The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
Hell was not made for us, it was made for the devil and his fallen angels.
God did not create us for hell. God created us to worship Him. We do have the chose to Worship God or not. If you are not following Jesus but the Devil, the Bible says "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels." (Matthew 25:41)

You are absolutely correct. God did not design us for hell, and He wants every one of us to be in Heaven. But, God gives us all FREE CHOICE on which master we serve, and where we end up. There are two that talk to us constantly, even if we arent aware of it. God and the devil are in a 24/7 365 day battle for our very souls. Thoughts dont come from nowhere or happenstance. Everything comes from one of those two sources. God calls us to Him and the devil tries to pull us away. That is that simple. We must choose God, or the devil is the master we serve, whether we know it or not.
Chose whom we serve Now and choose wisely.
The consequences of not choosing Jesus are misery on earth and hell and destruction to us and others around us.
Or we can choose Jesus and have the blessings of Heaven, and all that is there for us BEing able to sit with Jesus and worship Him face to face. doesnt get any better than that, and God tells us there is no sickness there, no sorrow, or pain, no more tears.... Only joy everlasting with God.
Choose soon ppl and choose Jesus. He is the only way to go. Jesus saves, heals and delivers, and there is no other way to enter that Kingdom of God, but thru Jesus Chrsit.
He sacrificed everything for us.. what more do ppl want? YEt there is much more. Claim it as yours today, by claiming Jesus as your personal saviour. HE is calling us all to repentence, righeous living, holiness.......
Choose soon and choose wisely.

Yes! The God pf the old testament (the jealous one) seemed to enjoy meanness. He drowned the whole earth (save Noah et al), he turned whats her name into a pillar of salt for no good reason, Destroyed every man woman and child and fetus in Sodom and Gommorra (no saving there). Helped Moses and friends finish off a tribe that worshipped the Golden Calf after giving Moses the ten commandments and so it goes and goes.

God does not want anyone to go to Hell, but he can't change our choices for us. In my faith, we believe that it is extremely difficult to for someone to be banished to Hell and most people on the Earth will receive some degree of glory.
Other people have differing opinions on this topic believing that baptism and faith in their church is required to be save. But I think there are a lot of good people out there who many not have the full truth, but are trying their best. God is a God of mercy and will not punish us for something we cannot do anything about.

God doesn't no. Neither does Jesus. Now Christians? Yeah they seem to be pretty keen on seeing people go to Hell.

It's pretty silly to think that a truly loving God would create a Hell. "love me or spend eternity in agony!" That's not love, that's coercion.

If your god does not personally ask me to follow him, and following him is the only way to avoid hell, then YES, that's exactly what he wants.
What a terrible god!

God doesn't exist, nor does Hell. So it would be impossible for God to want me to go to Hell.

no he doesn't. that's why he gives you plenty of chances to turn away from sin. he leaves the choice to you. in the end..whether you CHOOSE God or not...it will be because YOU chose to have eternity with God or eternity in hell.

No he doesn't that is why he sent his Son Jesus to die on the cross so that all of us can if we choose go to heaven!
