you ever sit there and think well this kind of punishment on mankind is more then just cruel, we dont even punish the worst of people that way in our own country, wouldnt you do as american soldiers do and fight for freedom not to be harmed for having your beliefs to your choice of God? See i personally do not think God allows us to be punished for eternity, and a lot of people say well God didnt send you there you sent yourself there, well not letting a person into heaven is considered evil in my book. Anyway i believe in a God of total love and forgiveness and there are many ways to him just like there are many different looks, opinions, styles and languages out there.

Well, yeah, an all-loving God would never let his creation (that he loves) burn in hell for their mistakes, unless he's not all-loving.

Yes, it does, and unnecessary. It is also unbiblical. The punish-ment lasts forever-in other words, is permanent in its results. The punish-ing is not eternal. God takes no delight in pain and suffering. That is why the world as we know it will soon come to an end. A better world awaits us and there'll be no Satan to tempt, no desire by anyone to see all that is wrong with this world be repeated. The Cross changed everything. Sin demands justice to stamp it out, yet God would not have us to be lost because of it. On the Cross Jesus displayed justice and mercy at the same time. Regarding the initial question: The Bible speaks of the wicked being burned up. An "unquenchable" fire is like the one at the Twin Towers on 9-11. That terminology was used then, but the towers are not still burning. It's just that noone could put the fire out and the results were permanent. There are so many Bible texts I'd like to share with you that tell the truth about "hell". Please msg. me for more info. Peace. Buttercup

Truth is truth. I couldn't agree more. No matter how much you believe or want to believe in a delusion it will not make it the truth.
Let's shorten this to something we can understand. If I live to be 70 and go to hell for a billion years (much much less than forever) I will be there for thirty years for every second I spent on an earth I did not ask to be born into. When the hell story was made up, it was not well thought out.

well the early christians had to come up with SOME way to scare the jews into following their man-god. so they invented hell and told the jews thats where they were going to go, along with anybody else who didn't worship the ground jesus walked on. but hell is no more true than the easter bunny.

I don't believe in eternal punnishment. I believe there is a hell, as described in the bible, but when the end comes, and God sends the Devil AND HIS FOLLOWERS to death, that will be the end of it. Those will just cease to exist.

It is not enough to believe....even satan believes.
Romans 10:9-10
If you confess with your mouth,'Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with you heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
As for the rest.....well .....I guess we will know who is right and who is wrong when the time comes.

God is God. There is only one truth, one way to heaven. He sets the standards and rules. It makes no difference if you disagree with them or not, truth is truth.
