seriously, it makes absolutely no sense!  god is supposed to be this wonderful, forgiving person yet he sends people to hell.  in the bible it says hell is a place of eternal torment and suffering.  why would you want anyone to suffer for eternity??? that is a really long time.  i know some people are bad and need to be punished, but even a rapist or a murderer shouldn't be punished forever!!!

Jesus refers to a Lake of Fire, and in various places in the New Testament there are references to a place of eternal torment. What is interesting, however, is that the Old Testament only refers to hell as where the spirits of the dead are, makes no other comment about their state of existence.

It gets even better... since we all sin, and even one sin merits eternal punishment (ah, love...), the only way to escape hell is to accept Jesus Christ as Saviour and as the only mediator between God and man. What this means is that murderers who accept Jesus while in death row go to heaven while their non-Christian victims all go to hell.

i still don't get why anyone should have to go to a place of eternal torment!  even if a person wasn't a christian and denied that there was a god, don't you think it's a little harsh making them suffer forever?!

Hell is God's happy place.  His jacuzzi.  He wants some of those he loves to go there for a nice, steamy and relaxing time while others get to chill on a high cloud with him.

The reason some people go to hell is that they to awful things and show remorse for them. They have to be punished somehow.

[color=purple]People go to hell by choice.  During life God gives you a choice.  To live by the Bible or not.  It is basically if you choose not to be with God in life than he won't let you be with him in the afterlife.  That is what hell is (in one sense): a complete absence of God.  And no let's hear all you atheists make your cracks about not having to deal with God.

i went to a service with a friend one day and the pastor said...

God made everything... He made the Devil...He made temptation, but the Devil is his own thing...

in other words the devil steals...
God is willing to accept anyone....
becuz He "Loves us".... im not really of any riligion although i attend Church of England....but if you belive in a God...that sounds about right...

Here is how I heard it. God gives you plenty of chances to believe him and accept him in your life. If you continue to reject him you go to hell.
