Just like anyone who knows someone you love is being hurt. We don't like it. But then, these same people said, they didn't want us to bug them and to leave them alone. God gave them what they wanted in that case.

The gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus. Rom. 6:23.
On the other hand the wages of sin is death.
Quite simply without the spirit of God you cannot entertain your next breath. Without the Gift of Eternal Life through Christ Jesus you cannot live eternally anywhere.
The idea that every one lives eternally without the life of Christ is absolutely false. It has always been a good money maker for anti-Christ teaching and has been taken without question by many Christians. What a slap in the face to the reputation of a loving and all wise God.
In addition, the hell most people think of is prepared for the devil and his angels. Further there is a vast difference between eternity and forever or forever and forever.
Christians are given the Holy Spirit and Scripture that they might search out and know the truth. If they would spend a serious week or two on this, in faith, you might not need to be asking this question.
My answer is I don't know how I could live with that and I don't.
What a misunderstanding of Scripture and of God's justice, mercy and love.
Now those who have done great evil can be sustained by God's spirit for a time of punishment, just as we are sustained by God's spirit here at this time. But the spirit that sustains my body, while it returns to God who gave it, is not the same as the life of Christ.
Only Christ's life, which was the tree of life in the Garden, is eternal. The way many Christians believe would put Adolph Hitler or such in eternal fire sustained by the life of Christ!!! That is what some are telling you here. I tell you that hell cannot contain, or death hold, God's gift of life through Christ Jesus.

This Christian lives with faith, peace, trust, tenacity, love,
meekness and hope. To think about loved ones living in hell is not on the top of my list. I just live my life in the best way possible and I give God all the glory for what He is doing continually in me, it is everyones choice whether they choose the God way or their way. I hope above all that at some moment in time He touches their hearts in His own special way.

Well, Christians spend a lot of time breathing. That's one of the most important things about living. And then you have to add eating, drinking and other things that are part of our normal bodily functions.
After all those things, we realize that we are not in control of what happens to those who do nothing but ridicule what God is and what God has to say. So I probably sleep as well as anyone with a back problem. Thanks for asking.

Huh? No Christian is suppose to condemn another person. If they think they know someone is going to hell or is in hell, they've missed a passage or two and need to go back and reread.

Knowing that each person has a right to make their own choices.
And that I know of, none of my family has been lost. Quite the opposite, my mother was saved when she died and my father was saved four days before he died. But even if he had not been, although I would hurt inside....I would respect that the choice was his to make.
However God is merciful...He heard my prayers and saved my father.

Yeap, that's one of the reasons I am not a Christian, my loved ones who have passed away were non-Christian. I'd rather go to hell and be with my kin then go to heaven and be separated from them for all eternity.

Christians have everlasting life in them at moment born of God, by the will of God.
I trust God that my family & friends & others I have prayed for, are or are going to be saved by Gods Redeeming Grace, before they die.

I can't think of any one I know, who has passed away that I honestly believe is in hell.
