A Merciful God and Hell?

Question

The answers should be a reason of THE HOPE [not the fear] that is in you.

As we are commanded "to overcome evil with good," may we not safely infer that God will do the same? (Rom. 12:21)

Would it be merciful in God to inflict endless punishment? -- that is, merciful to the sufferer?
Can that be just which is not merciful?
Do not cruelty and injustice go hand in hand?
Can that be merciful which is not just?
Does divine justice demand the infliction of pain from which mercy recoils?
If the demands of divine justice are opposed to the requirements of mercy, is not God divided against Himself?

Answer 1

God has stated the penalty for disobedience: “The wages sin pays is death” (Ro 6:23). What is “death”? Death is the opposite of life. God had held before man the prospect of endless life on earth if he obeyed. However, he disobeyed, and the penalty was death, unconsciousness, nonexistence. (Psalm 146:4) God had said nothing about transferring man’s life to a spirit realm or to a fiery “hell” if he disobeyed or died. He had warned man: “You will positively die.” It was the man-slaying Devil who had lied in saying: “You positively will not die.” (Genesis 2:17; 3:4; John 8:44) What all men have inherited from Adam is dustlike death.—Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10; Psalm 115:17.

But those who go into that nonexistent state should not flatter themselves with the thought that they are experiencing a salvation from life or existence. They are undergoing a punishment and are missing the eternal happiness of perfect life in God’s new world. “ … but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Rom. 6:23, NW)

Answer 2

Without hell Hitler, Osama, and other evils would have no justice.

God doesn't send people to hell, they choose to go there.

your god that you have imagined up in your head cannot possibly be the real God and is not the God of the Bible.

Without Hell there is no reason for Jesus to save us from our sins to save our souls from hell.

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"- Romans 3:23, the Bible

We all have sined, To God sin is a very serious crime.

A good and rightious judge wouldent let a convited fellon go without a punishment, no matter how good of a citizen the fellon was after his crime.

If you think God would let sinners go free than He would be the most evil god ever. Because you could get away with anything you wanted to on earth and be scott free.

But God provided a way that you may be forgiven of your sins and spared from hell, God gave His own Son Jesus.

If what you say is true than Jesus died in vain and that you can live like satan and still go to heaven!

Jesus boref our sins and paid our ounishment, If we accept Him, God is mercifull and will forgive us our sins and save us.

"That if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."-Romans 10:9

That is a promise, God is HOLY, JUST, AND MERCIFULL

GOD IS NOT" AN EITHER OR" GOD.

People choose to go to hell it is on thier head because they tryed to go another path to God. But there is no path to God only a Way. Jesus is the Way.

Answer 3

Well for one thing, the ten commandments were put here as rules to live by.If you break these rules over and over again through the total length of your life,and also die in your sins,you would obviously not be worthy of entering heaven, if you never became wise enough to adhere to 10 simple rules.There can not be light without dark or can there be wrong without right.Being forgiven before you die or living by these 10 rules is the answer to it all.Only through the name of JESUS CHRIST can you avoid hell.
