If god knew that the soul that he created will end up in hell why did GOD create the soul in the first place ?

Answer 1

I would call her a crazy God if she really existed

Answer 2

You and I must have like minds. I too have pointed this out during debates. My argument went like this:

1) God is all-knowing (therefore, he knows which of us will be in heaven before he even creates our souls)
2) Some souls go to hell
3) God creates souls for the express purpose of sending them to hell (as he obviously knows that he won't let those souls into heaven)

My inference that I take from this is that, since God is a loving God (according to the Bible), he would not send any souls to hell. I would rather have never been created than be created and sent to hell.

Note: an answer such as "to give humans a choice" does not really work for this argument. Humans don't have a choice if God already knows they're going to hell.

Answer 3

I don't believe souls go to Hell in the end.
Hell was created by man not God, Hell was made up to scare people into doing what the organized religions wanted, (which isn't always bad). Unfortunately, religions are also run by people, not God. People who become greedy and power hungry use fear to control, and the result? Ah yes war, I seem to remember hearing something about religious wars recently. So why would God condemn a well meaning person to burn for eternity for not believing in some collection of man's beliefs? The answer is simple. The Creator of the Universe couldn't be that petty. God is real, so treat others as you would want to be treated, and be nice to the planet while you're at it.

Answer 4

God doesn't know that a soul will end up in hell. He lets us have a choice. If we choose to allow ourselves to be sent to hell, that's not His fault. At the same time, if we choose to go to heaven, that's not something that He knew from the beginning either. I hope this makes sense. :)

Answer 5

Because the soul started off with two choices. GOD gives us two routes right and wrong if you go right you will be OK and if you go the wrong route then you end up hell bound. He knows where you will end up depending on the choices you make. He doesn't create people just to go to hell. It is your CHOICE.

Answer 6

The is no logic (much less love) in the act of an all knowing supreme being creating a soul that He/She/It knows in advance He/She/It will damn to eternal torture ... unless that supreme being is simply sadistic.

For Christians this is a conundrum they generally refuse to ponder. How can there be free will if "God" knows in advance all that will come to pass? How can other than what "God" knows will come to pass occur? So we are left with a choice ... either "God is sadistic and creates some souls specifically for the pleasure of torturing them OR "God" doesn't know everything in advance and is surprised to see souls go to hell OR "God" isn't anything like what we puny humans believe or imagine so to assume knowledge of "God's" thoughts and behaviors is the height of arrogance OR there is no "God", no supreme being, no hell (other than what you create for yourself in your own mind).

Afterlife punishments like hell and nasty reincarnations are religious terrorist coercion devices meant to force submission through of fear of torture. For small, powerless and revengeful people such concepts are wishful thinkings, comforts for the hate filled heart.

Answer 7

One of the most awesome things about God is the fact that though He is omnipotent, He still gives us the power of choice. That soul holds that decision. There is still purpose within all lives, no matter their outcome, otherwise they would not have been created. But the most simple answer is found in Isaiah 55:8

Answer 8

God did not know that the soul would end up in hell...He let's man choose what is best for man...this is a test...if we can pass this test without going bananas....we have passed...Because everyone goes through hard times....Some are just more tough than others...and we have tough choices to make....some are your damned if you do or damned if you don't...always make a decision that is best for you in your heart!!!

Answer 9

He created the soul to fulfill His divine will on this earth. Even though someone may not except God into their heart that doesn't mean that they serve no purpose.

Answer 10

god probably does know that a spirit will go to hell but thats why we have the gift of choice you know what and what not to do live life right and you can change your destiny watch the devils advocate,a mand is supposed to be the key to releasing hells army on earth,he is also i think is the devils son and yet he has lived a sinless life,in the end he had to have sex with a woman to give birth to the antichrist,inwhich was is sister(wasnt really his sister) he kills him self to save everyone,he sacrificed himself so the antichrist would not be born,so in other words the DEVILS child would be destined to hell for he is the devils child,but he chose not to and for that he changed his destiny to heaven

Answer 11

God love every1 of us and he would be heartbroken to c us in hell its just that we people that sins againts him and draw away frm HIM so there is a verse say in JOHn 3:16
For GOD so LOVE the world that He gave His only & beloved son to die for us that who ever believe in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
so is not GOd that wants us to end up in Hell is we as a human have our choice to believe in Him & accept Him as our Savior therefore we will be safe
