I believe in God and all that but if he loves us endlessly and would never want anything bad to happen to us, why would he allow us to spend an eternity in hell fire for at least ONE sin. Isnt he a forgiving God. Christians should really think about this. Maybe the bible was interpreted incorrectly.
If you listen to people who have CLAIMED TO EXPERIENCED THE AFTERLIFE and went to hell, they would tell you horror stories about demons torturing people forever and ever. Only pain. Why would someone who claim to love the human race so much allow an eternity in hell?
Check out this very interesting site. If you have time, you can listen to the recordings as well. It is just horrible. http://www.spiritlessons.com/

read john 3:15-18--God dont want u 2 go 2 Hell...but he cant twist ur arm and make u serve Him and go 2 Heaven!!
for example--A man has a son...the father wants the best 2 his son, but wen the boy reaches teen yrs, he rebels against the father and ends up on drugs...one unfortunate night, he in a state of dilusion, ends up murdering someone and for his punishment, he is sentenced to death!! The father still loves the son despite what he has done, but the father cant reverse the sin! the son must pay the consequences! The father cant pluck him off ''death row'' just because he loves him...the son chose to walk away from the loving father and he must pay the consequences of his actions! Same w/ us & God, except God loved us so much that he DID give us a way of escape from Hell--thru the shed blood of his SON!! Accept Him as ur way of escape!!

Is like prison house, criminals get different sentences according to the degree of crime, punishment is necessary for correction. When the sentence is over, he goes back to the normal citizen life.
Similarly according to the sin and for how long the person has been doing it, he get punishment for some time in hell. But is not forever. When the punishment end he is released, to get another chance.
The soul is eternally in relationship with God and his ultimate destination is to come back and be with Him.

ok, write this down.....
people do not go to Hell for one sin or many sins.
people go to Hell by choice.
it could be said that all the residents of Hell will be there voluntarily.
given the choice of accepting or refusing God's Gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, some people say to God "No thanks, I think I will just go to Hell and spend eternity there rather than in Heaven".
for the life of me, I will never understand why a person would choose Hell over Heaven....
but too many do.
That is God's truth regarding the matter.

If you don't believe in a God you won't have these worries! No God, No Guilt! As long as you are not hurting others directly or indirectly and are having fun enjoy life. There is no God, no heaven and no hell. The more you think like this the less worries you will have in life, goodness knows we have enough already!

If people comfortably live in sin with no regret and never ask God for forgiveness, they should go to Hell...He does give us the choice...He is a very forgiving God, but you can't expect Him to forgive those who don't believe in Him and won't ask for His forgiveness and salvation...it is a choice, you can choose to spend an eternity in Hell or Heaven....Thank God, I choose Heaven...

We will never go to hell as our faith in Jesus closes that door and brings us back into a relationship with the father God.
He sent his son to die for us because he loves us. this closes the door on hell all together...
Hope this helps,

Hell is not a place of eternal torment. It is actually just like a common burial ground. I have biblical backing, e-mail me for more info.

If you believe in God then you should also believe in hell and eternal torment. If you die without Christ, that is the place that has been reserved for you.
But the good news is: You're still alive so there's still time to say yes to Jesus......
May God be praised..........
