devil. There was a war in heaven = REV.12:7-9
And he was cast down here on earth where he has deceived mankind. He didn't deceive Jesus however = Luke 4:5-13.
The devil's ultimate fate is found in Ezekiel 28:16-19.
There's more texts in the Old Testament about Lucifer; see these sites down below.

Hell was never a place that "god" created as a place of punishment... outside the walls of Rome thousands of years ago, there was an actual place called 'Hell' which was where the poorest of the poor lived... all the waste, human or otherwise would get dumped there... so it was used in a 'don't be naughty or you'll go to hell' type way... and continued on from there - Hell was not a place created by "god" as a form of punishment

Those who have not taken Jesus as their Lord and savior will go to hell, it means you don't believe that Jesus died for us, to rid of us sin. God said it will be a place of eternal tourture. Just because it isn't in the Old Testament doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Look at the demon that was in the Garden of Eden, it lied to Adam and Eve.
Also, Satan was casted down to Earth after betraying God in heaven, and then was cast to a place called Hell, or the Underworlds. There he could have everyone who betrayed God.

Hell is mentioned in the NEW Testament at least two dozen times, though. Why are you omitting this?
You're not doing anyone any favors by trying to push the idea that hell doesn't exist. It clearly does -- and warning people of its real existence and of the real possibility of ending up there is actually an act of charity.

In the OT it is called Sheol.
Where does it say in the Bible that those who were bad in this life get another chance, or is this just your own idea of what happens?
Because God IS good He judges sin. If He just gave it a pass, He would be evil. He is both loving AND just together.

I trust you on those in the previous factors. As for the Revelation verse, I see "dying" as being the act of loss of life, of having the flexibility to die, as what ends, and so there could be no want for "hell", the grave, sheol, any further, if no person else have been to die. So the two are solid into the "lake of hearth", gehenna, which symbolizes eternal destruction. Revelation 21:3 and four shows that dying would be not greater.

HELL COMES FROM THE HEBREW WORD ((SHEOL )) IN THE OT AND THE GREEK WORD ((HADES )) IN THE NT BOTH SIMPLY MEAN THE (( GRAVE ))
AND THERE IS AN END TO HELL. AND THE LAKE OF FIRE IS NOT HELL BUT WHAT IS CALLED THE SECOND DEATH IN WHICH YOU THOSE WHO DON'T ACCEPT GOD WILL BE BURNED TO ASHES INTO NONEXISTENCE.
Re 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Re 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Re 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
HERE IS WHAT HAPPENED TO CHRIST. HE WAS NOT LEFT IN HELL BECAUSE HE WAS RESURRECTED AND HE DID NOT SEE CORRUPTION OR WHAT WE CALL DECAY BECAUSE HE WAS IN HELL OR (( THE GRAVE )) FOR ONLY 3 DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS.
Ac 2:27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Ac 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his FLESH did see corruption

LORD and GODDESS written in times new roman font show that they both produce a TODD from within. So TODD is the son of the LORD and SON of the GODDESS. And bible says the seed of god cannot sin, so TODD can do no wrong. Thus eventually TODD was to become god.
so if nobody is authorized to take an orphans rights then god would be LARRY TODD STEVENSON with IIII I . as the answer to Rev.19.12 and as all things to honour praise or laud HIM then KING(IT I IV CUT) read between the lines, EMPEROR(E IVI PERIOR=), AIVCUTI=_I_(ANGEL)CUTOD(GOD)DEATH(HTAED)so whatever he was born he became god eventually. cause he didn't attemp to join the angels till in his twenties and eventual discovered TOP PROSPECT was about TODD and ROSE and HIS cut arm was also a german story about "ROSSKASTANIE VON TOD" so many things pertain to god become a man. and bible says one soul per living thing. so the soul of god is was what He was.
so their is no hell cause i degreed IT. they can only make your living live a hell, but once you die nothing not even god can hurt you anymore.
