God created people with free will to choose what they want.
If they choose to sin and go to hell... then so be it.
And if they choose to do the right things then they well end up in heaven.
So... God has given everyone free will to choose, he doesn't put people in hell for no reason at all.

GOD does not make people
People make People
You are the result of a long list of survivors
you owe your entire existence to those that
succeded in Makeing YOU happen.
Your life is the present God gave you
what you do with it is the Gift you give god!
The love you give is ALWAYS second hand Love
for you get to feel it FIRST Love often Love well
SInce it is well documented that we have FREE CHOICE!
Something NO ONE EVER TOLD MEand took a long time to figure out IS that I can choose my OWN GOD!
MY GOD LIKES ME and would never ever send me to HELL
I Love My God he has shown me the teachings and life of Jesus which I try to emulate! Sorry I do not really believe in the Apostles and what they said a long time AFTER Jesus died Also took me a Long time to figure out I cannot be categorized as a heathen zealot atheist or agnostic. Sorry people make up these terms But the real truth of heaven (or Hell) and the realm of god is within you yourself. Not up or down these are people terms there is no UP or Down in the universe. BTW If I must be CATEGORIZED I guess the closest thing I found would be a deist!
You have free choice Use it wisely
Learn much and use it well

I was always taught that i was created out of love. That said i really doubt there is such a place as hell or heaven. I think we ascend, and depending on how you lived your life, not according to this man made nonsense dogma, but if you lived your life to be a good well meaning person, it's a matter of nearness or farness from god. not like a physical place. and also how is it you'll be burning forever if you don't have a body? so much ignorance.

I guess he wouldn't have to send them to hell. If God is truly all powerful he could have set up the situation any way he wanted to, you know no hell at all. If he has rules he has to follow, like the only way to know if people are good is to give them a choice with consequences, if truly all powerful this is NOT necessary, what is God taking credit for that God didn't do. Ah the paradox. No God, no problem.

Everyone is born destined for hell.
A curse from the original sin of Adam and Eve.
They had free will and chose to disobey.
You have free will and can do the same.
How? Not loving God and other people.
Love can not be demanded, it can only be given freely.
Jesus freely gave His life for you because of His love,
so that you can have a loving relationship with God.
Your choice and free will.... and consequence.
Welcome to eternity.....
Did you prefer smoking or non-smoking?

God is a loving person with a tender personality i believe. He has a sense of care that noone else on this earth can give. He loves all mankind, just not the sin that lives within.

this is a test. Do we love God?? now its ur choice if u take the right path or the wrong path. God is very forgiving n loves us alot. God can forgive anything but not a person who is a disbeliever.

God has answered that for you.........
Romans 9
14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not! 15 For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” 16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to the Pharaoh, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.” 18 Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens.
19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?” 20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?
22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, 24 even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?

Great question! If, according to many religions, god is omniscient and exists out of time and knows everything and how everything will turn out, why create people knowing they will not worship him and he will have to condemn them to an eternity of punishment? He knows he has not left enough evidence to support belief in him, yet rather than provide it he just sentences non-believers to eternal torture. Loving god? I think not!
good thing god is imaginary!
