why did God create people only to send them to hell if they don't believe He exist?

Question

I'm having a difficult time understanding that concept and the people who worship such a god.

Answer 1

Because he's a bad person who you wouldn't want to hang out with. Either that or the minutia/doctrine you're mentioning is false and manmade.

Answer 2

In The Bible it states that God is "Love" and he "gives us free will". We are not perfect and he understands that.(This doesnt mean we can keep making the same mistakes and keep praying for forgiveness. You have to be truely humbled and sorry for forgiveness.)
In saying that The Bible also Describes "Hell" as "The Grave" He Says "From Dust To Dust" So when you die you return to the ground in which you came from. It also states that "The Dead are Conscience of Nothing" If that is true, then how can you experience hell?
Being as God is a "Just" God who is fair in the most perfect definition, ask yourself...
Why on earth, would God Sentence you to an ETERNITY of hell for a LIFETIME of sins?
Dont worry I know that there is no such thing as a firey grave that you are damned to for eternity. I was once taught that to but now I am sure there isnt, after a little research and my bible.

Answer 3

You're having a difficult time with the concept, because your soul sounds are screaming "No, it's not like that!!!" And they are quite correct...

There is no place in Creation more negative than this planet Earth...right here, right now...I guess, from a warrior stand-point, a "hell" of sorts...quite the opposite of Home.

This is hard for many to grasp, because of such wayward teachings & misguided interpretations to date, but the truth is that we are not humans having a spiritual experience--we are spirits having a human experience. "God" provides for the journey with free-will choice, creative ability, & unconditional love (the guaranteed return ticket Home)...He truly cares not what you planned or what you do with those gifts...He reaps of the experiences of your lifetime--every tear, every hug, every moment...as we accomplish for ourselves, it fills His plate, so to speak. You cannot "fail" a lifetime--even if you end it on your own--you will simply return immediately to do it all again (this is the closest thing to a "hell" that our spirit Self knows)...anyway, the only place to go after these adventures are completed, is Home ("heaven")...we are part & parcel of the Everything--the Whole...pure energy essences.

You see, to enlighten Self to this understanding makes you both very responsible for Self & others, and promotes personal power, which would rock the socks off of much dogma...it's nearly impossible to control masses of such ability. Fear disables--ergo, devil & hell & all non-sense...Love enables--it is our creative force...See???

Now YOU know a little more...keep seeking...and Good Journey!!!

This question raises many issues. If God is all loving, why would He send people to hell? What is hell? Is it a place of eternal torment? Why create creatures knowing they will end up in an eternity of damnation? Is God helpless to save them all?
Often times, skeptics try and present an idea so that fairness and compassion necessitate that the Christian God cannot be real. For example, they sometimes say that a truly loving God would not create people He knew would go to eternal punishment. Of course this is only an opinion, but it is sometime raised nonetheless. As one skeptic put it, "If God truly loves us (this sacrificial love you talk about) then he would simply say 'I do not want the child to be born'. He is in control and has that ability doesn't he? As I would not wish any of my children who I love to go through a life of agonizing pain." The main problem with such an approach is that it is overly simplistic and based on emotionalism, not scripture. So, let's look at what the Word of God says.
First of all, when God made Adam, He made him good. Adam had the freedom to choose to obey or disobey God. Adam is the one who rebelled. God did not make him rebel and God is not responsible for Adam's rebellion. It would be like a parent having a child knowing that the child would eventually disobey the parent. Does this means that the parent is responsible for the child's rebellion when it occurs because the parent knew it would happen? Of course not. Furthermore, if the parent has more children, does he/she not know that some children may very well turn out good and others bad? Should the parents then not have children because some of them might turn out bad? The skeptic, if he is consistent, would urge parents not to have any children at all lest some of them turn out bad.
But the skeptic might say, "But God knows for a fact who will be bad and good. Why allow the people going to hell to be born in the first place?" But, if this is the case and if God arranged it that no "bad" people were born, then we would all go to hell. You see, Jesus is the only way to be forgiven of our sins. His sacrifice on the cross was necessary in order to make it possible for us to be saved because everyone, "good" and "bad" has sinned. If there were no "bad" people born, then there wouldn't be any "bad" people around who would have sent Jesus to the cross. If that never happened, then we wouldn't be saved from our sins because Jesus would never have been unjustly condemned and His sacrifice would never have happened.
Second, if someone says that it is wrong for God to allow someone to be born who will go to hell, then would he rather have God remove our freedom to rebel against Him so that no one can be blamed for sin? If the critic says he only want those people born who go to heaven, then how are they truly free and how would that fulfill the ultimate plan of God to sacrifice His Son for the redemption of mankind?
Third, God could have reasons for sending people to hell that we cannot understand.
Fourth, God is just and always does what is right. Therefore, sending people to hell is the right thing to do, especially when we understand that God is eternally holy and those who sin against God incur an infinite offense because the infinite God is the one who is offended.
Finally, the Bible simply tells us that people will go to hell. They go there because they are not covered by the sacrifice of Christ. Whether or not they are created or not does not effect the fact that sinners must be punished; otherwise, the holiness and righteousness of God mean nothing.

Answer 5

I don't know HOW many times I've answered this question already. I really have lost count. But hopefully, this time you'll pay attention!

Now, if you're just looking for a pat on the back at how well you did in tearing down that straw man you built, you can quit reading right now.

If, however, you really want an answer, then keep reading.

It's on YOUR shoulders now!

First, God did NOT create people for hell. God created people for heaven.

Hell was set up for the devil and his followers.

People go to hell for breaking God's Laws (have you ever told a lie? Have you ever taken anything that's not rightfully yours to take? have you ever looked at another person with sexual desire (that's the same as adultery from God's perspective)? have you ever been angry at someone? (that's the same as murder from God's perspective)?

So, if you ARE a lying, thieving, adulterous murderer, what makes you think you can go to heaven and corrupt it the way you've corrupted earth? God will NOT tolerate sin and allow it to go unpunished.

Now, if you WANT, God can actually forgive you. That's why He came to earth as Jesus Christ, the Son of God, to pay the penalty for YOUR sins (crimes against God).

If a person will admit they have broken God's Laws, and repent and start living God's way, then He can actually forgive and redeem us from sin and it's eternal consequences.

Really, the choice is yours - continue in your sin and receive the due punishment, or repent and put your faith in Jesus and receive an unmerited pardon.

But whatEVER you do, don't go blaming God for YOUR rebellion!

Now, if you've read all the way, you'll understand that God isn't sending ANY body to hell. In fact, He says in His Word that He does NOT take pleasure in the death of the wicked, and that He doesn't want ANY body to perish in hell forever, but that ALL would come to repentance. He cried out, "Please, choose Life, that you may live!" (Jesus said "I am Life!")

Answer 6

why i dont follow religion. lots of condradictions. Apparently, you have to keep holy the sabbath, and by not believeing you dont keep it holy. Then again we are all created in God's image, so that means some of us got his "Sceptic" side, which means we are still accepted, then again some of us got his "Murderous" side. It makes no sense does it? Thats like this problem; A serial murderer can be on death row, pray for figvness and be sincer about it and go to heaven, although he killed thirty people. But an atheist who has never done anything wrong, never hurt nobody in his life is condemned to hell. Condradictions, love em...

Answer 7

The Heavenly Father did not create people only to send to hell. That is not the point. He created man to have dominion over all things. That is really the Father's plan for us. Can you still remember the story of Adam and Eve, the first inhabitors on earth?

He created the light, moon, foul of the sea, every living creature, the universe, nature and everything from the first day to the sixth day of creation story. He created this first as a GIFT for his masterpiece, YOU.

The bible says that he created Adam and Eve to reign as King and Queen and to have dominion over all things. He created them because He wants to live in them. He can not live on gold,tree or on monument. He wants to live inside in you. Man is His house, His temple. You are His temple. He wants to live inside of you. That is the reason why.

Unfortunately, because of our parent's disobedience by disobeying the command of not to eat the forbidden fruit, the spirit of the serpent called the serpent seed entered inside Adam and Eve instead of the Father's spirit. That is when the curse started. That is the reason why people suffer and feel pain among the many things.

To eradicate the curse, People have to "REPENT" and surrender to His will and promise not do our own will but His will be done. The bible tells us this. In every action and decision we make, we have to ask ourselves, "Is this the will of the Father for me?" Be true to yourself.

That is the reason why people who believe, followed obediently and faithfully followed the Father's word are serving Him with gladness. You see life is so beautiful.

Money, friends and family can you give happiness but it is only fleeting. The true meaning of happiness and fulfillment can only be satisfied through serving and following obediently the Father through His Appointed Son.

The worldly things that the world is offering like discos, lust, lawlessness among others are only deception. They can not save you. The physical world will only tear you down. The physical world is not a sweet place to live. Man is bound for something eternal.

Our life is only passing. our souls are for eternal. We will be judged according to our works. The lake of fire is very painfull and it is true. Heaven is also true. We will be enjoying only heaven or hell depending on our works. My friend, we have to work out our salvation.

Answer 8

The purpose of life is to love and serve God.
The Book of Revelations tells us that outside of Paradise are wizards, pimps, those who love and maketh a lie, fornicators, and dogs....not canine dogs, but meaning godless people.
Athiests are godless. They are the dogs referred to in Revelations.

Answer 9

Because we were created with Free Will. When we use it in a way that he does not like, it pisses him off and he smites those who chose to exercise a gift. Kinda ironic, huh?

Answer 10

Hell is a moral I don't really think there is a hell, it is only an urban myth, if you will that has become widespread overtime in order to keep people in order becasue, sinners are forgiven no matter what so if people are forgiven how willt hey be disciplined by going to hell?

Answer 11

Not everyone believes that hell is an actual place. I believe it is a state of mind. That is how I reconcile the question. But it is a tough one.
