Why would an "all-loving God" send thousands of people to a place ("hell") he, and others, hate so much

Question

I don't seen the logic of this belief.
Okay...so an all-loving God sends people to a place where there is no love? That already proves wrong that he is all-loving...he did a no-loving act.
How can an all-loving God send people to a no-loving place?
Why do christians not realize their logic does not make sense?

Answer 1

God wills no one lost. Scripture even tells us that by our decision to Sin, WE separate ourselves from God.

He has given us free will so that when we love Him, it is genuine, not programmed in like a machine. We can also choose to live apart from him, however, with free will comes responsibility and there are always consequences to our actions.

Please... contemplate and reflect on true theology and know that God Loves us so much that He gave us the freedom and ability to love him genuinely or reject him, even though He didn't have to.
You are so lost in your understanding. God Bless you.....

Anyone going to HELL, chose to go there.... they are there by their choice, not God's. The Book of Revelation tells us that No Unclean Thing Will Enter Heaven. Sin and unclean souls cannot exist in God's presence.

P.S. Dear LaRUE: It's not about eating an Apple or Fig, or whatever. The Issue was, and still is, Obedience to God. They ate the fruit, in direct defiance of what God instructed. The true original sin was Pride and Disobedience. Not eating something.

Answer 2

Because God is very petty. Period.

Really. Eating an apple was a big deal for Eve, and for everybody who lived after her.

Does that make sense? If Eve was a mass murderer, then I could see punishment, but this whole "hell" thing does not fit the crime.

However, believers choose to believe in every single myth in the bible, so they will all tell you that they are saved and that the rest of the world is going to hell, regardless of how good people are.

The trouble is, none of the churches agree on the same things. That's why there are so many different denominations. Each one believes that they have the "true" message from God.

The believers know in their hearts that none of this makes sense but they are brainwashed into maintaining their faith and converting others.

Answer 3

Hell is a place of torment and punishment intended for the devil and his angels.
After judgement day, hell and death will be thrown into the lake of fire, which is the second death.
What is the second death? Only non-existence.
Who shall you fear, man who can only destroy the body but not the soul or God who can destroy both body and soul? How is the soul destroyed except by non-existence.
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a monarchy of which there can be no decenters. If you choose to turn away from the law of God, there is no place for you in heaven.

Answer 4

well i cant add to anything that has already been said. except to answer Why do Christians not realize their logic does not make sense?

My problem with this question is that it shows a lack of good judgement and open mindedness, its people like you that are always saying christians do not have an open mind, and then turn around right away and make a question/statement like this.
your other 2 questions were fine btw, they ask something that you lack in understanding to how the christian faith works. were very happy to help in this. Your last question then shows your contempt for a group (a rather large group at that) of people.

I hope one day you'll mature enough to get what i just said.

Another thing, people got to stop commenting so dispecably on things they do not understand, it shows an utter and complete failure of their willingness to progress. The way to progress is to understand people. You do not have to be exceptionally intelligent or even believe what is being said. just an open mind and heart. Your way leads to hate, and ignorance of peoples belief.

Know that im not saying these things to upset you or to cause you grief in anyway. I only wish you to be happy and not fill your life up with an ignorant hatred .. its what people have done for hundreds of years to blacks just in a different way. EX. My grandmother the other day, who is 80, believed until i told her otherwise that black people's blood is made up differently than white peoples .. this was an ignorance of hers that clouded what she though about black people in general. It is the same with you. Youve believed something out of ignorance of christians that has clouded what you felt about us. I cannot express enough to be careful with your preconcieved notions about what christianity is and what we believe.. thank you.

Answer 5

For one thing, God did not send anyone to hell. As people God gave us all free wills to make the decision on our own. There are many verses in the Bible that state that face and a majority of people had already answered that question. I do have to say that God has a mansion with many rooms and those rooms are waiting for His followers. Namely man. Me and you, all of us that believes in Him. Here is something to roll around in your head, let's just say for a moment that the Bible was not the word of God, would it really hurt us to follow those words. The words in the Bible is all about Love. What's wrong with that?
This is about the mansion: http://www.ccel.org/e/edwards/sermons/mansions.html

Answer 6

It's more like people are choosing to go there. It's that or heaven, and some people just don't want to be in heaven. God's actually being kind of nice by giving people a choice where they want to be.

Answer 7

HELL IN KJV
One Hebrew word “sheol” is rendered hell. Definition; hades or the world of the dead (as if a subterranian retreat), grave, hell, pit. Three Greek words are rendered hell; geenna, hades, and tartaroo. Definition of geenna; a valley of Jerusalem, used (figuratively) as a name for the place (or state) of everlasting punishment: - hell. Definition of hades; properly unseen, that is, “Hades” or the place (state) of departed souls: - grave, hell. Definition of tartaroo; (the deepest abyss of Hades); to incarcerate in eternal torment: - cast down to hell. Tartaroo is used only one place II Pet.2:4.
Christ teaching the Pharisees in Luke 16:19-31 shows us a separation from God is truly what hell is. The “water” is symbolic for God’s Spirit and love. The word “tormented” means distressed in the Greek, not torture. The “fire” is symbolic for the shame and desire not to be separated from God.
So all who die the first death of the flesh return to God Ecc.12:6-7, but on which side of the gulf do they end up?
Hell is not eternal but is done away with in Rev.20:14-15, called both the second death and lake of fire. This second death is non-existence, for death and hell and those not written in the book of life. This second death or lake of fire is like fat drippings that fall into the fire. Just a poof of smoke into non-existence.
Psa.37:20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.
In my mind what’s worse yet is no memory of you, no tears will be shed for you like you never existed.
Rev.21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
So hell is a separation from God and is not eternal torture or burning. Eventually hell will be done away with or passed away and also some souls. Like fat drippings in the fire, a poof of smoke into non-existence, the second death.

Answer 8

You live in a time of his mercy, it will come to an end. Only those who are perfect will enter heaven. If you are not washed clean in the blood of Christ you will not enter heaven. Hell is not judgment! None in hell have been judged but those that are there may parish

Answer 9

God doesn't send people to Hell. they send themselves. God gives us the choice to accept Him, but they are the ones who rebel against Him.

Answer 10

it's your choice. you have to choose heaven or hell. without choice, there is no free will. God loved us so much he took on human form, he gave up his divinity, to walk among us and teach us how to live, how to love... then he made the ultimate sacrifice by dying, so we could have life everlasting. i hope you can see the sense in this
