Yes., my heart aches for them. That's why we try so hard to help people go to Heaven. But most people don't want to listen or think we are cramming religion down their throat, when all we really want to do is help them have a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.
God bless.

Dear Graciela,
"Hell" is not an actual place at the present time. It does not exist! If you read the Bible youunderstand that God is perfectly just. Therefore, He will not sentence someone to "hell" before they have had their trial. The trial will take place on the last day or the end of the world (2 Peter 3).
We are told in Revelation 20:11-15, "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
When the Judge (God) gives His decision and it is carried out, the "case" is closed. Those who have died (and those who are presently alive) are now awaiting closure of their cases.
Hell does not exist at this present time. God will create it when Judgment Day arrives.

Of course, The only time we can decide to live for Christ is while we are alive. After death it is too late. That is why Christians try to tell people about Jesus and the Way to Heaven. Each person has to decide for themselves whether or not to accept Christ's death on the cross.

First no one is tortured in hell.
Second I of course do not take pleasure in the death of anyone
Third, no one goes to hell who does not deserve to go there, so if people hear of Christ and reject him, they have dug their own grave and all I can do is let them bury themselves.

No, I feel sorry for Jesus who had an unspeakable unwarranted death for their sake and they more or less spit on him.
