There is a hell because we co-exist with sin, and sin can't enter heaven.

The only place that bible mentions a firey torment is with the illustration of Lazerus and the Rich Man,...

other than that it states that the soul is concious of nothing at all....meaning that how can a sould be tourmented eternally when it isn't concious....

I don't believe in hell..it goes against everything the bible says about God being a loving and caring God.

I agree because we just can't believe in some things the bible says...like how god has always been there. There has to be a beginning if there is to be anything..u kno?

Nope, we only think that because that's the way we live.

There is a Hell predominately for two reasons:

A) We have an immortal soul, and that soul cannot die.
B) We have free will.

God desires for us to love him. He wants to forgive us our sins. He wants us to be with him forever. He wants us to obey him. He wants to embrace us.

But he won't force us.

God forgives but you can't let bad people into heaven. And satan also known as Lucifer was once an angel that wanted to be greater than God so God banished him. Now the reason bad things happen is because of Satan.
