Does God send people to hell? ( part 2)?

Question

I don't think God would send a 10 year old or a 11 year old to hell either. Lets go up more. 12 13 14 problile not kinda young 15 16 17 well almost an adult but I mean what age do you have to be what line do you have to cross to go to hell. Now dont get mad I understand you send yourselfs to hell by doing wrong I get that 100% but still why would God let you go there. God is so above everything out of time and space way above haterd and war you would think he'd just let you come in heaven when people say God will send you to hell its like there saying God doesnt have a choice or something I mean he made everything though. . He is all love and forgivness and I know if someone doesnt even want forgivness you would think God would just be w/e on it. I know like if you if you killed someone he thinks its horrible but why would he send you to hell and put himself through that sarrow for you it doesnt make sence at all. Please can someone clear this up.

ok and if your an atheist read my question it doesn't say "are you an atheist"? or "what God or God you dont belive in"

Answer 1

There are no gods worthy of being called 'God' who would endlessly torture anyone for any reason.

Answer 2

See my answer to your previous question.

I believe that our Father loves all of us, unconditionally -- and that the fact that Jesus did not come to ALL places and ALL times indicates that honoring Jesus is not a prerequisite for salvation (otherwise I think God would have been better at getting out the memo). I believe that all people are saved, period, because the love of our Father is that great. I believe that the idea of Hell was made up for various reasons, but that none of them have much to do with God.

(Think about it. The whole idea of "Hell" is like the idea of blasting a child with a flamethrower for taking a cookie or making some other mistake. It's overkill. What could a human being possibly do that would be worth an ETERNITY of suffering, especially in the eyes of a truly loving God?)

I believe that if there is an afterlife, when we are admitted into the presence of God the "sins" and hatred of our lives fall away and we know what love truly is. And no, I am not a Christian, but I am putting it into terms that a Christian would understand.

Answer 3

Well, first of all, I don't believe that the "age of accountability" is a certain age. I think that it differs for everyone. But I think it is whenever someone understands the concept of sin and redemption, which is often around 4-7 years old, but can vary.
As for God allowing people to go to hell...well, to start with, think back to Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. There they lived in perfect communion and harmony with God. But when they sinned, they were separated from God, although they were still his children. It was then that God instituted animal sacrifice to pay for the price of sins. God also said that the penalty for sin would be physical death; everyone dies. When Jesus died for our sins, he paid the price for us. He, the perfect one, took our guilt and shame upon Himself. If people accept the fact that He paid the price for our sins, the we will go to Heaven.
You mentioned that God is above everything, but that's not true. First of all, Jesus (who is God-this is the trinity doctrine) came to earth and experienced pain, joy, temptation, hardship, etc., just like we face. Also, the Bible says that God is very involved in our lives. It says that He even knows how many hairs are on our head! He has a specific plan and purpose for each of our lives. He loves us with an all-surpassing everlasting love.
Finally, you asked why would God send you to hell for killing someone. Well, God doesn't send people to hell for the specific sins they commit. He sends them to hell because they reject His offer of salvation. No matter what you've done, He will still forgive you.
I hope this helps! Just remember, God loves you and doesn't want anyone to go to hell.

Answer 4

There is an age of accountability and each individual's maturing is different. You could say that there are some who never reach that age do to mental disabilities.

God doesn't want us to go to hell. But dont forget that we have all been given the gift of free will. The will to believe or not to believe. The will to accept what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross or not to accept. Believe it or not, man has the power over his will to go to hell or not go to hell. Man sends himself by that will. God doesn't. People say that its all nonsence. Superstition or just another religion. But they wont take upon themselves to check it out.

Psalms 34:8

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

You need to taste and see. Dont be afraid to be seen with a bible for a little while. It wont turn you into one of those wierd televangelists that you see on TV. If you are sincere and want the truth which I feel that you do, God will bless you and show you the truth. Whats wrong with that? Knowing the truth and going to heaven is what joy is all about. And being blessed by the All Mighty aint too shabby either. Dont wait untill later. Later may never come. You may never have the chance again. You may not be alive tomorrow and then what. I'm not trying to scare you into being a christian. But I am trying to tell you to check it out while you still can. Many say; What if its not true. (Of coarce it is though) But what if it is true and you dont accept Christ??? You could say by your own free will that you stand condemed by yourself having had the chance to at least check it out. To taste and see. But threw it all away. That is what would truly sorrow the Lord. Because someone who He truely loved so much and gave them free will because of that love, and sacrificed his life as the son of God for you to save you from hell and then be refused. Being refused doesnt' sorrow Him. It is by your own free will condemming yourself by refusing Him that sorrows Him so much.

John 3:16

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.

Answer 5

I dont think their is an age, god will not send a child to hell...however, everyone gets a choice, people choose to go to hell, god doesnt send them. As for the age, i think when a kid matures and understands, i think god probably judges a teen or kid by how much they know and understand. God gives us a choice, he gave us a free will, he didnt make robots. We choose to love and follow him, we choose to turn agianst him. Would you force someone to love you? God will never force anyone to love him, he wants you to love him, but he lets you make the decision. I know your confused, i used to be too, but gods ways are not our ways. He is a just and righteous god. WOuld you like it if a murderor was set free? no it would be unjust. God is willing to forgive sins if you only repent and make him your lord and savior. It doesnt matter wat sin you did, he will forgive them all. By reading the bible, you learn about god and his personality. Remember god isn't a teddy bear, he is the creater of all. He is our God, our King, and Savior

Answer 6

Lets get this straight, I Keep saying this. Hell is only the grave, every one goes there when they die, there they sleep til Jesus returns; Jesus went there when He died, and there days and three night, he was raisin by God. All sinner that don't repent of their sins will go to Hades( the ever lasting fire) and will die. (The wages of sin is death). God has put it in your heart, you know when you sin, Repent; God knows the fresh is weak, that's why, when you except Him, He will sent you a comforter, that will give you strength to over come and be strong. The Has no number of the times , He will forgive you.

Answer 7

the “age of accountability” is a belief that God saves all those who die before reaching the ability to make a decision for or against Christ. thirteen is the most common number given for the age of accountability based on the jewish custom that a child becomes an adult at the age of 13. however, the bible gives no direct support to the age of 13 always being the age of accountability. it likely varies from child to child. a child has passed the age of accountability once he or she is capable of making a faith decision for or against Christ.

knowing the love and grace of God, God applying Christ’s death to those who cannot believe would seem consistent with his character. i think God applies Christ's payment for sin to young children, since they were not capable of understanding their sinful state and their need for the savior. of this i'm certain, that God is loving, holy, merciful, just, and gracious. whatever he does, it is always right and good.

Answer 8

Hell is not eternal. There is punishment for sin, but it does not last forever.
I hope this link will help clear things up. You seem to understand the true nature of the love of God. I think you would love to hear the truth.

Answer 9

well, the Bible god does. according to the Bible the Bible god knows in advance of creating a soul whether that soul will be blessed or condemned. and he has created an eternal torture chamber knowing that he'll be employing it.
since this Bible god is all knowing and everything he knows will happen must happen, it's all predestined so there can be no free will involved. he, in essence, creates a soul for the purpose of torturing it forever or you're a lucky "chosen one" he's created to be rewarded with heaven. it's all a done deal according to the Bible.

oh right! almost forgot. faith in Jesus is required to be saved from the tortures of hell and only the Bible god can bestow the gift of faith. if he has created you not to be thus gifted with faith ... you go to hell for failing to believe in Jesus.

PS. kind of convoluted mind __ck, ain't it?

Answer 10

I am sorry not everyone here believes in God. I do but we have a lot of atheists in these forums. I don't know why Allah sends people to hell if he is to forgive all our sins. We are humans we are bound to make sins.

Answer 11

Depends on your definition of hell. In the Bible Jesus was in hell. Hell is to be dead. Dead is dead. God did not create people to watch them fail so they-we can burn in "hell-fire for eternity". God is a loving God. I do not believe in that kind of hell if that is what you refer to. I believe myself hell is to be without God. If I were burning in hell and can think God I am not in hell! People that say they do not believe in God I do not believe that either. They believe in something. To have fellowship with one another is a part of God's character we all have! God is a loving God!
