Hell does NOT go on foerver. the people in Hell will be destroyed. You are right it is not fair that is why God will not do it.
what does God say "the wages of sin is death", not eternal life in the fire.
For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son theat whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
What is the definition of perish
1)to become destroyed or ruined : cease to exist
Who gets eternal life? the people who believe in Jesus
"Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it." Isaiah 47:14
Rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.Matthew 10:28
If God wants to destroy sin then wouldn't eternal life in the fire make sin ... eternal
people say the fire is eternal so sinners burn forever but
In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire. Jude 7
is Sodom and Gomorrah still burning? No but but the EFFECTS of the fire are eternal
When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever" (Ps. 92:7). wicked->destroyed
"The LORD preserveth all them that love him: but all the wicked will he destroy" (Ps. 145:20). wicked->destroyed
"I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire" (Ezek. 28:16). Satan->destroyed
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat" (Mat. 7:13) wicked->destroyed
"Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee" (Ezek. 28:16, 18). Satan->Ashes
God said you will die the Devil said you won't REALLY die the problem is the children of God believe the Devil over God
Think about it Revelation says God rains fire and brimstone on the wicked. Jesus says the meek inherit the earth, God is going to make a new Heaven and a new Earth so if hell fire goes on forever and ever then doesn't that make God a liar?

Is it fair ? Do heaven and hell actually exist ? Bible thumpers will tell you that they do. They believe the Bible is "God's word" even though it was written by just ordinary men. Which is like, getting a group of men together today and writing a book about their experiences and saying .. we are perfect men . therefore, we claim this book is from the words of God. Don't get me wrong, I believe in a God .. just not words that are in a book written by some other guys. To answer your question .. I think it depends on what you do with your 100 years on earth. If you consider that there may be no heaven or hell .. then, really, what you do on earth with the 100 years or so that you have here .. is how you make your life fun and exciting , and "heaven-like" .. or boring .. and "hellish". Don't worry too much about the after-life no matter what anyone tells you. Not even me. We are all human and therefore flawed. No person knows the absolute truth about anything. They can point to the Bible all they want.. it is still just a book with words in it written by other men. I think your life is the most important time ..and the time that matters the most to your creator . otherwise, why would he bother putting you here in the first place ? .. Good luck :)

It is very fair being you get to live for almost 100 years. Because after the 100 years there is nothing. You die and you end and all goes away, there is nothing more. It all stops and there is nothing after life. You will no longer feel or know time or anything. It just all stops. You no longer think or do anything.
The chemicals in your brain no longer conduct electric and there is no more thoughts and is what makes you what and who you are. You can no longer think so you stop. It is so to speak like a computer. It thinks till you turn off the switch and the body is the same way. When the switch is turned off you stop.
I really wish there was more but there is not. It all ends with death.
Live your life and enjoy yourself in what ever makes you happy. You don't get a rebirth and if you did what would make you think you would remember this life time?

Since the number of actual years it is possible to spend in either heaven or hell is zero, I'd say it's not a bad deal.

You responded your own question, do no longer you think of? this is incorrect to be judged for eternity on your movements during a hundred years (many times this is even much less). So maybe that may no longer what relatively happens? in case you think in God, do you think that he's a honest God? And if he's how ought to we be judged for eternity based on this variety of short while the place plenty is out of our administration? i discovered what i ought to different than as authentic with the help of examining distinctive religions and what they have self assurance and extra importantly WHY they have self assurance that and the origins of the ideals. you ought to do the comparable in case you may actual opt to understand. in any different case anybody can in user-friendly terms furnish up their opinion and you may ought to be certain who's good or if their opinion is clever to you. this is my concept that SOUL actual skill to respire. no longer inevitably that we are floating spirits. regardless of each thing is it relatively that no longer user-friendly to have self assurance that we come from no the place? seem at what you're on the 2nd you're conceived. you're 2 0.5 cells that blended to make one. And as quickly as we come into the worldwide we take our first breath and existence starts for us and as quickly as we desirable respiratory, we long previous.

This is an issue that bothers many people who have an incomplete understanding of three things: the nature of God, the nature of man, and the nature of sin. As fallen, sinful human beings, the nature of God is a difficult concept for us to grasp. We tend to see God as a kind, merciful Being whose love for us overrides and overshadows all His other attributes. Of course God is loving, kind, and merciful, but He is first and foremost a holy and righteous God. So holy is He that He cannot tolerate sin. He is a God whose anger burns against the wicked and disobedient (Isaiah 5:25; Hosea 8:5; Zechariah 10:3). He is not only a loving God—He is love itself! But the Bible also tells us that He hates all manner of sin (Proverbs 6:16-19). And while He is merciful, there are limits to His mercy. “Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon” (Isaiah 55:6-7).
Humanity is corrupted by sin, and that sin is always directly against God. When David sinned by committing adultery with Bathsheba and having Uriah murdered, he responded with an interesting prayer: “Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight…” (Psalm 51:4). Since David had sinned against Bathsheba and Uriah, how could he claim to have only sinned against God? David understood that all sin is ultimately against God. God is an eternal and infinite Being (Psalm 90:2). As a result, all sin requires an eternal punishment. God’s holy, perfect, and infinite character has been offended by our sin. Although to our finite minds our sin is limited in time, to God—who is outside of time—the sin He hates goes on and on. Our sin is eternally before Him and must be eternally punished in order to satisfy His holy justice.
No one understands this better than someone in hell. A perfect example is the story of the rich man and Lazarus. Both died, and the rich man went to hell while Lazarus went to paradise (Luke 16). Of course, the rich man was aware that his sins were only committed during his lifetime. But, interestingly, he never says, “How did I end up here?” That question is never asked in hell. He does not say, “Did I really deserve this? Don't you think this is a little extreme? A little over the top?” He only asks that someone go to his brothers who are still alive and warn them against his fate.
Like the rich man, every sinner in hell has a full realization that he deserves to be there. Each sinner has a fully informed, acutely aware, and sensitive conscience which, in hell, becomes his own tormenter. This is the experience of torture in hell—a person fully aware of his or her sin with a relentlessly accusing conscience, without relief for even one moment. The guilt of sin will produce shame and everlasting self-hatred. The rich man knew that eternal punishment for a lifetime of sins is justified and deserved. That is why he never protested or questioned being in hell.
The realities of eternal damnation, eternal hell, and eternal punishment are frightening and disturbing. But it is good that we might, indeed, be terrified. While this may sound grim, there is good news. God loves us (John 3:16) and wants us to be saved from hell (2 Peter 3:9). But because God is also just and righteous, He cannot allow our sin to go unpunished. Someone has to pay for it. In His great mercy and love, God provided His own payment for our sin. He sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross for us. Jesus’ death was an infinite death because He is the infinite God/man, paying our infinite sin debt, so that we would not have to pay it in hell for eternity (2 Corinthians 5:21). If we confess our sin and place our faith in Christ, asking for God’s forgiveness based on Christ’s sacrifice, we are saved, forgiven, cleansed, and promised an eternal home in heaven. God loved us so much that He provided the means for our salvation, but if we reject His gift of eternal life, we will face the eternal consequences of that decision.
