....in the good old days didn't He let all His mocking, insincere, unfaithful, disobedient, rebellious children live with Him in Heaven???
Then didn't He get tired of their BS - how they were ruining Heaven for everyone else - and He told them to get the Hell out of there?
Is this really what happens? God sends the disobedient to Hell to keep them from spoiling Heaven for everyone else?

He doesn't send them. They choose it by turning from Him.
It's kind of like if you had your own child. You taught him his whole life to stay away from drugs. When he goes out on his own, you notice that he's hanging out with the wrong crowd and you tell him to stay away from drugs. You would love to be able to keep him safe, but you recognize that he has his own free will. So then let's say he chooses a life of drugs even after all the love you gave him. He becomes an addict. He has a miserable life but chooses to stay there because he resents your guidelines for his life and wants to make his own decisions and live his way.
Did he choose this hell for himself? Or did you send him into this horrible life? If he came back to you and wanted help and wanted to give up the drugs, would you welcome him with open arms?
Such is God, but even more merciful and wonderful of a parent than we could ever dream of being. But He does give us our free will, and it is our choice to love Him or not.

He doesn't send his disobedient, rebellious children to hell, he invites his obedient children to share eternal life with him.
...and where does everyone get the idea that hell is eternal? Perhaps it is, but we don't know that. Didn't the last book in the bible say that when the time comes, God will throw "death and hades" into the "lake of fire"? That doesn't sound like he plans them to be around forever...just until their purpose is served and then he will destroy them forever!
Yes, again I object to the idea that God sends them to hell, but I do believe he is very particular about who he will allow to live with him in eternity. Prove yourself worthy or be destroyed as useless. God has something in mind for his creation and only those who prove that they can contribute to his purpose will have a chance to do so!

God does not send anyone to hell - those that goes to hell, went out of their own free will. Getting sent to hell is always the result of the choices one makes.
For example, if there are 2 glasses before you on a table, one filled with Coca-cola and the other filled with poison and both these glasses are clearly labelled and identified, and you choose to pick up the one labelled poison and drink it, whose fault is it if you die?
God gave man the free choice to choose between "heaven" and "hell", no trick question here!, therefore man himself is responsible for his response here!
Choose wisely!

God is not amused by much of anything -- and you should at least be glad the good ones go to heaven.
He has a good notion to send everybody to Hell. So don't ask the question like that.
Moreover, he reads the questions on here, and I got to tell you yours isn't going to win any sympathy from him.

The Lake of Fire - Final Destination - Second Death
Revelation 19:20
And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

No. Before he created humans, God created the angels who dwelt with him in heaven. Some angels led by Lucifer rebelled against God so God kick them out of heaven.

that's real that toddlers are innocenct in accordance to Islam and all different religions they flow to heaven in the event that they die earlier specific age. we ought to confirm at what age they're no longer harmless. As consistent with God's rules in all 3 Divine Revelations Torah, Bible & Quran ladies have been considered as women human beings (no longer harmless little ones) quickly after their first menstrual era. Boys have been considered adult men ( no longer harmless) whilst their mustache, pubic hair commence darkening and commence having moist targets. boys and ladies then or maybe immediately have such organic and organic adjustments. They have been married at age 112-15 boys and at age 10-13 ladies and had little ones. in the event that they weren't married and had sonsented intercourse they have been tried as adults and punished for fornication. And that replaced into completely all ideal in accordance the guidelines God wrote in Divine Revelations. finding at historic previous with todays western rules in recommendations is incorrect and unwise. immediately's west has dropped God and faith out of government and adult men have began making their very own rules. that are frequently incorrect and crammed with faults. In new rules a sixteen yrs female is harmless and if had consented intercourse with 18 yrs. boy, the boy is charged with statutory Rape regulation and not the girl is incredibly stupid regulation. that's incorrect to decide what societies did 3000 years in the past with todays rules or thinking conserving in recommendations. And todays at a loss for words anybody is looking questions in such concerns accusing Jesus for no longer imposing the non secular rules of the time.

He never let bad people go to Heaven. He punishes people for not following his laws by sending them to hell. Its their fault they go to hell.

He sends them to Hell to punish them for disobeying his commandments.
