I believe in it but i don't think anyone goes there. doesn't jesus forgive everyone for their sins? i don't think he has changed his mind since he died on the cross.
What do you think?

Why is there a hell, if noone goes there? Jesus only forgives those who "turn" from their sins and put their faith in Him. If you believe in Jesus and God, then you must be getting this from the bible, and if you believe the bible, you have to believe in hell and Satan for it planly states that both DO exist and there is even a passage in Isaiah that says "Hell hath enlarged herself", which implies that there are so many there and going there that it has actually expanded to contain them all. Check out the sources below in the Bible.

Hmm you couldn't really believe there is a God and a Heaven if you don't believe there's a Devil and a hell?...
And if everyone goes to Heaven, what would be the purpose of serving God?...
athiests don't believe in God, you think they're going to Heaven?
God loves everyone but there is a purpose of serving him, if you don't he's not letting you into his kingdom..he warns you of that and he gave us the Bible...
Bible = Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth ...
You reap what you sow.
And yes I believe that to regis_cabral...suicide is a straight ticket to hell...and a total copout as a human being, it takes more guts to live than to kill yourself.

Yes, I believe in Hell and in the Devil.
Jesus died on the cross to PAY everyones sin debt.
BUT in order for you to have your sins paid for, you need to accept Jesus gift. It is there for you and everyone to have, but you MUST FIRST accept it. As I have said before, it is like a Christmas gift under the tree with your name on it, but it does not belong to you until you accept it.
He did not change his mind.

I think that we first have to define what "Hell" is...
Hell is being eternally seperated from god.
Heaven is being eternally WITH god...
The whole thing with the halo's, wings and horns is an earthly flesh filled percetion.
Jesus forgives anyones sins of those that have accepted him as theur personal lord and savior. That doesn't mean that they wont be judged.. it just means that at the end of the day they will spend eternity with god.

I think some people should go there. This is what hell is intended for. Devil is out there. I believe that surely. Devil tries to convince people to go to the hell.

There is no place called hell and no person called devil.
Man's lower self is devil, his spiritual fall at doing wrong is hell. The law of cause and effect is right there.
Believing it or not, the most burning hellfire for any human beings is always the voluntary acting against the Will of the One True God.

I don't believe in either.
I can't imagine a loving God doing this. I cannot imagine that he would say "Yep, some of you are okay, but, if you don't accept what I want you to accept, you die. There's no chance for redemption after death, though! If you realize you're wrong, guess what? You're screwed, because you didn't have the knowledge while you were alive."
And frankly? We don't need a devil or demons to tempt us.
Humans do that all on their own.

Yeh i believe that there is a god, heaven, hell and a devil. And i do believe that people do go there. In the bible it says that the only way to heaven is through christ. So no matter how good u are, if u dont believe in christ u do not get to go to heaven.
God bless~

Biblical the devil works under Gods authority so theinking outside of our 3d world the God and the Devil are the same entity.
Might want to ponder that a little

There's definitely no such thing as hell, when you die. As there is no such thing as hell (except what some people experience in this life), do we actually need heaven after we die?
Oblivion would be heaven if you weren't aware of it. Just make the most of what you have and believe in anything you want, so long as it's positive.
If there is anything to experience after death, I would take a tour of our solar system - especially Europa, to see for myself if there's life in the ocean under the ice there :)
