It doesn't sound very loving or intelligent, does it?

Wow, okay well, at first hell did not exist. Lucifer, you know, the other name of the devil. Was Gods, if i must, first hand man. Well to make a long story shorts. Lucifer was bad, and mean real bad, and God casted him out of Heaven. Therefor, now we have Hell. Satan wanted a place to run. So from that point forward. God had basically said that if you turn your back on me, and do not see the error of your ways, then you go to hell.
He wants all His loved ppl to see the error of their ways and join Him in Heaven. But not all do. The devil does have his ways also. And some are more likely to see his ways over Gods. Its sad but it happens.

Smile! Your question is a great one! logical and evidently from someone capable of independent thought. It is also not hard to answer for those who reach beyond dogmas.
Because "Hell" is a human invention and does not exist. It really is. You are going to get 5000 answers telling you how the rejection of God's love justifies Hell. Malarky. Read up on the histories of many religions, sift out for yourself where God ends and the imperfection of human interpretation begins, and you will see what I mean.

God doesn't want that, but it's what they choose. There is a plan and he gave us our agency to choose, He wasn't going to force anyone to love Him. What good would that do. You decide for yourself. It just depends on what you want in this life and the next. Probably my biggest thing is how any one can believe that we are born, live a life and then die only to exist no more, I mean really why would that be and personally don't you think then that life would be pointless so why bother? There has to be more, it's just figuring out what it is and what you're willing to believe. No one can give you those answers, you have to find them for yourself. Because until you're ready again it's pointless. Can't draw blood from a shriveled up heart. It has to be open in order to feel or recieve any true answers to your questions.

You have set your face against God by stating you are a slave to 12 gods. You are a rebel and unless you accept God's loving plan to stay out of that terrible place you will go there.
If God let rebels into heaven it would not be heaven anymore.

We all have a choice-
Either chose to live for God and worship him or chose to be sent to the gates of hell.
Hell exists because there was an angel that believed to be more powerful than God. Lucifer was the angel's name. God discovered the plan of Lucifer's strongarming. God sent the angel to a pit of fire and brimstone to suffer and burn forever in pain, agony and misery!
God does not intend for his people to go there. God is guarding his beloved everyday. Some just do not care to take the WORD seriously and do not fear the almighty power he posesses.

God has made Hell a place for Satin and his followers to dwell and be tortured for eternity, God does not want anyone to go to Hell, but if you choose not to accept Jesus Christ our Savior then you will be sent to Hell for eternity. God sent His only Son to die for our sins, so that we can have everlasting life with Him, but we have to surrender all and give all glory to God and give our hearts to Him.

It's just to scare or threaten you into being good.
But you can be good on your own without all of that dramatic fire and brimstone, can't you?
Hell is a metaphor for the bad things or consequences for not following the rules of good behavior.
I was under the impression that all is forgiven by the invisible man in the sky- but you need to ask for it.

Because Christianity was created by men who wanted the world to revolve around them. They made up rules to control people with and said that their daddy god in the sky would punish them if they didn't live by them.

God is all loving,and Hell is terrible, it was created for satan and his followers, and if people wont to follow them all their lives then they will follow them there, God has no desire that any should parish, but we have our own free will. God is not the author of confusion.

god loves us enough to let each and every one of us to make our own choices. those that go to hell are those that have not asked for forgiveness or do not care. not as many people go to hell as u may think. u can lead a horse to water but u can't make him drink it. the main thing is make good choices and you won't have to worry about hell.
