If god really forgives than why is there a hell. some people say because you have to ask for forgiveness. Well still why is tthere a hell.

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.

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

I no understand... confused ...

Everyone has sinned, but Jesus forgave all of the sins when he died. If he didn't are souls wouldn't be cleansed enough to enter heaven.

I think God created hell because he had to put Satan somewhere because Satan was once Gods right hand man, before Satan wanted to be more powerful then God and God cast him to the lake of fire(hell)

[Varentill]

Some believe Hell to be a place to atone for your sins before you are allowed into Heaven.

Theres hell because there has to be a place for people who dont believe in God or that Jesus died for our sins

Well i don't believe in god because how can someone be there who never had a beginning?

There's got to be somewhere in the past with no beginning you know, even scientists know that.

No scientists always have answers 4 everything even how the world came to be..how can there be no beginning?

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.

Hell is a place Satan made not God

Who is satan can you say that for sure? And if god really forgave he wouldn/t let there be a hell right?

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.

No, God made Hell. He made it for Satan to be banished in after Jesus's second coming. It was never meant for humans. Like someone already said, sin can't come before God which is why people go to Hell, and the only way to rid oneself of sin is to accept Jesus as the Savior of the world and believe in him in one's heart and mind.

When people say God is a loving God and therefore wouldn't send people to Hell, they obviously haven't read the Old Testament... God is a loving, but just God. However, for me personally, I prefer to believe the "people go to Hell" thing is misconstrued... I don't think God would sentence non-believers to eternal torment, especially since people are all different, and you could take a Christian and a non-Christian and put them together and discover the non-Christian was a much nicer, better person than the Christian was throughout their life. I think it's impossible to fathom God's mind, so I just trust that God will do what's best for mankind and focus on the more important part of Christianity: Believing in God because he loves us and sent his Son to die for us, not because I'm afraid of going to Hell.

No, scientists don't have answers for everything. They can come up with theories all the time, but you know what a theory really is? It is an educated guess.
Don't think scientists are even close to being infallible.

As for Hell, hell is nothing more than the common grave. The Bible clearly gives this answer within it, but so very few people actually read the Bible that they are not aware of the real answer.

I don't know if there really is a place of unending torment for those who do not accept Christ. Perhaps they just cease to exist. However, don't think of God sending people to hell, but think of it as we are all condemned already. But Christ came to save us.

[Kharne Bloodhowler]

As far as I have read in the Bible, God created everything. He created every facet of life and death. He created the elements, the animals, the Angels(therefore he created demons.). He created all things. That includes Hell, the Devil(Satan, Lucifer, etc.), demons(rogue angels), and evil. If he created the good, then he created the bad. If he didn't create everything, is he/she/it God?

For everyone's information, no I am not Christian.
