for disobeying God, Like we punish our kids, well I do let my son out of the corner eventually, will God let us out of our corner at some point in time? or is he more cruel that even that?

Hi! Christendom has falsely created a horrible doctrine about what hell is, tormenting people day and night goes against God's qualities, and one of them is love. Romans 6:23 says ''The wages sin pays is death.'' Because we sin, we die, thats our punishment.

Uncle thesis is correct, we have very badly misinterpreted the bible. Hell was not meaning anything about devils and fire or torment-It was a translation to mean under ground-where the caskets go.
There are many other mistranslations that people do not understand-feel free to google them yourself, and not take my word for it...find out the real word in its original language..and the meaning for the context it is given to you-and then read hiow we now translate it..it's just not the same..and I'd rather understand it in the original context jesus and the apostles and god meant us too.

The Bible tells us that hell is for eternity. You can't change that.
We all know that if we murder someone we will most likely go to jail for life, because that's the law. If someone disobeys the law and shoots & kills a clerk during a robbery, should their punishment be changed or shortened after-the-fact, just because they don't to be locked up for their life?

As far as I'm concern, God has been cruel enough to me on Earth by making me live under "King GW Bush" reign! and Arnold's Government, Brittney's, Parise's, Lindsay's, and Nicole's news.

Once in hell, you don't get out. The smart thing to do is accept Jesus while you have a chance. After you get saved, you will learn how much God truly loves you,.

God is EVERYTHING! You people don't understand this! He's there to comfort you, he loves you unconditionally more than you will EVER know! He protects you, cares for you, and is everything that is good. And all you people can do is throw him in the garbage! He says if you mock him, you will be punished. Watch out. When judgment day comes, there's no turning around Cindy.

Ezekiel 7:3-4
and I will send my anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways, and will recompense upon thee all thine abominations.
And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity: but I will recompense thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the mist of thee; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

God is Grace Us: Not Awful Lawful.
His Grace is merciful, not merciless.
His love is perfect, not fear hath torment.

It's worse than that---Hell is our eternal punishment for simply disbelieving in the deity of Jesus. I can't believe in the deity of Jesus no matter how hard I try.
