What exactly do you believe in Jesus Christ for? What does He save you from? If you are Lutheran, weren't you taught that Christ saves you from sin, death & the power of the devil?
1. First & foremost, God casts Satan & his demons into hell (2 Peter 2:4). Jesus also descended into hell (1 Peter 3:18-19) to declare victory over them (Col. 2:15). Then He casts those who reject His grace (i.e. the righteousness that comes from belief in Jesus Christ as the only righteous God-Man, who lived the perfect life on our behalf, took upon Himself our sins & died on the Cross to conquer sin, death & the power of the devil forevermore) into hell (Matt.10:28; narrative Luke 16:19-31).
2. Yes. (Matt.25:41; Is.66:24)
3. He takes no pleasure in sending humans there, but in order to save believers from sin, death & Satan, it's kind of necessary to separate them from those entities. It's not His fault that some people resist His Holy Spirit (who would lead them to salvation in Christ alone) & insist on clinging to their "right" to sin.
4. http://www.lcms.org/pages/internal.asp?NavID=2631. Please read your Bible. Review your Luther's Small Catechism. Also ask your pastor. He will be able to answer you in a more personal way than any of us on Y!A can.

First of all, God doesent want anyone to go to hell. Its a place reserved for those who openly defy God & will not say he or she is a sinner. Thats why Jesus died on the cross for us!Thats why He died & desended into hell to take away the keys from the devil. Thats the clear choice he gave us> Why did he do that for us? Because he loved all of us that he didnt want to see one, no, not even one go to that awful place called hell. Its an all etertinity place, You cant go back. You go there because you didnt obey the words of God &man. You had your chance when that annoying man or women wittnessed to you when you were in a hurry that one day. You didnt want to listen, You were inconvenienced. You had many other times when God placed his army around you to tell you about his love, but you were to busy to listen. But now is the appointed time. Now more than ever, listen to what God is saying thru man. Dont end up in hell !Oh, yes, i am not an expert. Just someone who took God up on his offer of eternal life 36 years ago!

Well, i do think that it is not sensible to mention "hell" in so much occasions..AND ALL people Americans don't do it. Its very generalizing. I am American and we don't seem to be ALL approximately John Wayne. That used to be decades in the past and no longer on this iteration. We don't all trip horses and shoot bow and arrow. That is an ancient stereo style of Americans. Its style of claiming all Brits have dangerous tooth..NOT all Brits have dangerous tooth.. I consider a small populace does..however no longer ALL.

Who Goes to hell? Anyone that sins, and doesn't accept Jesus's blood as the payment for their sins.
yes they are there for eternity
God has people go to hell, because he can not have sin in his presence, so they can not stay with him. Since they chose not to accept him as their master, he sends them to their master to serve him. Their master is the Devil, who will be in hell.
My only other comment is that going to heaven is easy. All you have to do is accept Jesus Christ as your savior. Once you do this, it is over you will not go to hell. If you live a life and continue to sin, God will reprimand you, you may loose your health, money etc. You can also loose treasures in heaven, but you will never go to hell.

Hell=Grave
Jonah 2:2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, [and] thou heardest my voice.
Jonah was inside the belly of a great fish..he called it Hell....get the picture?

Hell does not exist. It was created to control primitive people.

Hell is a literary device. It is meant to scare you out of asking questions and into submission.
