He's a love poser. He knocks up someone else's virgin fiance and asks us not to covet, please.

For those of you who think hell doesn't exist, is really blind. YOu obviously don't read. Why wouldn't you want to serve a God that gave His son life so you can have eternal life. Jesus went to hell in our place and took the keys to hell so that we wouln't have to go there. Can you honestly think that living a life full of sin you should just turn and go to heaven and have eternal life with a holy, righteous God. If He has given you a way to live, and you don't take what more should you end up but a place of torment. Repent and confess today ask God in you life and He will come and hell surly will not be a place you'll ever see.

But why would a loving God condemn anyone to hell? Because we have all sinned against Him and have broken His law. "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23). It is a fact that most people's consciences tell them not to kill, or steal. Our laws also state that it is wrong to do these things. No one protests when our police officers throw people into jail because they have committed these horrible crimes. Why? Because you know that those who do evil things must be punished.
What kind of judge would sentence a murderer to prison? A mighty good one would! If a judge were to set criminals free without the punishment specified in the law, that judge would be unjust and would have to be dismissed from the bench. In the same way, a mighty good and holy God would also condemn a sinner or a person to hell that chooses to remain separated from Him in their sins. If He didn't, He would not be a righteous and just God.

Hell was where Satan and his followers took up residence after they chose evil.
Because God is loving and gracious and merciful, he offered us a place in Heaven as an alternative to going to hell. He sent his son, Jesus to die on the cross in our place, so that we could be forgive and live in heaven. Jesus was the scapegoat for our sins. Now that we've been offered the gift of eternal life in Heaven, all we have to do is accept it.
"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raise him from the dead you will be saved." Romans 10:8-10
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whomever belives in Him shall not die but have eternal life." John 3:16
So you see, God didn't creat Hell because he WANTS people to be punished. Rather, he offers us eternal life so we can be with him in Heaven one day.
Why would he WANT Satan's army to grow?

Hell is translated in the Bible as the Grave. The firery Hell that frightens most people is not in Harmony with the Bible or with God's feelings towards mankind period. God is Love & his plan to cure wickedness is through a Kingdom that he will soon set up that will benefit all mankind and restore the earth to a truly peaceful state the will last an eternity.

Which type of hell did you have in mind? The type of hell that is a complete separation from God, a hell in which you cease to exist, the hell that had degrees of punishments for various sins, etc...? In this world everything has an equal and opposite. It's hard to conceive of a reality that doesn't.

That is not in the bible that was made up by people to scare people into serving god. No a loving creator would not ever keep someone alive just to torture him.
He told Adam when he sinned : For dust you are and to dust you will return.
The wages of sin is death
Ecc 9:5 The living are conscience that they will die but the dead are conscience of nothing at all.

Although God is a loving God, he is also a just God. And in order to be a just God, justice must be served to those who break his laws. But He decided that he would take the punishment for our sins and would give us a clean slate and let us into heaven. For God so loved the world that He gave his only son and whoever believes in Him shall not perish but shall have eternal life. He loved us all so much that he died for us. All that you need to do is accept the gift that He has given us and ask to be forgiven for your sins.

Because the majority do not accept God's love and forgivness.
God's free gift of Salvation is for ALL who will come to Him in The Way He proscribes... But most will not ...so they will be forever seperated from God... that is Hell
God makes the rules...you and I do not...play by His rules or suffer the consequences.

Hell is a place for those who have chosen reject God's love. People have the freedom to choose whether to accept or reject God's love.
God has done everything He can do to rescue us from Hell. He sent His one and only Son Jesus to die and pay for our sins- and has clearly shown us that He does not desire anyone to go to Hell. But the only thing God won't do is force us to love Him, we have to personally make that choice.
So it's not that God sends us to hell. It is our sins that send us to hell. And it is the price that Christ paid on the cross for our sins that rescues us from hell, but we have to make the personal choice to trust Christ or not.
Hope that helps.. feel free to email me for any more clarification or questions... nicksterlee@yahoo.com

It was created for Satan and the 1/3 angels that fell with him.
Just remember, there are twice as many angels as demons.
Hell has expanded since more and more people are going there.
Grace to you and God Bless
