The important thing is to not lose your "Get Out of Hell Free" card. Don't even trade it for Park Place.
Seriously, though, some believe it's not only possible but guaranteed. Universalists believe that Hell is not a place of retribution, but rather one of rehabilitation, and that everyone will eventually be reconciled with God. This makes far better sense to me than believing that a benevolent, just god would condemn his creations to an eternity of suffering.

Hell is your life gone wrong. Many stupid people believe Hell is pain. There is no physical pain after death - you're dead. What's the worst that it could do? Hurt? You're dead. There is no real pain. The only pain is your life gone wrong. In that respect, Hell is a choice made by your mind. Christians believe in hell being some form of seperation from god's love because you don't believe as they do. Ask Buddists if there is a hell. If God created everythign then God created Buddism and the countless other religions. He would not have created a religion that doesn't believe in hell if there was one. Therefore, there is no hell. It's all in what your mind - your concience - believes. If you think you will go to hell, you will. The afterlife is entirely what your mind shapes it to be. Those who call themselves christian will say this is a lie because they have closed their eyes to all but their beliefs - doing unto others what they had done to them in the days following Jesus. Ask the Anabaptists what happens to those who want freedom to believe differently. This is the reason for hell. The church put hell in place to keep you in line and when that failed, they tried more drastic measures. Ask the Anabaptists. You want to get out of Hell? Then you must make amends with your own spirit. God will forgive you no matter what. That is his job. When a child does something wrong, you punish the child but in a loving way. A spanking is followed by a hug. You guide the child, you do not orphan them. God will not forget you, no matter your crime. It is you who must forgive yourself. And acting good because you hope that will get you into Heaven won't do it. You have to truely believe in what you are doing and that it needs doing. Not for you but for the people you are doing it for. There can be no alterier motive. Only by committing yourself to others for their sake, not your own, can you change your opinion of your final destiny.

Sorry. Its you are in Heaven for eternity or you are destroyed when the Holy City New Jerusalem comes down from heaven with all Gods people. When Satan Resurrects all that he has deceived to hate and rebell against God to Destroy the Holy City Fire will come out and destroy all the wicked. Hell is really the eternal seperation From a loving God for eternity. There is no Eternal hell. The wicked will be consumed, some in moments some days some month.

Oh hell no.
Part of the Christian bible Gods attitude is no compashion for anyone at anytime!
People have to make up their mind about this God when all the information we have points to him being a cruel sadistic child killer! Yet unless you bow to this you'll be tortured forever!
Yet in heaven there is no evil which means there is no ability to make choices. After all if you only have one choice then you really have no choices! Heaven is eternal slavery to God. Hell is eternal torture for not being God's slave! EITHER WAY YOU'RE SCREWED!
But remember the pink monkey loves you!
THERE IS NO GOD!

Nope sorry. You do not go there for bad behavior. So good behavior won't get you out. It's not like jail.
You go there because of your rejection of God's provision and sacrifice. Jesus Christ. Accept him as Savior and you'll not see hell and won't have to worry about how to get out of there.

Hell (hades, Sheol) is where all those who have died are buried. It is the grave and Jesus will resurrect all those in hell (KJV) back to life, both the righteous & the unrighteous.
"And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."--Revelation 20:13-14
Hell (graves) will no longer be needed, for death also will be no more.

No, it is too late the decision has been made. The time to decide is now "Today is the day of salvation". God has made His way to heaven. It is the only way. Jesus said "I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the father but by me".
** Satan does NOT reign in hell. He is in torture in hell. This idea that he will be down there having a party is all wrong, He will be suffering for his choices, not ruling a kingdom Isaiah 14:99-11, 15 (referring to Lucifer), Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee...all they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee...thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

hell is being chastised by a so called christian for not believing in god. hell is living among hypocrits. hell is right here among close minded individuals that cannot respect another human being and his/her choice, regardless the denomination. hell can be many things and many places. just do good in this life. live for today and be the best person you can be.
