Ok, We have a heaven and a hell. Hell was made for sinners. God made us all. God is all knowing and all seeing. God know my mind and heart. God knows what I am going to do before I do it. God knows my end of days.
Ok, if he knows that I am going to sin and go to hell. Why was I created? Why am I tortured in the afterlife when I was created to sin?
Don't say so that I would have the choice to turn to christ. Because, I am already predestined to go a certain path and if the choice is not Christ then it was known before hand. \
So God created hell to place the bad people he created? Am I the only one not making any sense of that?

You are right--it doesn't make sense. Hell is not a real place. It exists only in the imagination. God is love. God would not send anyone to a place like that.
You were created so that God might experience Itself through you, and that you might experience being separated and reunified with God, which is Life, which is You.
Your life is NOT predestined, when you look at it from the perspective of your every day, ordinary consciousness. You still have choices to make, any one of which could start you on a new path. But when you experience a place where ALL possibilities exist--I imagine this is how God sees things--you realize how limitless you really are (because You and God are One).

we just created it all. i mean, why blame it God?that he knows that i will make a sin? it's all men's way to escape their true nature of evilness. God gave us thoughts and brain,why not use it man?i mean,if WE know that what we're about to do is bad,then why do it at all?it's easy to say that God made me do it cos he created me to do it,hell no.we are just saying it because we are prone to sins.whether we mean it or not.and we hate ourselves for it.as a result we blame God of our sins.it is not god's decision to make some of us good or evil,that's why he gave us minds and conscience and it is up to us to use it well.do you think he'll create someone evil so satan can enjoy more company in hell?we decide for ourselves,he just guides us but it is still our choice to choose between what is right and what is evil.

As someone above said, God knowing the future does not necessarily mean that He determines the future. But even if He does, YOU don't know YOUR future and God's knowing/determining does not affect YOUR life. If you turn to God He will accept you!
god bless

One or more premises is just false. I, personally, prefer to leave out the part about "god exists at all" and that turns the rest of your problem into an interesting hypothetical question.

God knows what your goin to do. Correct. He put you here to give you free will to choose Him or deny Him. But he already knows which way your going to go. He just dont interfere with your decision. Knowing and giving you free will is two different things. Its all very confusing. But our ways are not of Gods. It would be like a roach trying to figure us out.

You still have the power to change & repent & come to Him, the outcome can still be different for you. Freewilll can change everyones destiny........Is it possible that your unbelief in God is actually an unwillingness to submit to Him?!..<>< <><
