Do Christian Hell and Heaven make sense?
A mass murderer who can simply go to Heaven by accepting Jesus Christ at some degree.
A Buddhist monk who saved many lives will eventually go to Hell for not hearing the "good news".
On the other hand, who doesn't know Hell, a place of eternal punishments, was one of many products created by an all-loving God?

As I expected, ha! Christians will always try to avoid this type of questions!

In fact, Satan did not create one flame in Hell. Hell was created by God.
That's right, Hell is a creation of God! Are you surprised? Don't be. The Word of God declared that this place was prepared for Satan and his angels (Matthew 25:41).
Many think that Satan will be down in Hell with a red suit and pitch fork in hand. Not so. In Hell Satan will suffer the judgment of God.

yes it makes perfect sense. whether or not you go to heaven depends on your relationship with God. and only he knows where your heart lies.

Why wouldn't it make sense? Buddhists believe in 20 heavens and 20 hells, yes? And how you were here will place you in one of the categories there. *Christians believe in one Heaven and one Hell.
1) Now the "Mass Murderer"; If the person knew the intention of the outcome, and followed through, then no. Why? He didn't listen to his conscience, and acted willfully against his victim. The person knew what he/she was getting into before the crime was committed.
2) As far as the Monk, the book says everybody will have a chance to hear the word of God, and they will choose whether they want to believe or not. This way, there's no excuses. You've all heard it and you made your decision.
3) I don't like to use this term, but How many people can you think of and go "Yeah. He/she probably would be in Hell." (We all do it, man.)

No some cannot go to heaven for just faith. It is much more of a process then that.
I am sure that there is no forgiveness for murder unless the person is mentally retarted. Or at least in my religion.
No one who does good and does not hear the word will go to hell. They will eventually have to hear and accept it in this life or the next.
Hell is a state of mind created by ones sins. Your level of hell depends on your accountability. Someone who does not know right from wrong for the eternal reason could not be punished. '
Most people do not know why to believe in God. When it seems so boring. Everyone trys to use punishment instead of telling them the blessings of living rightiously.
I know theres a God and I know through his spirit. He wants you to learn of the benifits of living a good life just beyond you going to heaven.
To learn these eternal truths check out www.lds.org
www.mormon.org People will try to misslead you about this but my answers make sense and there is a reason that you are going to try to be misslead. It is Satan trying to keep you from the truth.
This is the true church of God and his spirit will confirm it to you if you check it out and pray about it.
Good luck and god bless.

Absolutely not. Can one actually believe in a just and loving God who might turn his loved child away, sending him into an eternal hell simply because he made a mistake(sinned)? Now, ponder the fact that many people grow up without any knowledge of the fact that there could be more to life than life itself. Also, there are those who deeply believe that there are Gods/Goddesses/Deities instead of the Christian God. Many people make mistakes, some make more than others. It makes no sense to me whatsoever.

Since you know so much about Hell, Satan and God, why doesn't it make sense to you? I don't understand all of God's mercies, but we are all sinners, saved by grace and as weird as it sounds, yes a mass murder who repents and asks for forgiveness will go to Heaven. A monk, no matter how good he is, will go to Hell if he does not accept Jesus. We are not saved by good works, that is why and the monk had a chance to accept Jesus, if he chose not to, that's his choice.

The word hell is ofund in many Bible translations. In the same verses other translations read "the grave", "the world of the dead," and so forth. Other Bibles simply transliterate the original-language words that are sometimes rendered "hell"; that is they express them with the letters of our alphabet but leave the words untranslated. What are those words? The Hebrew she'ohl and it's Greek equivalent hai'des, which refer, not to an individual burial place, but to the common grave of dead mankind; also the Greek ge'en;na, which is used as a symbol of eternal destruction. However, both in Christendom and in many non -christian religions it is taught that hell is a place inhabited by demons and where the wicked, after death, are punished (and some believe that this is with torment).
Eccl. 9:5,10: "The living are conscious that thye will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all...All that your hand finds to do, od with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol, the plac ein shich you are going."
If they are conscious of nothing, they obviously feeelno pain.)
Ps. 146:4: "His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish."
Exek. 18:4 "the soul that is sinnig it itself will die."
As you see the Bible does not teach that God sends us to a firery place to be tormented forever, nor does the Bible say that the soul survives the death of the body.

Christians which one will consider mankind do not have a heaven and hell to put no one in, but God does. Creation of hell was made for the unbelievers like the bible says and heaven for the christians. In the end we will await to see what God says as opposed to what man says or think.

1.) the point about the mass murderer shows how great God is and how His grace extends to all
2.) Buddhists dont believe in heaven, they believe in Nirvana
3.) Hell was created by Satan
4.) a Buddhist monk wont "save lives" because hes not preaching about heaven

My 11 year old daughter has traveled in many places, including to Hindu temples in Nepal and India, Buddhist temples in Thailand and Tibet and had a shaman in the Amazon assign her the spirit animal of an egret. When her Christian friends told her she would go to Hell unless she attended Sunday School with them she decided on her own that it would be illogical if all the nice non-Christians she had come to know in so many parts of the world were doomed to Hell. So there you have it, an 11 year old girl who is smarter than most Christian adults.

the likelyhood of a mass murderer actually accepting the grace of God is slim
those who have never heard the Gospel will be judged by a different standard
and finally, Hell is any place that is separate from God, it was created for satan and his fallen angels.
if you choose to live this life separated from God, then you will still be separate in the next life.

Heaven and hell is a trick to lure and frighten some of us who are very weak and too lazy to think rationally. Christianity is a business that is run by very shrewed businessmen all over the world for a very long time.
