If hell exists and people really go there. whats the point of it? hell itself. having a hell so people can burn eternally. "god's children" in my opinion. everyone is capable of learning what is right and what is wrong. its easy for some people to sit and point the finger at other "bad" people. but each person is raised differently. people are subjected to horrible things. and neglected. and they may choose a life of hatred and murder only because they're afraid of love. they may not become christian because they are angry at god. but deep down they're only hurt and confused. why should they have to be sent to hell. Hell doesnt teach anyone anything . why would a god create such a place. he gives us "Free will" . but at the same time he plants fear in us with his "Hell".. which makes free will pointless. its like "do the right thing.or burn forever".so it really isnt free will at all. if god is everything then he's hell too. so it isnt really a god of love. more like a god of orders

Go with your gut instinct. Run with it. You have been listening to stories about a supposed God of love who would allow His children to suffer torment for eternity for a few years of sin. Does that sound right to you? You are simply man, not a God and would you treat your own child this way. You are listening to lies that have been repeated so many times that they are now considered to be the truth. So called Christians who spew this garbage will pay a very dear price come judgment day.

The point of Hell is to punish people who deny God as their Savior and won't accept Him into their lives. Yes, people are subjected to horrible things but that doesn't mean that they are any less capable of accepting Jesus into their hearts, or even going to church. They shouldn't be angry at God for the things that have happened to them, He isn't the one whom did them. They should go to God and ask Him for guidance and help with their troubles. Yes, we do have free will because people don't always choose to follow Him even with the knowledge that if they don't they will go to Hell. They have the choice and that IS freewill. God is not Hell, Satan is Hell, don't get the two mixed up....
God is too love. God is where love came from...He IS LOVE! He is not a God of orders, he is a God whom is everything good.
If you are not in your walk with God I strongly encourage you to start it. Many people believe that the end is near, where do you want to end up eternily?
God Bless!

God will not send us to hell . At judgement day for unbelievers , God will open the books (the bible ) And the people will be judged by the many laws that they have broken ( done ) against the law of God. They will be found " guilty " by God the judge and be sentenced to eternal punishment for their sins (crimes ) .They by their actions on earth will have to be punnished ,Seperated from God for ever. He will not let sin in to Heaven .We will reap what we sow. It will Happen !!
That is why we are to teach the Word of God to all corners of the world.So people won't go through that.

One can only be a Child of God by acknowlegment of God and The Son of Man. God will not let ANY of HIS children face eternal damnation.

God has the right to set the limits of our behavior, when we violate those limts, that's sin.
The punishment of sin against an infinitely good God must be infinite, because there is no limit to the extent of the disobedience.
Matthew 25:34-46
34 "Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 'For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;
36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.'
37 "Then the righteous will answer Him, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink?
38 'And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You?
39 'When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?'
40 "The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.'
41 "Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;
42 for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink;
43 I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.'
44 "Then they themselves also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?'
45 "Then He will answer them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'
46 "These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
