If I were God, we'd all be partying with pizza and beer by now!

the comparable reason Jesus went there while he died. Hell is the resting place for the ineffective. There are human beings in hell who're waiting for a resurrection (the righteous and the unrighteous) besides as many there who heavily isn't resurrected (the wicked). Jesus replaced into raised on the third day whether many others heavily isn't raised until Judgment Day (one thousand 3 hundred and sixty 5 days reign of Christ). There are purely 3 places a human could be: In Heaven, on earth, or in Hell. a million)Heaven---spirits and the one hundred forty four,000 human beings who're a sparkling introduction--they have been created human beings yet would be made spirits upon resurrection. 2)Earth---living human beings 3)Hell----resting place for ineffective human beings. God could be worshiped in spirit and in actuality. Hypothetically conversing, if a serial murderer locate Jesus repent and flow to heaven, then he could have chanced on the actual Jesus, no longer the counterfeit one preached via counterfeit Christians. i'm certainly one of Jehovah's Witnesses

People do not go to Hell because they refuse to worship Jesus. People go to Hell because they have transgressed God's laws (ever told a lie? ever stolen anything? ever dishonored your parents? ever lusted? ever hated someone?) and do not have a payment for their penalty. Christ came to pay that penalty and those who repent and put their trust in Jesus will be saved from God's wrath toward those who have not repented.
If Hell was not created, then God would not be good. A good and just judge *must* punish lawbreakers. If God let everyone off, He would neither be good nor just.
Most focus on God's grace and mercy. However, grace and mercy are only effective in the light of God's wrath and justice. If His wrath and justice didn't exist, there would be nothing for Him about which to be gracious and merciful.

The only sin that causes people to spend an eternity in Hell is by not accepting Jesus as their personal Saviour, Everyone has free choice about what they will do with Jesus. Either accept Him, or reject Him. Simple enough choice.
Every person who accepts the free gift God offers in the form of His son who died on the cross as payment of our sin, will spend eternity in Heaven. Those who refuse Him will not.
It does not matter how "good" you are, what a generous person you are, or if you love your Mama.
What will you do with Jesus??

First of all, God does not send anyone to Hell, for refusing to worship Jesus.And ,there is no such sin as an unforgivable sin. You cannot sin against one person of the Holy Trinity,you sin against all 3 ,which is one God .That part of the Bible was wrong.

The unforgiveable sin is blaspheming The Holy Spirit, not failure to worship Jesus.

If I were God, the world would run exactly like it does except people would get along with eachother a little better and care about the environment...
I probably wouldn't send my only son down to do my dirty work... but hey - I'm not the guy, so whatever...

If I were god. I'd play a more active role in human society. I'd be too busy killing rapists and murders with lightning bolts to worry about non-believers. If they were "good" I'd let them in the pearly gates. If they were "bad" I'd send them into reincarnation rather then send them to eternal damnation. I would care less if people believed in me or not.

God doesn't create hell. It's human's fallen nature and sins which cause death and create hell for themselves. However, there is this purgatory for sinners to purify themselves so that they may be able to 'face' God as God's magnificent glory will be too great for any uncleanse sinners to withstand. So, it is man's free will to create his own hell for him to jump into or choose Jesus' Way, Truth and Life towards eternal life....

This is the argument atheist like to put on Christians, how can God be so cruel.
God is beyond human, he is a spirit, he is not controlled by mans laws, if he takes someones life, he will not go to jail, if he wants to forgive someone who has committed murder when man wants the person to die, God can forgive them, he is not governed by man neither is his ways like man, he can have a love beyond that of man, also God can have a wrath that is beyond mans imagination or belief, as he is God. I seek to serve God and love him because he first loved me, to him be honor and glory. sad, but just because you don't believe in God, that don't make him any less real.

Well, when you put it like that God sounds like a spoiled brat and an attention seeker as well. And yet he has an "all-loving" reputation... somethings just can't be explained...
In answer to your question - no.
