Life is not great for most people anyway, and none of us asked to be here. Why therefore does god or any other higher being feel they have the right to punish us after we die. Given the choice of a life of not sinning or eternal hell will ensue and no life at all I would choose no life at all, who's with me?

I agree that this is completely unfair and that is why I can't believe in hell. The part that really upsets me is that people will claim that God loves us like a father and yet he will send us to hell to suffer for an eternity. I am a mother and I can honestly say that there is nothing that my son could do that would cause me to punish him in that manner. I have trouble raising my voice to him. To top it off one of the things that I am told will result in ending up in hell is to not believe or worship God. Can you imagine punishing one of your children with a life of torture, torment and un ending agony for something so small? I can't imagine how anyone could wish such a fate on anyone, to have never ending suffering, unless they are the worst of people.(Hitler) I can't see how someone who lived a moral life but didn't believe in God deserves to receive the same punishment that these EVIL men and women.
The other problem I have is that I could not enjoy Heaven knowing that someone I love is suffering in hell. How is that Heaven?

The point is that supposedly you have the option. It's not just go to hell, or no life at all that you're taling about.
It's life without sin/life with sin and asking for forgiveness (the only realistic option, except with or without the repentance bit) OR hell OR no life.
The big catch and what stops me from agreeing with you is that, according to what you are saying, there is a God, and there is a hell. And presumably a heaven. But if there isa heaven, you're given the CHOICe. and that choice is what makes the life worth living.

If the purpose of a business business enterprise is perfection, then coming close nevertheless falls in need of the purpose. If our tainted sinful spirit is located next to God's Holy presence it would wreck us plenty a similar way gentle and shadow can not the two be modern-day in a similar spot. If something might desire to be thoroughly completely white, or mushy or (insert adjective right here), then something that falls short isn't perfect. that's this good judgment it quite is in play. The good judgment the question proposes is that guy knows greater perfect than God. That guy can place demands on how God thinks and has located the workings of the universe. God places those demands on perfects in view that's what he's. We have been initially perfect, able to harmonious relationship with Him. We made a call, humanity made a option to insurrection against God and now we whinge for we've inherited. Is it honest? To maximum people who hate the assumption of God, specific its unfair. To very a lot of persons who understand God, that's honest. that's our well worth for our rebelion, for our sin. it quite is the reason the sacrifice of Jesus became right into a message of affection and charm to all of mankind.

My belief is because He gave His only begotten Son to be delivered into torture and more hardship than we can imagine just so we can go to Heaven. So, when we turn our back On Christ and decide his sacrifice was in vain, then God can see our sins and we go to Hell. When you get saved, and sin, the Blood of Jesus intervenes between your sin and God and you are forgiven and God doesn't see your sin. I know it is hard to understand, you have to have the Faith and belief of a true Christian to really experience it. Thanks for the question and have a great day.

God does not send us to Hell. We have free will and we choose our own paths in life. The very fact that you are asking this question tells me that you do know right from wrong. Choose right. Go to heaven, Simple.

Actually, hell is simply another word meaning the grave. When you die you simply are asleep and decay. God will remember to resurrect you on judgment day. If you are one who has accepted Him and follow Him, you will get to live with Him forever. If you are one who has not accepted Him and refuse to acknowledge Him as your Creator, then you will return to not being alive. Your corpse will be returned to fertilize the earth. No one has a separate consciousness outside of the living body.

I personally don't believe God is a punishable God. I fell we tend to make our own choices when it comes to that, with certain things. Such as when we pass, God isn't stupid and knows when someone is telling the truth or not. God knows when we truly mean we forgive or believe, etc.
God always allows people to come forth before him, some lie, yes...but God knows who is telling the truth.
We tend to make our own hell anyways.

God sends no one to hell. Anyone who goes there, effectively goes there by choice.
An inmate serving a life sentence for murder was not sent to prison by the judge. In effect, he was sent there by himself, because he chose to commit a crime that carries a lifetime prison sentence.
It works the same way with hell. Anyone who goes there, goes there by deliberately and completely rejecting God.

God doesn't send nobody to hell, you send yourself by rejecting Jesus .God made provision for all of us to go to heaven, but most of us refuse .
If you refuse to wear a parachute, when jumping out of an airplane, then you have to pay the consequence, it is the same with salvation. You refuse the Savior and you will go to hell. God doesn't force you to anything.

He doesn't send you to hell for your sins.
YOU make the choice to accept God or not.
You choose to kill, steal, rape, commit crimes, etc.
You might not have asked to be here, but your parents wanted you.
No way am I with you. I love God and am thankful He sent Jesus.
I'm going to Heaven.
Why would you want to leave this earth and commit suicide? Your parents and friends who love you would be devastated! God loves you. You are here for a reason, friend.
You can make a difference in someone's life.
