For God so loved the world that he sends most of us to hell?

Question

I think this is acceptable except that hell is not the way christians envision.

Does your father beat you forever for one thing that you did that hurt him? Or will he give you a room to think and change after for two or three beatings?

Answer 1

lol in part your right but not in the way you think. to many hell is a burning place where our soul goes when we die, that is the teaching of many organized religion. In that place your soul is to be tormented forever. yet the bible says that the dead are not awake at all, that they remember and feel nothing. the word hell comes from the Hebrew word shello which means in their language the earth. the only burning place mentioned in the bible, was outside of the city of Jerusalem where they burned the city garbage. as a means of sanitation at the time, yet many churches proclaim this is prove that hell does exist. so we has humans do walk in hell and live in, its one we have created for ourselves, without gods help. proof of this can be taken from when Jesus walked the earth and Satan the devil offered him all the kingdoms of the world. he could do that again to day if he wished. we live we prosper and die under Satan's influence and the endowment he has created. so yes god loved us so much that he allowed most of us to live in this hell to give all of us the chance to accept his glory and gifts and obtain what he original purpose was for us.

Answer 2

I agree that hell is not what Chrisitians envision, and if there is a hell they also may be surprised that with their close minded ideas of judgement that treats god like he is their individual pet monkey who performs tricks for a banana, it may be them who is swimming in the lake of fire. Hell is not a place it is a level of concenousnes, as well as heaven. And if we dont just admit that it has nothing to do with whether you believe in god or not. But if your actions are in conjunction with the acceptance of yourself and your fellow man. This is to be god like.
And as far as the beatings go.... Thank you father may I have another. I wish you well

Answer 3

You see, but that just makes me think you are gullible.

How can you PROVE all these people go to hell, In the same aspect that we can't prove they went to Heaven

God is forgiving, and gives everyone a trial, suposidly, so In that aspect, maybe even Hitler is in heaven, or reborn.
Boy I'm going to get some thumbs down for that one, hehe.

Answer 4

I guess you don't read your Bible either.

John 3:16-17 (New International Version)
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

So anyone who believes does not go to hell so I guess its really all up to you.

Answer 5

Hell does not exist, god is the experience of enlightenment, not a being that we should worship. We are given unlimited chances to reach enlightenment, it is a learning process. Hell would only interrupt this process.

Answer 6

You're gonna get answers like 'it's not god who sends us to hell but our own actions; god wants us to be with him and loves us unconditionally'. I puke when I hear this -- it's some weird logical hoops people jump through to try and resolve the apparent contradictions. I've received answers that say God is unconditional love but salvation is conditional, thus the existence of hell (!!!). I've also asked why the world is so horrible (death, bacteria, etc.) and people tell me it's due to adam's sin. Then I say, ok, then god made the world full of horrors and disease as punishment for adam's sin so ... the world is horrible. Then they say no, there still is beauty in it because god made it but the negative stuff is from adam's sin. Jesus ... my head spins!

Answer 7

Sin has consequences- and GODS WAYS are not OUR WAYS. ( as it says in Isaiah)People have to remember that. God is JUST and his justice far exceeds our own- he is HOLY. Why would a Loving and merciful God who is JUST let people who have sinned against Him forever and blasphemied his name into his kingdom? There is a Heaven and a Hell. God is giving us a free gift into heaven through his son Jesus Christ- but for one to know of his great love you must acknoweldge you have sinned against Him- until then you will never have the desire. And I pray God draws you to Him- through his wonderful Gospel.

Answer 8

God does love you! God doesn't want you to go to hell, he wants you to spend eternal life with him in heaven. The penalty for sin is death, but God sent his own son to save those who believe and accept him.Jesus died so our sins could be forgiven, and we could go to heaven.I don't mean to be harsh, but it's your fault if you go to hell because it's your descision to accept Jesus or not. I suggest reading the Bible more and get a good translation that you can understand well.
The verse John 3:16 says: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." not that he sends most people to hell. I suggest you read that verse and think about it more. It says those who believe in him shall not perish/go to hell. If God didn't love us, he wouldn't have sent Jesus to save us. I hope this helps you understand. :)

Answer 9

God Is Forgiving
All you have to do is repent.
He does not "send" anyone to hell, we condemn ourselves to it, we have a choice to accept or deny and in the end the only one to blame is us.

Answer 10

No no no. He beats you forever for doing things that DON'T hurt ANYONE.
