Do you believe in Hell, or even the devil?

Question

I don't. I think all of that is a lie. In my opinion, if God loves everyone, he won't send anyone to "Hell." Maybe different stages of heaven, but NOT "Hell." I'm only 11, so don't laugh at me. =)

Answer 1

Satan and his evil throne in Hell are just as real as Santa Clause and his North Pole.

Answer 2

Yes, there IS a Devil and yes there IS a place known as Hell. God IS a loving God, but we have something called free will; the ability to choose our paths. God does not want ANYONE to go to Hell, but if we spurn His love, we commit OURSELVES to that place known as Hell. The Bible describes Hell as a place of eternal torment, one of those being eternal separation from God. God is a loving Father, but at the last day He will also be the Judge of us all. Our own deeds will convict us, unless we accept Jesus as our Savior. This acceptance will cancel out our past because Jesus took our sins on Himself and was the sacrifice of atonement on the cross. Talk to a pastor, get a good study Bible in a translation that is a little easier to understand than the King James Version, but most of all, PRAY. Ask the Lord for understanding.

Answer 3

Yes,the Devil is real.He used to be a good angel but didnt want to listen to Jehovah anymore and he became the Devil(which means 'slanderer)and Satan(which means 'resister')
You may remember when Jesus was in the wilderness for 40 days,Satan came and tempted Jesus.And remember Jesus spoke to Satan.So yes,the Devil is real.
"hell" is not a real place.The idea of a fiery place of torment came from people a long time ago that didnt beleive in Jehovah God and different religions today made that one of their beliefs to scare people.The problem lies in the translations of some Bibles,where they translate the Greek word used into the word 'hell' when actually the Bible is talking about the common grave of mankind and not some scary,hot place where people suffer.Of course God would not even think of something so awful as hell.He loves us and wants us to be obedient and serve him.It good that someone as young as you are is asking questions.

Answer 4

Jesus talks about hell in Mark 9:43-48 and several other places in the New Testament.

So, I guess my question to you would be, do you believe what Jesus taught and do you believe what the Bible says?

Hell is a real place that God created for the devil and all demons. It also will be the eternal place of torment for all who have rejected God, through Jesus Christ. This is a very hard lesson to accept, but I can tell you that God does not want anybody to go there. That is why He came to the earth to live a perfect life without sin, to die on the cross for my sins and yours, and to rise on the third day in complete victory. If you believe this too, and ask Jesus to be your savior and forgive your sins, then you do not have to worry about hell.

I know its hard for a young person to be a Christian these days because of the peer pressure from your friends, classmates, or our society in general. Everybody wants to be cool, like the people on television or the movies. But Jesus can offer a life filled with peace, joy, and an inner strength that none of those people who are acting on television have.

Dear, it is your choice. Think, better yet, pray about what I have told you. It is a choice you have to make yourself.

To everyone who is going to blast me for preaching, I'm sorry if I offended anyone, but this is what I do, and I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Answer 5

What possible rational sense does either make? This delusion of resurrection (life after death) and judgment originated with the Persian priest named Zoroaster, a worshiper of the Indo-Aryan god Ahura Mazda (yes like the car, the name means "Wisdom"), was passed by his followers to the Babylonians, was passed by them to the Jews living among them in Babylon, and was passed by those Jews to other Jews in Judea on their return from Babylon.

This split Judaism into the Pharisees ("Persianizers") who were influenced by Zoroastrianism and believed in resurrection of the dead, and the real traditional Jews, the Sadducees, who never believed in life after death, and rejected the Persian influences of the Babylonian Jews. After the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70CE, the Persianized form of Judaism, the one with life after death and heaven and hell seems to have become the one which survived.

But it's all make believe. There's no evidence that any of it is true. It's just mythology like the Tooth Fairy, Leprechauns, Elves, etc.

Ask anyone who tells you there is heaven and hell to show you proof. All they can show you are old stories and they can't show you any proof these old stories are true. It's all lies and imagination and you shouldn't get to worked up over things people believe without any good reason to believe it. Most just believe it because someone else told them it was true and they aren't smart enough to know better than believe everything they are told.

Answer 6

There is a hell and a devil. The bible talks about how Satan was really an angel with God but he wanted to be more powerful then God. God gave us free will to choose whether nor not to believe in Him. He loves everyone yes, but don't u think it would be weird if people went to heaven even if they hated God?? God gave us a choice... we have to decide.

Answer 7

I believe in GOD only, but I do belive in the existance of hell and the devil. If people don't love God and don't obey God then they have every reason to GO TO HELL.

Answer 8

No I don't believe in Hell or the Devil. And I am 53 years old. So don't laugh at me either.

Answer 9

Yes there is a "devil" his name is Satan. Yes there is a Hell. God doesn't send anyone to Hell.That is a choice we make ourselves.By accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as our personal savior and knowing that he died on the cross for our sins and asking forgiveness we will be saved from Hell.

Answer 10

I would never laugh at you. This is a very good question. Personally, I do not believe in hell or the devil. However, evil does exist in many forms and you must be careful not to be taken in or hurt by it.

Answer 11

Adam was created to exist in a three dimensional environment. The spirit of man is the breath of life breathed into him by God, who is spirit. The physical body is the interface with the creation that surrounds us. To reject the heritage of Christ is to forfeit any opportunity to a different heritage and remain solely in the lineage of Adam, destined to death and tethered to the earth to the end of these ages. Without the body, there is only darkness, silence and the absence of any manner of sensation; alone, comfortless. It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: The destiny appointed to those who fail to avail themselves of God’s grace by faith is the same as the earth, to be cast into the Lake of Fire.

The alternative is to enter heaven as a member of the ruling class by being born from above into the family of the only begotten Son of the living God. To receive a new body, to dwell upon a new earth under new heavens and to live throughout the ages yet to come wherein dwelleth righteousness. No more suffering, no more pain, no more tears, no more death. What will those ‘new ages’ be? What will the new earth look like? We will look upon God himself when He makes his tabernacle with men. Disneyland advertises they have the ‘happiest place on earth, but it pales by comparison with that which awaits the child of God.

It still amazes me that anybody rejects His offer.

Jesus summarized it best: Ye must be born again.
