If God, as it says in the bible, will forgive all sins then why is there a hell where can just sentence them there for there sins?

You have to ask in order to be forgiven. Hell is only for those who reject Jesus Christ, God's plan of salvation.

Well God forgive only the true ppl who are asking for forgiveness. He's not going to forgive ppl who ask for forgiveness but thenif u go back to teh wayt hat u were and u do the same thing again. He won't forgive you becuase then He knows that you'll just go adn do the same thing But He gives ppl alot of chnces to go to Him and be on His side and truly know that He is Lord and also the ones that have a great adn true honesty relationship with God. But if they keep refusing God He will just sednt hem there. God deons't do that cuz He hates the ones that don;t believe bu beczu He doesn't want to be in the same place with non-believers. Thats like u being in a room with ppl that u don't like. You're goign to of course try to get them out.

There isn't. Hell is never mentioned in the bible. Hades is not hell. It is the grave. There is no hell.
P.S. Hi everyone! Seems littlebitty06 down here has just personally emailed me to tell me to quit "misleading people". Here is her preumptious email:
just wanted to let you know there is a hell in the bible so please don't mislead people there is a hell.... just read in Revelation and one day every person will bow before him........
...Excuse me, I think I have just as much right to answer questions in this forum as YOU do. It's so typical of the Fundies to try and censor everyone--Bush, their leader, gets away with it, so I guess they think they can too.
P.S.S. Just thought I'd try and educate here, while I'm at it: Did anyone know that the word HELL actually came from the German Goddess of the underworld named HEL? It's true. Look it up.

He will forgive if you ask and have a relationship God. So we can share joy love and be pure like he had first created us. I'd much rather ask forgiveness and live the life i live now and go to heaven. Rather than questioning what he says and just do as he asks of me because living my span of life for him does not compare to the sacrifice Jesus made for me that is why i love him so much. Asking forgiveness and living life is a whole lot better than going to hell that is for sure.

Because God will forgive all sins for those who elect to stop sinning! Not saying that we ever will (no one is perfect), but to live a life where it is your daily work to put sin as far away from you as possible. To those He forgives all sins, but to those who elect to continue, He allows it by turning you over to yourself to do those things that you please:
Romans 1
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
**not convenient? Wow, sin IS quite an inconvenience, isn't it? Think about all the trouble people go through and lengths and depths in order to do dirt...interesting!**
After all, wouldn't it be redundant to continue to forgive someone who continues to offend...and has no intention on ever changing? I think so.
Peace to you.

God dose not for give sin!
God is a God of the law!
only through sacrifice can sin be removed!
Through Innocent blood!
Christ is our sacrifice, accept Christ and your sins can be removed!

God's forgiveness is always available for those who repent of their sins and ask to be forgiven.

because some people refuse to admit to their sins and ask His forgiveness. kind of like then you were a kid and you had to know "the magic word" all you have to say is please God forgive me (with sincerity)

Hell is a metaphor, not an actual place.
