The Bible does not teach that if you are bad you will be tortured in some fiery hell. The Bible teaches that the price for sin is death, and that when a person dies, they simply no longer exist and have no consciousness or thought.
If someone was going to burn in a fiery torment, they would have to have some kind of consciousness in order to feel that pain, and yet the Bible, at Ecclesiastes 9:5 that "as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all." And also in Psalms 146:3,4 it says that when a person dies "His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground, in that day his thoughts do perish." - So right there, the Bible tells us the truth of what happens when someone dies. They can no longer think, feel, or do anything.
Not only that, but would you consider it a loving act on God's part to have someone tortured forever and ever? That would be like a father who disciplines a child by holding their hand on a hot stove because of what they did. That's just wrong, and it's also wrong to think that God would allow someone to burn in a fiery hellfire.
When the Bible book of Revelation talks about the "lake of fire", this is a symbolic lake because it talks about Death being hurled into it. Death isn't something tangible that can be picked up and tossed away. What the verse really means is that eventually nobody will ever die. The concept of and eventuality of death itself will be done away with forever.

Yes that is correct.
The lake of fire comes after you go to hell.
If you are around during the time that you must take the mark of the beast then there is a 90/10 chance that you will be going to hell.
All Christians that have been born again will have already been taken up from this earth and the unbelievers will have been left behind. Which means that for most of the people who are still here when it is time to take the mark, no one will be sharing the Word of God and so no one will repent and ask Jesus to be their personal saviour.

No, not really. the Bible says" All have sinned and fall short of tha Glory of God" the verse meant to humble you and not to attribute to yourself the good deeds you have done. It means you need help from God and you need a Saviour. We are able to do good things because God enables us, we are able to do bad things because we are human and that is our nature, However it should not be an alibi for doing so.
If there is eternal condemnation in unquencheable lake of fire where you will not die but tormented day and night, there is also eternal life in Heaven. God did warned Adam not to eat of the fruit, but he disobeyed. Same thing as today, He is warning us through the Bible. He warns us because He does not want us to be condemned.

You have assumed alot of things.
The only people who will go to hell are those who will not believe that God paid the price for ALL the sins of ALL mankind in order to make all persons into a NEW CREATION fit for heaven. The price for ALL sins has been PAID.
Its a FREE gift, but one that has to be received and believed...then God comes thru on His promise and makes you a member of His Body.
Hell is real. Everyone is born going there. You must make a conscious CHOICE somewhere in your lifetime to BELIEVE that God has paid the price you owed and wiped your slate clean.
There are only two kinds of people in the world. Those still IN ADAM, or those who have believed God and who are IN CHRIST.
Which one are YOU?

We are all sinners and will be until the day we die, the Bible says in Romans 3:23, for all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God. Flesh and Blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. Thats why Jesus said in John 3:3 that you must be born again. If you are not born again Spiritually then you sins are not covered under the blood of Jesus Christ and the lake of fire is where you are headed. When Jesus died on that Cross at Calvery He died to wash away our sins, only a perfect Sacrifice could cleanse sin that would enable us to go to Heaven. God is Holy, our sins separate us from God, our flesh and blood is as filthy rags the Bible says, it couldnot go to Heaven, but with the Perfect sheding of Jesus Blood we are given a chance to live in a paradise if we believe, Its all in the Bible if we just read it, Jesus came, died on a cross, arose the third day, and now has paid our sin debt, our ransom, and if we believe in Him and become a Born Again Christian we will spend an eternity with him in Heaven, the choice is yours, would you like to be Born Again?Would you confess to Jesus that you are a sinner in need of a Saviour, if you will just pray this sinners prayer, Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. Jesus will now send his Holy Spirit to come and live in your heart and guide you into all truth. If you made a decision for Christ or have any questions, Please send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

no i dont agree with that because God doesn't expect us to be perfect he knows were going to sin and make mistakes therefore the Bible actually says that its not good to sin but its ok God expects it, and the only way you are going to hell is if you dont believe in God and you dont accept him as Christ.
