Why would your God allow for there to be a hell?

Question

If you follow a god that says you will go to hell if you do not seek him with all your heart then what makes him so great?
Wouldnt you want a God who would take care of the problem people instead of casting the problem people into hell.

Answer 1

You know, the one's that are complaining about it are most likely the one's going there? Isn't that ironic?

Look, if you don't want God in your life, just look at it as a chance to get away from Him for good. Your choice of course.

Answer 2

The existence of hell and the surety of the judgment are not the claims of fallible man. The Bible is the source of the claim, and it is utterly infallible. When someone becomes a Christian, he is admitting that he was in the wrong, and that God is justified in His declarations that we have sinned against Him.

However, let’s surmise for a moment that there is no Judgment Day and no hell. That would mean that the Bible is a huge hoax, in which more than forty authors collaborated (over a period of 3,000 years) to produce a document revealing God’s character as "just." They portrayed Him as a just judge, who warned that He would eventually punish murderers, rapists, liars, thieves, adulterers, etc. Each of those writers (who professed to be godly) therefore bore false witness, transgressing the very commandments they claimed to be true.

It would mean that Jesus Christ was a liar, and that all the claims He made about the reality of judgment were there-fore false. It would also mean that He gave His life in vain, as did multitudes of martyrs who have given their lives for the cause of Christ. Add to that the thought that if there is no ultimate justice, it means that the Creator of all things is unjust—that He sees murder and rape and couldn’t care less, making Him worse than a corrupt human judge who refuses to bring criminals to justice.

Here’s the good news, though, if there is no hell: You won’t know a thing after you die. It will be the end. No heaven, no hell. Just nothing. You won’t even realize that it’s good news.

Here’s the bad news if the Bible is right and that there is eternal justice: You will find yourself standing before the judgment throne of a holy God, who has seen every sin you have ever committed. Think of it. A holy and perfect Creator has seen your thought-life and every secret sin you have ever committed. You have a multitude of sins, and God must by nature carry out justice. Ask Him to remind you of the sins of your youth. Ask Him to bring to remembrance your secret sexual sins, the lies, the gossip, and other idle words. You may have forgotten your past sins, but God hasn’t. Hell will be your just desert (exactly what you deserve), and you will have no one to blame but yourself. This is the claim of the Bible. If you don’t believe it, it is still true. It will still happen.

Yet, there is good news—incredibly good news. We deserve judgment, but God offers us mercy through the cross. He paid our fine so that we could leave the courtroom. He destroyed the power of the grave for all who obey Him. Simply obey the gospel, and live. By doing that you will find out for yourself that the gospel is indeed the "gospel truth." Jesus said that if you obey Him, you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free (see John 8:31,32).

Get on your knees today, confess and forsake your sins. Tell God you are truly sorry, then trust the Savior as you would trust yourself to a parachute. Then you will find yourself in a terrible dilemma. You will know for certain that hell is a reality. When you get up the courage to warn people you care about, they will smile passively, and say, "Could you be wrong in your claims about Judgment Day and the existence of hell?"

Answer 3

Isn't taking "care of the problem people" "casting the problem people into hell"?
This is why Allah has created the hell fire:
Jeffery Domer
Hitler
9-11 hijackers
Scott Peterson
women who drown their children
child molesters
wife beaters
murders
and many more...

Do these types of people deserve to go unpunished for their deeds? Think about those who have not been caught by the law...

Lets say that you stole a pair of shoes from a store while at the same time your brother was raping the girl next door...do you deserve the same punishment as he? In Islam we know that God is Perfect. He is perfect in judgement. Humans know right from wrong; all of the shameful things and the ppl listed above know that they have comitted grave sin. Allah has told us cleary what is permitted and what is not permitted.
Many other faiths feel that the punishment for hell is forever but in Islam we know that Allah is merciful. He will reach into the depths of hell to deliver many from its punishment because you may have sinned but your sin may not have been as grave as someone else.

So you see God knows all things. He is not unjust. God is merciful to all of His creation, we have no idea of the things that He is able to do because we limited in our comprehenstion of how devastating the punishment could be.

Why would the One who has created you not punish you for disrespecting and ignoring Him when your only purpose in this life is to give Him His due praise by the way you live your life?
You think you have created you children...do you punish them when they do wrong? especially when you have told them over and over again not to do a certain thing?

Answer 4

But hell is precisely the SOLUTION! You may not like the solution but it is the solution nevertheless. God does not know of a better place than hell to cater to the people who rebel against His goodness and laws. Anything less than hell would be a miscarriage of justice in the character of God. Now, if you are of the opinion that hell is so terrible, then what are you doing to avoid going there?

Answer 5

I am an evangelical Christian. my god DOES take care of the problem instead of casting people into hell. He sent his son, Jesus, to atone for our sins. There was a heaven and a hell....then God created man and man was tempted by Satan and sinned against God. As a result, Adam's sin has effected all of us. In the same way that Adam's sin affected all of us, Jesus' sacrafice SAVES all of us. If God were completely FAIR and JUST we would ALL go to hell because NONE of us are good enough to get to heaven...none of us deserve it...it is only by God's MERCY that we get into heaven...because he sent Jesus...gave us the gift of his PERFECT son...it is our chiocie to accept it.

If God was great he would be just. He is. But he's also merciful which makes him INCREDIBLE. The question shouldn't be why God casts people into hell, the question should be why God gave the gift of salvation to a human race so undeserving and so unappreciative...knowing full well from the beginning who would and wouldn't accept his gift...

Answer 6

The God I know is a God of Love. He is a God that gives free choice to all of His children. And this choice extends to eternity, not just this life. Hell is not a place that God sends anyone. It is a place some may chose to go.

Answer 7

You evidently have a misconception of God and His loving nature. For starters, God didn't create hell for us. It was created for the devil and his angels. The love of God is displayed in the fact that He sent us Jesus, so we wouldn't have to go to hell. In doing that, He did take care of the problem. Furthermore, God never forces anyone to serve Him. He wants you to do it of your own free will. That's why He gave you the opportunity to decide.

Answer 8

If a god existed I do not think that it would be petty enough to inflict barbaric pain on those who do not vouch for belief systems that reduce our universe to a 6-day experiment. There is no excuse for suffering.

Those who tell you otherwise have rationalized hell from their religious ancestors. Hell was little more than a threat of violence against non-believers who rejected an early, sometimes hostile, and spreading faith.

The universe is bigger then most religionists have dared to imagine. I suggest learning about it before coming to your own conclusions.

Answer 9

He did take care of the problem, but it is our choice if we go to hell. How did He take care of the problem- by sending His Son to pay the price that we could never pay so that we would not go to hell, where we deserve to be for eternity. We are ALL the problem- it says that ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. and THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH, BUT THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. If people go to hell it is because they chose not to accept Christ as their Savior. God wants all to be with Him for eternity. What do you choose?

Answer 10

Actually, God didn't create hell. Satan was Lucifer and started a War against God and thus as a consequence hell was created. I don't think if there was a God he would have intentions of creating a hell. Even as a non - believer. Get some facts straight before you post questions sounding like a retard.
