Who made hell?

Question

Before you say people do: How can people in the material world physically create a spiritual realm?
Isn't the only creator God?, especially on such a grand spiritual scale.........
If most people are going to hell like it says in the bible, God must have always known this, so what's the point? so when did he create hell, then or in the future on judgement day?

Answer 1

Hell in the Bible is also known as Sheol in Hebrew, It is where the dead are buried. It is the grave. It is not a place of torment as these Scriptures show:
Psalms 139:8: " If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there."
Proverbs 9:18: " But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell."
Proverbs 15:24: "The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath."
Amos 9:2: " Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down."
Jonah 2:2: " And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice." (The belly of the fish that swallowed Jonah would have been his grave, had God not rescued him)
Do any of these Scriptures make hell seem like a place of torment? God is love and does not torture anyone.
When Adam and Eve sinned, they were told they would return to the ground from where they came.All who died afterwards and who now die, go to hell (the grave) and it is comforting to know that they are not being tortured. The Bible says the dead know nothing at all. (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10)
God promises to do away with hell and death. (Revelation 20:13,14)

Answer 2

I don't think the Bible actually says that most people are going to Hell... We are able to choose for ourselves what our outcome will be when we leave this earth. Hell is more of a spirital realm where we are not able to progress, have physical bodies, and be with the people we want to because of the choices we made to not do good things. It may have been made by God, I don't know if anyone knows for sure. But I would say that it is not something that is coming in the future, it is there now where Satan is the ruler.

Answer 3

Hell is some place where beings there experience the pains and suffering there, right?
Humans are people who are born here where they also experience pains and suffering, etc right?
Hell is therefore the place where people who will be born there after death. To be born they people do bad and evil deeds, which principally arises from the first unwholesome thought in the mind. If these deeds are habitually and continuously being performed in this human life, then that mind is very probably to lead to hell after death like radio-waves that are attracted to same frequency wave-length.
This, is a somewhat simple explanation that hell is really created by oneself. God did not created hell for people, He simply knows how the mind works that land us into hell or heaven, etc. Therefore, he teaches us the way to heaven.
The Bible is not all correct written to tell the facts.

Answer 4

God created heaven and hell to give people what they deserve.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever would believe in Him shall not parish but have ever lasting life. John 3:16.

For those that do not beleive in that scripture will surely go to hell. And for some of you that are listening... hell is not a place where you party and drink all day. It's a place of everlasting fire burning and tourtering you.

Answer 5

Don't be so quick to ascribe this nonsense to God Jane. The idea of hell is strictly a man made idea that is only promoted by religious thought systems that believe in a judgmental punishing God. This version of God contradicts the God that Jesus spoke of and is the opposite of the God in the parable of the prodigal son. In other words Jesus tried to steer us away from the idea of a judgmental God but his teachings were hijacked and revised by Paul and others who wanted to retain the idea of a Judgmental God and eternal damnation.

This nonsense is not the truth and amounts to an insult to the real loving God that Jesus told us about. The judgmental God is a simple fantasy that does not exist.

If you believe in the story of creation, then obviously it was created by 'God'. Everything in the world has been 'created' with an opposite e.g. light - dark, good - evil, hot - cold, etc.. Hell, persay, was not created for satan - satan was a fallen angel who sat on the right hand of 'God' and after the events of the Garden of Eden (people say it was an apple...but it was more likely a pear). 'God' cast satan from paradise and hence hell was created, seeing there was no place in paradise where evil could dwell...opposite...heaven - hell...a jail for the souls of evil. Judgement day is everyday.

Answer 7

Hell was created by God to put:
all the spiritual sin and the devil, people who did not accept him as God on earth so that they would be punished.

God knew some would sin but decided to give them a choice to follow him or not. You may think it isn't obvious but God could come down and tell us each face-to-face and there would still be people that wouldn't accept him.

Answer 8

We made hell..., Your question assumes that hell is a supernatural realm created for and in the next world, whereas hell is here and now, made by us. Which was precisely God's intention. Having given us the free choice to create of ourselves and for ourselves whatever spiritual condition we desire, we choose to create hell and then we go to great lenghts to prove to God that we deserve to be in heaven.

Answer 9

If you are to believe in God then you also accept the fact that there is a down side to the after life.
So yes you made it by believing that it is there. What if the bible only states that there is a Hell to scare the evilness out of us. Why be bad if there is a small chance (fake or real) that you may go to a place where your soul is tormented until the end of time.

Answer 10

Hell is not poor man or ritch man.Its the belief you take what you want and dont care how you get it.Nothing matters but YOU and a small circle of people who will be cast aside if they dont matter anymore to be replaced by new tools to hail you on high.Its the selfishness and forcefullness of man to exact his will on other men to acheive his goal.God asked lucifer how to bring man to god.Lucifer would garuntee 100% of men to God,by pain and force.God sent Jesus his son to lead by example of goodness and love and sacrifice to show us the way home.Hell was not made but chosen to be a place where a man who will not have love in his heart and compasion and respect of his fellow man,and will hold hate and greed and lustfull perversions that harm and kill other souls of this world.He or she who will feel no guilt in there actions as they have left God and will be not forgiven.
Amen
