Even though he created us and knew from the beginning how we would turn out. On the other hand, he set up this whole system of eternal torment in the first place, then allowed thousands of religions to spring up, punishing people who choose the wrong one.
Is that how it works? If you live a moral life but aren't 100% perfect, you deserve eternal torture because you didnt BELIEVE the right way.

There was only one perfect person.
God doesn't require us to be perfect.
If that were the case, no one would make it.
He just wants us to do our best to follow Him.
There are a few simple , easy rules.
Hear the Word
Believe the Word
Admit that you sin
Repent of those sins
Be Baptized
Live a faithful life

I had 4 daughters and believe me I didn't know how they will turn out. I taught them the right way and everything but do they listen? Sometimes. I agree with you Jehovah should not had gave us free will. When I hear some of the stuff on this computer and see this world I wish we were robots to. Hell is the common grave not a place you go be tortured. Jesus went to hell. Seek Proverbs 4:2

God would never send you to hell. We were condemned to hell ,God made a way out. God sent his Son(Jesus) to pay the price for our sins, but you have to believe. Jesus said,"deny your self, pick up your cross and follow me."Mark 8:24. Pick up your cross simply means receive salvation(believe with all your heart) accept the fact that Jesus died for your sins, Deny yourself, that is the tough one , simply means you cant live the way You want and get the results that You desire.Your flesh(body) is against you, you must overcome your carnal desires. Follow me is simply live Christ like. Love one another, not WWJD but DWJD,do what Jesus did, which was showed love.
p.s . Hell want created for US,but for satan and his fallen angels. Read your Bible don't let people fill you full of junk. This is your eternal life on the line invest the time to find out for yourself. If you don't have a bible e-mail me .

Our sins sends us to hell , God will only judge us . Ignorance of the law is no excuse , that is why God gave us the bible .And through his infinite mercy he gave us his son. That whosoever shall believe in him shall not perish but have eternal life .

I don't know who said it but i believe this to be true. Hell is other people. I think the concept of hell was created to try to control the minds and actions of the people of earth.As in,do as i say or else.SM.

on a side note, I love how god says being gay is wrong, but then there are plenty of cases where priests, who are servants of god (or something like that), molest little boys. like hello, that sounds gay. so apparently god likes to surround himself with the very people he hates. f ing hypocrite. so i guess all child molesters go to heaven after a few hail marys and a little repentance.

No this is not how it is, Read Ephesians 4:12 FOR THE PERFECTING of the saints-------- Who says at the end of our life we can't be perfect in God's eyes. Now you say God allows all these others religions to pop up, Friend God did not bring up all these other religions, Satan did that by trying to confuss people's mind.

How can that be when he sent Jesus to forgive us for our sins?
Blasphemy is the worst, but still your forgiven under the rule of death from Jesus.
So with that in mind if you believe in Jesus that he died on the cross for your sins you are forgiven and will go to heaven.
You will be judged by your works.
Now the sad side of things is that until you die and there is no gurantee how you will die be it by fire, drowning, car accident, broken neck, heart attack...ect
We must take care of ourselves in every manner, but we are not immune from the ways of death, but we're sanctified in the way of life.
The world has been here for millions of years.
Think about that for a moment.
Civilization started not long ago into full bloom as early as 1900's
Why did it take so long?
We've been here for a million years.
Did it take a Man a million years to figure things out?
The answer to that is yes it did take Man a million years to figure things out because he was not civilized and developed enough to understand.
He started to get smart and build things, but the greatest portion would come in the 1900's and that was not long ago.
So what did Man do on this earth for a million years without , fire?
Why did it take God so long to send Jesus?
The answer to your question and to answer the questions that hovers over everybody's mind is the exhistance of the Holy Spirit.
This is my rule of thumb.
Every single creature on earth is the very exhistance of life changed through the cycle of life. The only difference is that humans are gaining speed faster than animals that are not mammals. We are the dominion over all things on earth.
So why should we not dominate the earth?
Now Man will War against each other to fight to rule this earth completely and that is the power of what?
Think about what I just said. Man will war against each other to rule the earth so that he can become one kind. and kill off everything else and the my best guess is that the race is on and all country's with Nuclear war heads are the ready for battle.
Keep in mind the peace versus religion is diddle beans compared to power versus unity.
Under one nation is unity under God the only problem with that is Man doesn't understand that so he fights becasue of the material things of this world and chooses not to pursue the spiritual things of this world and that is why God sent Jesus to us to save us from hell that awaits the very exhistance of this earth.
Basically, the earth will burned up and when this happens all life physically will die, but spiritually we will live and start all over again and the new world will be one of many beautys because this time God has figured it all out.
If you get lucky you might just get to see a spirit visit you after death. It's most beautiful, but I caution you that you must be strong to understand this or wyou will forver be ruined for life and end up on the thrid floor for the insane.
Amen

It kinda sounds like god has an identity problem. And control issues. He needs that constant feedback and power to feel legitimate.
Worthy of worship? Not under those conditions.
