You are laboring under the mis-conception that hell is a place of burning fire.
Not true.
That is a lie put out by christendom.
Christendom is the absolute worst representative of Christianity.
Christianity does not teach hell-fire.
It teaches that death is simply non-existence.
Christendom has lied to us for centuries to keep dominance over the people.

Think of it this way....God intends to have man live upon the earth in a NEW Eden where the rivers that flow through the world will be of the Holy Spirit and all there will walk with God every moment of their lives.....a place where EVIL of ANY kind does NOT exist...like Heaven...
Should God let lepers into the colony to foul up the works again? For satan to "die" here on earth, it means that there cannot be anyone hiding him within their person...God will not make THAT mistake

The scriptures say: God made "Hell" for the Devil and His Demons, But By Our Own choice, we send our selves there by Not Accepting Jesus As Savior Of the World. >>He Loves Us so much........He paid a HUGH Price our Victory. It cost Us Nothing. Only Believe.

That is all imagery. What problem would a Lake of Fire be to a disembodied soul or a resurrected immortal body? Hell underlines God's respect for our free will.God will not force us to come to Him. Hell will be filled with volunteers. If there is no accountability in the afterlife,God would not be a God of either mercy or justice. Jesus, I throw myself upon your Grace and Mercy!

1. We didn't make this rule up; God did. Aren't there laws that you don't like but you follow anyways because you know that you don't want to face the consequences?
2. It's not the sin that condemns you; it's the fact that you turned against God and did not accept Jesus Christ as your savior. Jesus said that the only way to get to Heaven is through Him. Purposely choosing to go in another direction spiritually isn't going to win you any brownie points with The Almighty.

God has never sent one person to hell. Men send themselves by the choices that they make. Quit questioning whether or not it is fair and start living the life that ensures you don't wind up there.

Good question.
The prodigal son walked home after living a wild life and he was greeted with open arms and a celebration. So I think the problem you mention may not be a real one. It depends on interpretation I guess.

Oh, there are many- serial murder, parents physically, mentally and sexually abusing children, paedophilia, rape and especially of younger girls, Nazi war crimes etc. I may not be a Christian but I'm not a bleeding heart liberal pussy either.

Hell is the absence of God forever and ever. Its a choice man made by his way of living here on earth....he choice to turn his back on God. God gives enough time here on earth to surrender your life to Him, trust me its the best choice one can ever make.

GOD never created hell for human beings.like i read human beings are like an uninvited guest in hell.
Matthew 25:41[kjv]Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
GOD doesnt want anyone to go there.
2 Peter 3:9[kjv]The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
GOD already made a way for everyone one not to go to hell.
John 3:15[kjv]That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
so where does it say GOD is sending someone to hell on his own and punishing them for eternity?
but u must understand that GOD gave everyone a free will.
on one side there is life eternal and other side there is eternal punishment and every human has a choice.
Deuteronomy 30[kjv]
15See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
16In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
17But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
18I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
19I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
JESUS loves you.Have u recieved JESUS for the forgiveness of your sins?
John 3:16[kjv] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
so when we believe in JESUS we have eternal life.JESUS lived a sinless life and gave up his life as a sacrifice so we can be sin free. Ask JESUS to come into your heart and forgive ur sins and cleanse ur past with the blood JESUS shed on the cross.
With a simple prayer like above u can be saved.JESUS loves u and wants u to be saved.
