no. God did not make man with intentions of sending him to hell. In fact there are a few things that God can not do. He can not lie, change, or force man to do something. Keeping that in mind, anything God says (the Bible) is true. Not only that but He will never say one thing one minute and another thing the next. Lastly man goes to hell only because he chooses to go to hell. hell is righteous punishment for a sinful world. however Christ died for us so that we wouldnt have to go to hell. When we accept Christ as our savior we are not bound by the laws of man but by the grace of God. take this information and know that you dont have to spend eternity in hell.

God made man (generic) to have fellowship with Him forever.
Yes, after the fall of man (generic) we were all destined to go to hell.
God did not make churches.
God sent His Son into the world because He loved everyone and did not want anyone to go to Hell. God supplied this sacrifice so that those who repented and believed that Jesus Chist was that sacrificial gift would be rescued from Hell and have everlasting life and fellowship with God forever. God gave every man (generic) free will to choose to reconcile with Him through Jesus Christ or to choose to reject the reconciliation and stay seperate from Him in Hell.
There are 2 ways to live.

No. Why else would there be so many religions trying to sell us "salvation." God had nothing to do with producing bibles or churches. In "my" faith, which is of the order of ancient egypt, "we" are the "gods" of our own destiny by our behaviors. What we "choose" to behave like, good or bad, comes with consequence, also good or bad. Jesus, whom we accept as the "divine child" prophesized by Nu, told of this when he was on earth. There is a "heaven" but "god" does not force anyone to bend over backwards for him to be found worthy. He offers "help" in the form of a "holy spirit" to all believers as a "guide" in this life so as to "gain" the next in eternity. Restrictions of the flesh matter little as opposed to restrictions of the spirit. Haven't you heard the saying, "hell is what you make it?" This "is" hell, for in the "flesh" we are subject to many "sorrows" we will not have in heaven and is the reason Jesus said, "I go unto the father which is in heaven." Were heaven "here," he would not have said, "you are of your father the devil." Look around you and all the murder, violence, and the agonies of this unpredictable world. Why would a loving God in heaven put "us" upon it.....

Yes.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
1 Timothy 1:15 - This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

Our destiny, in my opinion, is to evolve into a higher state of being (a higher state of consciousness, like that of Jesus or Buddha). And I believe that the process of getting there is ever perpetuating until we reach the state (that consciousness) that we're meant to be in.
Some will try and say, "Who's to say that I want to be in the state that we're all supposed to be in?" And the answer to them is, "You don't!" If you don't believe it, then you don't have to! Simple as that!
But, when the time comes, I believe all of our souls, that have been circulating thru many lives, will reach the point of clarity and that we'll have the peace and love we all yearn for on the inside.
And, if someone tells you that they don't have any yearning for love and peace within themselves, I think you will discover that they are just misunderstanding the emotions within themselves.
This, of course, is merely my own understanding and opinion. No one has to believe, nor care what I have to say. I just wanted to put my thoughts out to the world and hope they are heard by some. For, I believe that those that hear what I am saying are those that are meant to hear at this point in time.

I doubt it.If there is a God,I doubt we understand him/her.It's not that I'm a full atheist,but I distrust ancient man.They're the same people who thought the earth was flat.I can't see why people still follow the book based on a group's word.The Bible isn't even the same as it used to be.Going through many translations,some things were lost and mistranslated. Even with modern books,you still need a good translator. Linguistics are harder than you think.

Jesus Christ died for our sins so we could live with him in Hell. The Bible is Gods word that tells us about his past and plan for the world.

our destiny is a choice that we make that causes us to either condemn ourselves or accept the ways of Thee Lord. Man's nature is a sinful one, but Jesus gave us a way to heaven. Some people, however, are destined to bring about the end of the world. Like Judas played a roll that someone had to in order for prophesy to be full filled.

Yes we are all predestined to hell. However, we do have hope.
Romans 6:23 says: For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through his son Jesus.
