They would immediately go to heaven, would you do it?
What about 1000 years?
-Thanks for answering!

A day to God is 1000 years so that would be a long time.

What a good question! It really challenges how much we care about other people.
I would like to say that I would, because I would like it if all people would go to Heaven. In one of the letters in the New Testament, the writer says that is God's desire, " That no one would be lost.".
The fact is that I don't know what I would do if I had that option. One hundred years in Hell is a long time. My last 6 years on earth have been so painful that I don't think I could stand another one hundred years of what I'm experiencing now, much less, something that would be infinitely worse.
Thanks for the great question!

No all those people in heaven would have to suffer forever with the smucks from hell. Then who would I be helping.
It's kind of like giving someone cuts in the construction zone. You are rewarding the bad guys for bad behavior and punishing the good guys for waiting patiently in line. It makes no sense.

Hell exists in eternity. There is no 100 years or 1000 years there, so your question is logically impossible.

No becuase a lot of people deserve to go to hell. Theres no reason why i should save a murderer from being punished.

No. I try to "save" them while they are here on earth by sharing the Word of the Lord. If they choose not to accept Him, there's nothing more that I can do. If I have earned my place in God's kingdom, I'm going to enjoy all of my time there. I don't like hot places.

Sure, Satan is probably a nice guy. If you think about it, the only person he screwed with in the Bible was Job, and that was because God told him to.
God, meanwhile, is telling people to kill their children, turning people into salt, promoting genocide, etc.

Pretending hell existed...
No, because I also wouldn't go to jail for 100 years so nobody else would go to jail.
Do your own da(m)n time.

No, because in the process you would save Hitler.
