It seems that some people are having a hard time understanding what I typed before, so I will try to make it really really simple. If total freedom is chaos(freedom without boundries is chaos) and total chaos is total is free will(being able to do what ever you want and being able to do it to who ever you want to), and hell is the ultimate affirmation of free will(a place were people go who reject God and His ways-love, mercy, and justice-), can there be happiness for the regular person who lives a good live but rejected God and His order and finds them selves among people, demons, and the devil who rejected God and LIKE to rape, torture, beat, and mutilate others?

Dante deals with this one pretty well. Assuming there is a supernatural, and assuming the supernatural includes a "realm" like that which is referred to as "Hell" in Christianity, then why would it not be as likely that each of these types were sequestered with others of like mind? In other words, Hell could be much more individualistic than simply a random group of people running around attacking each other...
To take the question to its logical next step, would Heaven then be populated in part by people who had "accepted" Christ on their deathbed out of fear, but who actually had spent their lives raping and murdering, and who enjoyed that activity immensely? Would not "Heaven" be a form of "Hell" for them? Could they not transform "Heaven" into "Hell for others by reverting to former behaviors after death?

that's a lie! Thers isn't a single guy or woman who as quickly as confronted with the the certainty of the alternative (by utilising default) they had made to be hellbound, does not not decide on in any different case. How then can your assertion be genuine. There would properly be no happiness faraway from God. yet decide on we would desire to and could and for all too many, have already. Mat 7:14 because of the fact strait is the gate, and slender is the way, which leadeth unto existence, and few there be that discover it. (KJV)

It only seems as if we have free will. If you really think about it, there can be no free will. What we percieve as choices could not have happened any other way. Let's assume for the sake of argument that God made us. God couldn't make something if he didn't know how it was going to behave. He's God after all and he knows everything. Since God knows everything and he knows what we're going to do, he burns us in hell for what reason? It's like if I made a robot that I knew was going to go on a killing spree. It goes on the killing spree and then afterwards I punish it. Does this make sense? No. I KNEW it was going to do what I programmed it to do, just as a God would know what his creations would do. We have no more choice in what we do than the robot had in going on his killing spree. **Humans are nothing more than extremely complex biological computer programs.**

Yes, because even though You may not have done things that are bad, sin had entered. Everyone (accept Jesus), lived without sin. Our Heavenly Father loves us so much He gave us that freedom to choose Him or Not, and because God is pure He can't live with sin. Sin has to be atoned for. It cannot be forgiven or erased. The Heavenly Father loves you so much that He sent His only begotten Son (Jesus) who is pure and lived a sinless life (the only one that could) because Jesus is God to atone for your sins forever, you sins would no longer be covered but be gone forever in God's sight. Jesus said I am the only way the the lgiht to have eternity and there is no way besides me. So, no and if or buts. You go to hell if you reject Jesus.

there is no freedom when god is ruling what you get is everlasting life with out any chaos. Free will is being able to chose weteher you want to live for ever under god protection. oR like he said "to the ground i made you out of you will go back to" the meaning of hell is coman grave. there is no hell if god is going to destory devil like he said in the book revlation. and isaia. that would not be far if you lived for ever that is onley for the one he chose. you would not be any better than the devil hime self like you said "devil who rejected god." that would be you.

Don't kid yourself into believing that you will have company in hell. Hell is a place of total separation TOTAL... there will not be litttle red man with a pitch fork nor will there be anyone else around to share the agony of your separation.
It is no "Party"of sinners !

Wickedness never was happiness. If you are not for God, you are against Him. You can live to be 105 and life will still be short. Don't waste the time of your probation. You will be sorry you did.

total freedom is not the regection of order, it is a willingness to follow order for the benifit of ones self, one only gets to heaven by choosing to go there.
