Why do you think Jesus died for you? Sure God is all loving and caring, but that doesn't change the fact that there is a lake of fire called hell where souls who rejected Jesus are now suffering forever. We should try to save people from that place rather than deny that it exists. After all, the Bible very clearly describes it as a place of despair and eternal torment where the fire is not quenched and the worm does not die. I don't understand how any Christian can believe in everlasting life in Heaven, but not everlasting death in Hell.
P.S.
I hate it when people think that it's God who SENDS PEOPLE to Hell. It's really people who walk down the wrong path and to destruction. God doesn't want anyone to go there, but he's not going to stop people if they want to go their own way. We have freewill.

An example of a verse that talks about hell? That's easy.
And the devil who decieved them was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were thrown. They will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Revelations 20:10

If you believe in an all powerful, almighty, omnipotent creator, then by that same token didn't God the creator create all things in all of creation? Love and hate, light and darkness, the whole universe, the sun, the earth and moon, and if you are so inclined, the peace of everlasting heaven and the damnation of eternal hell? If all this is so, then surely God must have made a place or a destiny for everything in all of creation. If this is the case, then I believe there are a great many other possibilities beside your three dimensional universe, and yes through free will, we each in our own way choose our path, and our destinations.

Hi I am Hakotiankar,
Even though I am not a Christian, I fully agree that God does not send people to hell or heaven! The experience of these are in our imagination, which becomes our experience from our memory, all that we do, think and experience are stored in the memory. Thus when we experience hell when we die or when alive it is only the replay of this memory.
Why would God All mighty want to do some thing like reward or punish us, when god inside us as SOUL& SPIRIT will make us review our own action in time.
Thus I am of the view that there is no hell or heaven it is only our experience (Guilt) that makes us experience hell when we die or when alive.
This is why our preachers, priests and members of the holy religion tell us to always do only good things.

Christians don't believe in hell because one it is Babylon teaching. We are saved from death, Why did Adam not go to hell of fire? The SYMBOLIC lake of fire was the dump in which most cities of that time discarded their trash, and including persons that were stoned, whom did serious crimes. Not in the bible record was it meant for persons still alive to be put in that situation. Hence if we kept on living, why would we need a savior,??? a spirit body would be more superior than a fleshly one. One angel killed 185,000 soldiers, no human can even touch an angel.

That's a good question, "Why do you think Jesus died for you?"...
Why do you think he died? Wasn't it because of ignorance?
What does that say about the world? Can't you get past judging everyone and find true faith? True faith is believing that things will get better...that love is the basis of all...that little children that you see now will still be seen as little children a hundred years from now...that everyone will conquer fear and enable their minds to open to very large thoughts and hopes.
I don't believe in your hell and your division of souls because I can imagine something better. Can I help it if I can see?

real, the Bible does talk with reference to the lake of fireplace and sulfer. yet extra learn shows that this a symbolical place. no longer literal, which ability very final destruction. in case you maintain analyzing in that account in Revelation, it shows that Hades (or Hell) itself gets thrown there. How could desire to hell get thrown into the lake of fireplace if that's what it rather is meant to be? What it ability is that God will get rid of dying itself, destroying it perpetually. i do no longer deny hell exists. yet I do have self assurance the theory of hell is misconstrued. The greek word Hades surely ability "the user-friendly grave of mankind." it rather isn't any longer a firey place of torment. it rather is purely the grave. Even Jesus went there whilst he died. He died for our sins, sure. inspite of the undeniable fact that it became to open the way so as that we could have ever lasting existence. so as that we could be saved whilst the day got here that God destroys all wicked human beings. And be ultimately freed of sin and dying.

Let me save you from hell. When you die your memory and thought go with your soul. What you think will happen. If you think you are in hell, that is what you will experience until you think of something else. Whatever you think of is what you will experience heaven or hell.
PS- Why do you think you can save people from hell. We all have free choice and need to have our own experinces. God created the good and the bad. You need to know the lows to be able to experince the highs.

If he doesn't want anyone going there, then he shouldn't have given us the chance to decide if only one decision is right. That seems rather sadistic. Does anyone really deserve an eternity in torment solely because they didn't believe in someone they've never met?

Well I believe in a God that is full of love, forgiveness and understanding. We all make mistake and learn from our mistakes. You seem to present God as a single and close minded being without the understanding of what goes on in a person head when he or she makes a mistake. I think your mis-representation of God does him or her a disservice. You should lighten up on everyone allow people to live their lives with out you throwing stones.

eternal nothingness. or just ending. Hell isn't in the bible, Why would I believe it just because some sadistic fool who was kicked out of the catholic church for being a heretic says it exists
