I'm still confused, why does God have to put humans into hell who don't believe in him?

Question

Humans are created without choice since they were born, they don't know which religion is recognized by God, their minds are limited to knowing about God, they never choose religion from birth and never want to go to hell if they are in the wrong religion. why one religion and the other consider their religion to be the most true and recognized by God, whereas God never announced to them which religion is the most true.

Answer 1

It isn't a matter of not believing in him, it is a matter of your sincerely wanting to know the true God that decides whether or not God lets people get to know him.  There are two primarily involved in salvation, and YOU are one of them.



{Also, the common religious view of hell is incompatible with the Bible, as the source box below can reveal.)



God makes himself available to every human, in fact, Jesus said He is looking for people who want to worship him. In fact, God sent his Son Jesus to provide the way to approach Him. 



John 4:23: Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshippers will worship the Father with spirit and truth, for indeed, the Father is looking for ones like these to worship him.



But WE have to make that step toward God, to seek him honestly and regularly, and then he will let us find him.



 1 Chronicles 28:9: “If you search for him, he will let himself be found by you.”



He is not looking for people to condemn, He is looking for people to save from death due to sin. You may be familiar with John 3:16, but verse 17 clearly establishes this truth.



John 3:17:  For God did not send his Son into the world for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved through him.



1 Chronicles 16:9:  "For the eyes of Jehovah are roving about through all the earth to show his strength in behalf of those whose heart is complete toward him."



Neither does He hide himself from those who really want to know him, in fact he is always there to make himself known to them.



 Acts 17:26-27:  And he made out of one man every nation of men, to dwell upon the entire surface of the earth, and he decreed the appointed seasons and the set limits of the dwelling of men, for them to seek God, if they might grope for him and really find him, although, in fact, he is not far off from each one of us. 



This is why those so-called "prayer experiments" that some scientifically minded people try to make God show Himself by doing something that they want Him to do, won't ever work.  He knows what the heart, or real motivating inclination, of each human is, and He will not put on an act for us, like faithless Herod wanted for Jesus to perform some sign  for him.  Luke 23:8-9



But he will make Himself known for those who want to know him, because He knows that it means everlasting life for them to come to know Him. 



John 17:3   This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.



And His love for us is what motivates the true God to seek them out, and also to ignore those who are insincere:



 1 Peter 3:12   For the eyes of Jehovah are on the righteous, and his ears listen to their supplication, but the face of Jehovah is against those doing bad things.”

Answer 2

God is a sadist. God NEVER cared for us or created us. Satan did. 

Answer 3

Let this former atheist explain succinctly. "There are only two kinds of people in the end – those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done’ and those to whom God says, ‘Thy will be done'." [Mere Christianity]  He also pointed out that "God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There can be no such thing."  Atheists deny God exists, so if they die still convinced of that, they will step out of time, enter eternity and find God has acquiesced to their belief and given them the only portion available outside of Himself.



This has absolutely nothing to do with religious denomination. The free will bit applies in the sense that God will never force anyone to either believe in Him or to desire to do His will. But He has already provided enough evidence of His love for rebellious humanity so that no-one going to the grave still resisting Him will be able to argue against the final outcome. The Day of Judgment will make that clear to every living being in the cosmos. (Oh, the quotes are from C.S. Lewis.)

Answer 4

BECAUSE of sin we were separated from GOD ETERNAL salvation and because of this a price had to be paid,and it was for this reason JESUS came into the world to shed HIS blood and save us from eternal damnation.SO we can accept the price that JESUS paid and walk away freely or wait for judgement day.EACH and every one may choose as they so wish.  

Answer 5

Hell DO "believe in him."

Answer 6

It is fiction. relax and breathe.

Answer 7

Natural man automatically goes there because he doesn't there is anything better . Go where Jesus can teach you .

Answer 8

It makes no sense, when that god could easily help people to learn but all he ever did was not appear, not say a damn thing, and never did a damn. It is the religion that presents that god and Jesus, and they provide no evidence for either one.  It is a huge money con game and needs to be stopped.

Answer 9

That may be some people's opinion, but the fact is, we don't know who God accepts into Heaven and who He allows to go to Hell. If we did, we would probably have a lot of surprises.

Answer 10

They are not the darkness but are in the darkness because their deeds are evil. God is everything. Source the bible. Think about it.

Answer 11

Religions were created by spirits. Spirits always want to have their own groups, own languages, own culture and civilization. God has given free will to all spirits. All spirits (good and bad) have the possessing and dominating nature. But these spirits cannot possess human beings without the willingness of the human beings. They need at least a tiny reason. Human beings’ lives depend on the possession of the spirits. Using their sixth sense, they can choose right spirits to their lives. But after they have chosen the spirits they will be ruled by the spirits. This is like democracy. All spirits (good and bad) have the dominating character. They can take the human beings to the extent of sacrifice or suicide.



God never bothers whether people believe in him or not. God’s involvement in human affairs is very rare. God doesn't watch each and every human being at the same time and cannot live with each and everyone to guide them. These works are done by the spirits. God had created different kinds of spirits for various purposes. He had made the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Your past determines your present and your present determines your future. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, all human beings have all right to live a life as they wish. But if it happens to be bad and hurts someone, they have to face the consequences. These consequences are created by spirits. It's a natural system. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits, not for human beings. God is a mystery even to the spirits. Spirits are not eternal beings but their lifetime is long. Spirits are separate elements. A human being during his/her lifetime is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, interests and everything. These spirits are your consciousnesses and memories. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. Brain is just a media to connect the spirits to your mind. A mind is just a computer's mind. A mind is you. After the destruction of a computer completely you will not get it's mind. The same is the case with the human beings.  A human being doesn't have a spiritual body. Soul is nothing but an energy needed for the functionality of a body. It is not a spirit or anything else. A body's functionality is based on the auto mechanism.  After death all spirits which accompanied a person quit and go to different places searching new bodies. No one lives in any form after death. All human beings are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games.

Answer 12

Psychopath people are the people who invented the abrahamic god and those psychopaths want to have power over people who do not like psychopaths.

Answer 13

Sorry, there is no such thing as hell or going to hell, thanks to Jehovah God that cares about people who love what is true and good. He urges to leave false religion behind. People who love God are willing to make changes in there life to please him .Whereas true religion glorifies God, false religion displeases him. It teaches ideas that are not in the Bible, including false teachings about God and about the dead. But Jehovah wants people to know the truth about him. Read Ezequiel 18:4; 1 Timothy 2 :3-5.  There is more good news. Jehovah has not forgotten the "sincere" people who are scattered among false religions worldwide. He is uniting such people by teaching them the truth. Read Micah 4:2,5.  Jehovah God welcomes into his family of worshippers those who "TURN" away from false religion. If you accept Jehovah's warm invitation, you will receive his friendship, a new and loving family of fellow worshippers of Jehovah, and everlasting life. And yes nobody is born knowing or loving God, but that's why he sent his Son to guide us and to teach us about his Father's Kingdom, for all those who pay attention  to the GOOD NEWS OF HIS KINNGDOM TO COME AND EVER LASTING BLEASINGS.  for more information JW.ORG

Jesus truly does Love You and so do I.

Answer 16

He does not.   He offers an open invitation to Heaven; some decline 

Answer 17

 Hello,



you must not be confused.



The Bible tells us that 144,000 go to heaven to be kings with Jesus over the earth.



The Bible does not teach the religious lies of immortal soul and eternal torment in hell.  It teaches that God Jehovah is love.

Answer 18

There is no need to be confused at all. Irrespective of what certain religions are saying, the bible does NOT teach that people can end up forever in a fiery hell. This has always been a scare tactic of religions to convert the so called heathen to accept their form of Christianity.

If you wish to get an accurate understanding of what happens to people when they die, please go to www.jw.org/Bible questions answered and just type in somthing like, hell or hellfire or hope for the dead and you will get the truth straight from God's word the Bible.

Millions have been set free from the burden of false religious teachings and so can you.

Answer 19

There is no hell. You simply will get destroyed and shall be like ashes (Malachi)

Answer 20

People Who choose evil cannot be with God

Answer 21

"I'm still confused, why does God have to put humans into hell who don't believe in him?"



Wrong.



"Why are you talking about free will ??": 



Because you asked about it when you said: "Humans are created without choice since they were born". No choice means no free will.



The rest of the "question" is nothing more than you bloviating and whining.If you don't want to be religious, then just don't be religious, that's all. 



The rest of this asinine question will be ignored.If you were confident of your own beliefs, you wouldn't be on here whining about the beliefs of others. You are asking questions because deep down inside, you know you are wrong and religious people are right.



Your confusion stems from your own inner conflict on this topic.



God does not send people to Hell. They send themselves. 



God created a Way to NOT go to Hell.



In a burning building a person who does not want to burn finds the way out. He does not stand there and whine that he doesn't like the way fire escape looks. His presence in the burning building is the result of his own actions.



So if YOU don't take the Way out then only YOU are to blame.



People have dominion on this planet. The circumstances on this planet were created by humans. And ONLY humans are to blame for what happens to them.



So YOU will decide what YOU will do and where YOU will go. Don't blame anything on God or on ANYONE else for what YOU decide to do. It's YOUR responsibility. God, other people and the cosmos are NOT going to babysit YOU. YOU have to do that YOURSELF.



So YOU go ahead and do whatever YOU want to do and then YOU can deal with the consequences of what YOU did to YOURSELF.



If YOU "don't believe" in life jackets, don't whine when YOU drown. 

Answer 22

Anonymous, it's nothing whatsoever to do with RELIGIONS.  There will be people UNSAVED, and people SAVED, in every single church and denomination on earth, in every nation, tribe, colour, ethnic group etc.   ALL OF US HUMANS, without exception, are born evil.  We are ALL born spiritually dead in trespasses and sins and only Christ can make us alive (Ephesians 2: 1 & 5).  Now, of course, God knew that it was NOT our own fault that were are all born of Adam's trespasses & sins, because we are Adam's offspring - and him being disobedient, means we are born of that evil tree that he ate of in the Garden of Eden, with HIS SINS inherently born in us; that's why we are all subject to death and the whole world is fallen due to that. Consequently, God is the One who brought the solution to our problem.  He HIMSELF came to earth as a human Man (Jesus was God in flesh John 1:14) and He did that because all sin requires either punishment of the person (which is us) or blood sacrifice.  So God BACAME OUR BLOOD SACRIFICE. God HIMSELF, who is Spirit (John 4:24) which couldn't be crucified, came to earth in flesh (John 1:14), so that He COULD be OUR Blood sacrifice.  Being in flesh He could then be crucified, nailed to a cross, which a Spirit cannot be, of course -  being invisible!   Therefore, anyone who ACCEPTS, God's sacrifice for our sins, and then lives in this world to love our Heavenly Father and Creator, and follow and obey Him, will be granted eternal life in heaven when they die physically so that we can spend eternity with our loving Saviour & Deliverer who became the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.  However, on the other hand, those who REFUSE Jesus Christ as Saviour, cannot have His free gift of Salvation or the ensuing eternal life in heaven; so consequently, anyone who refuses Christ, HAS TO PAY THE PUNISHMENT FOR THEIR OWN SINS. (Think about it, why would anyone who hates God and Christ even WANT TO spend eternity with them in heaven?). It won't be God's fault.  It's our choice.  God has given us free will so that we can CHOOSE either to love & serve Jesus Christ in this life, and spend eternity in heaven, or we CAN REFUSE Jesus Christ in this world, and BE PUNISHED FOR OUR OWN SINS in Hell's flames of torment in eternity. God WILL NEVER force us to love Him.  We have to want to. 



As far as I'm concerned, there is no contest.  God said, "Choose you this day whom you will serve"  As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.  

Answer 23

No religion; know God.



Would it be okay with you if no justice was done and everybody just got away with everything? Of course not. And don't worry... no one in hell is complaining they shouldn't be there. God is perfectly just: I wouldn't worship Him if He DIDN'T punish evil.



*** God's love for us and desire to show us mercy cannot override the need for justice to be done.***



If you show contempt for God's grace and scorn the gift of eternal life, there is no sacrifice left for you.



Listen carefully (your life is at stake):



By law - even spiritual law - if a guilty party who is sentenced to death, refuses a pardon by an authority willing to give it; the court has no power to force the pardon on the person. 



That’s why people must LET God forgive them. 



God provided an atoning sacrifice and fulfilled the requirements of the law: A LIFE FOR A LIFE.



And He suffered greatly to give it. Can you imagine sacrificing your own innocent child so some criminal could walk away scott free? If they don’t take the offer, that means Jesus was tortured in their place for nothing, and the Lord has no recourse to help them. 



Jesus - the sinless man - paid the price due for Adam's redemption from death, and all who were in Adam's body. Adam was perfect before he sinned, and so another perfect man was needed to buy his life back. 



If my Lord, whom I serve and adore, was brutally murdered in their place - and they CHOOSE to reject this gift - they will deserve what they get. No one will be complaining about how unfair it is.



PS. If you are triggered by this message, let me assure you I don't care about your emotional state, but I do (very much) care about your soul. It is my sacred responsibility to try and save you from the coming wrath of God; justice must be served.



"I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." That exclusive statement by Jesus rules out all man-made efforts to get to God, and therefore, ultimately, heaven.  



The way to God is a PERSON, not a religion. 



"I am the way." 

"I am the door." 

"I am the gate." 



Test these claims Jesus made about Himself. He is the only way into God's Kingdom: Jesus is the one and only real-life PORTAL into this spiritual dimention... a fourth dimention.  His kingdom on earth. The cross is a spiritual 'black hole' for the world's sins, crimes and evil. 



Any organization that makes the (ridiculous) claim "You need Jesus PLUS US to get to heaven." is not from God. Jesus is all you will ever, ever need. 



"Come to me all you who are burdened and weary and I will give you rest for your souls. Take My yoke upon you; for My burden is easy, and My yoke is light." 



Do this and live.. Do it today. Tomorrow may be too late. 

Answer 24

You only have yourself to blame if your cast into hell, God gave you a free will and mind to choose and believe what you want, if you don't believe in him than hell is where you go,, you have that choice.

Answer 25

There is no hell as a place of torment or fire. “Hell” is not such a good translation for the original word “Sheol” (in Hebrew), “Hades” in Greek which means “the Grave.” According to the Bible, those in the Grave do not suffer. Ecclesiastes 9:5,10.    



Once a person dies, is acquitted from sin, and does not have to continue paying for his sins by burning forever like many religions teach.  

“He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.” —Romans 6:7.

Because God sees us as a game. Like chess. Replaceable pieces.

Answer 28

God created this world for his pleasure, and wants to bring it back to the original way it was before sin entered the world. One bad apple could spoil the whole barrel

Answer 29

I'll stick with C.S. Lewis's observations about this. I don't believe that God sends anyone to hell; he's entirely in the business of persuading us not to go there. 

 

And while I believe that Christian teachings are very helpful toward salvation, I don't believe that whether or not we're saved depends on whether we've acquired the label. 

 

The following quotations are partly to explain my position to you--and partly to defend it against some of my fellow Christians. 

 

 

‘A man can’t be taken to hell, or sent to hell: you can only get there on your own steam.’ 

-- C.S. Lewis, "The Dark Tower" [unfinished novel] 

 

Is it not frightfully unfair that this new life should be confined to people who have heard of Christ and been able to believe in Him? But the truth is God has not told us what His arrangements about the other people are. We do know that no man can be saved except through Christ; we do not know that only those who know Him can be saved through Him. 

-- Lewis, "Mere Christianity" 

Answer 30

It is simple and just: paradise is reserved by God for sincere believers.

Answer 31

God does not send anyone to hell for 'not believing in Him'.  When this life is over there are only two places for man to then exist.  One is WITH God, the other is WITHOUT God.  The place where they'll be without God has to exist because those who reject Christ would not fit in Paradise, it would all be alien to them so they'll be sent elsewhere which will not be a nice place.  The bible describes it as a place where there will be 'a wailing and gnashing of teeth'.  Some theologians have described it as absolute loneliness - being absent from God and His love.



In this life you have a choice regarding whom you follow - no-one is forced to accept Christ and you will have right up to the moment of your death to seriously and sincerely accept Him but it is not wise to wait until a death-bed scene because there is no guarantee that you will be in control of your own thoughts and decisions at that time. You could die part way through an operation, you could be in a coma unable to use your own thoughts.  You could die instantly in an accident or be murdered.



NOW is the time to make a decision for Christ and accept Him as your Saviour, thanking Him for taking YOUR punishment for sin on the Cross of Calvary.

Answer 32

You certainly are confused.Religion is not what matters.Even decent atheists will go  to heaven,That's all it takes!

Answer 33

Religions are based on FEELINGS, not FACTS.

If you can find customers who will pay you to tell them how to avoid suffering a million billion fukktilion centuries of agony, why not take their money?   Just make sure your religion has SACRED writings which scold them for asking for testable, repeatable, consistent EVIDENCE that you're not just running a scam.

Answer 34

Because heaven is a holy place.  Nothing sinful will enter there.  We need to be  "in  Christ" with His righteousness  as a covering in order to go to heaven. 



2 Corinthians 5:21

Answer 36

Dude, that's not in the Bible. Both the Old & New Testaments teach a Resurrection & not eternal punishment. No where does the Bible say that only a chosen few will go to heaven. John 14, Christ said there's room for all.

Answer 37

Because humans are part of the divine creatures and their obligation is to venerate God, even to thank him and ask forgiveness, hoping for mercy and paradise.

Answer 40

It's not gods, it's the clergy who need a stick to drive those who cannot think for themselves towards religion.

Answer 41

He sent a Book full of information that each person chooses to seek out to understand, and make their own mind up about, or not.  That is a choice people each make for themselves.  No one else can do that for someone else, but people can share what they've learned to help each other in the seeking and studying.  He gives instructions about an enemy in this world, how to recognize the enemy, the enemy's tactics, how to overcome the enemy, how to live happiest while in the flesh, and when we fall short of following His instructions perfectly, He, Himself, was born through the amniotic sac of water, (John 3:5 KJV), just like He asked us to do, through a flesh woman, into a flesh body, lived by all the instructions perfectly, and laid down His flesh life at the unrighteous judgment of satan working through people who rejected His Law against false witnesses, (Matthew 26:59-60 KJV), and against pre-meditated murder of an Innocent Man, so that He would NOT be blamed for the choices they made when it is time for Him to judge them in righteousness.  He does not interfere, nor intervene where He is not welcome.  But, He promises that people who seek Him with all their heart and soul, will find Him.  Deuteronomy 4:29 KJV.  And that He will help them when they fall short and need His help against the enemy of this world, satan, repent of their own sins of rejection and ask for God's help in Jesus' Name.

He matter of factly lets people know where some dead end paths lead to, much like a road sign might warn of a steep cliff ahead.  If people ignore His Book, His warning and the great price He paid through Jesus Christ at the cross, how is He to blame for their decisions?  



Hebrews 2:14 KJV Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For verily he took not on [him the nature of] angels; but he took on [him] the seed of Abraham. 17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.  



2 Peter 3:9 KJV  The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Answer 45

There is absolutely no verifiable evidence that a heaven or hell actually exist.

Answer 46

The fact of the matter: The reason is because God law demands payment for sins and if God The Lord Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is not your sacrifice for your sins, then you will be the sacrifice for your sins read Romans 6:23, read 2 Corinthians 2:15-17

Answer 47

Have you noticed that the souls in hell, the few times their voices are heard in Scripture, do not protest their fate?



Hell is not arbitrary, pernicious, nor cruel. Hell is perfect justice done to a soul that willfully does not give up their own desires that are contrary to God.



The reason why that last bit is essential is that God is existence itself. If you are against existence... well there's nothing left.

Answer 59

Fear of hell indicates a belief in God and maybe you are only agnostic

Answer 60

hell is the common grave of mankind

HellDefinition: The word “hell” is found in many Bible translations. In the same verses other translations read “the grave,” “the world of the dead,” and so forth. Other Bibles simply transliterate the original-language words that are sometimes rendered “hell”; that is, they express them with the letters of our alphabet but leave the words untranslated. What are those words? The Hebrew she’ohlʹ and its Greek equivalent haiʹdes, which refer, not to an individual burial place, but to the common grave of dead mankind; also the Greek geʹen·na, which is used as a symbol of eternal destruction. However, both in Christendom and in many non-Christian religions it is taught that hell is a place inhabited by demons and where the wicked, after death, are punished (and some believe that this is with torment).Does the Bible indicate whether the dead experience pain?Eccl. 9:5, 10: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all . . . All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol,* the place to which you are going.” (If they are conscious of nothing, they obviously feel no pain.) (*“Sheol,” AS, RS, NE, JB; “the grave,” KJ, Kx; “hell,” Dy; “the world of the dead,” TEV.)Ps. 146:4: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts* do perish.” (*“Thoughts,” KJ, 145:4 in Dy; “schemes,” JB; “plans,” RS, TEV.)Does the Bible indicate that the soul survives the death of the body?Ezek. 18:4: “The soul* that is sinning—it itself will die.” (*“Soul,” KJ, Dy, RS, NE, Kx; “the man,” JB; “the person,” TEV.)



Why is there confusion as to what the Bible says about hell?“Much confusion and misunderstanding has been caused through the early translators of the Bible persistently rendering the Hebrew Sheol and the Greek Hades and Gehenna by the word hell. The simple transliteration of these words by the translators of the revised editions of the Bible has not sufficed to appreciably clear up this confusion and misconception.”—The Encyclopedia Americana (1942), Vol. XIV, p. 81.Translators have allowed their personal beliefs to color their work instead of being consistent in their rendering of the original-language words. For example: (1) The King James Version rendered she’ohlʹ as “hell,” “the grave,” and “the pit”; haiʹdes is therein rendered both “hell” and “grave”; geʹen·na is also translated “hell.” (2) Today’s English Version transliterates haiʹdes as “Hades” and also renders it as “hell” and “the world of the dead.” But besides rendering “hell” from haiʹdes it uses that same translation for geʹen·na. (3) The Jerusalem Bible transliterates haiʹdes six times, but in other passages it translates it as “hell” and as “the underworld.” It also translates geʹen·na as “hell,” as it does haiʹdes in two instances. Thus the exact meanings of the original-language words have been obscured.



What does the Bible say the penalty for sin is?Rom. 6:23: “The wages sin pays is death.”After one’s death, is he still subject to further punishment for his sins?Rom. 6:7: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.”Is eternal torment of the wicked compatible with God’s personality?Jer. 7:31: “They [apostate Judeans] have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.” (If it never came into God’s heart, surely he does not have and use such a thing on a larger scale.)Illustration: What would you think of a parent who held his child’s hand over a fire to punish the child for wrongdoing? “God is love.” (1 John 4:8) Would he do what no right-minded human parent would do? Certainly not!

Answer 61

How dare you question GOD!!! 

You go straight to hell---).... I ain't playin'...get in there, RIGHT NOW!

Answer 62

He does not, because he does not exist.

Answer 63

I personally belief that only people who are really 'evil' would end up in hell. 

Jesus Christ had stated that we have only to' love God and our neighbours as ourselves'. I contribute a lot towards that point of view to ' love ' as much as we all can! As far as hardship is concerned we have inherited that (in our own DNA) and also we had inherited other talents in the like of intelligence and wisdom as well! 

Answer 64

It is like we are all in a house together. The house starts on fire ad nobody can figure out how to get out. God opens the front door and calls to us to come out through the front door. Some listen and escape. Others ignore Him and perish.

Answer 65

Some people are considered evil. That's why hell is there. But no I don't believe in a perfect beautiful God. The only real God I know is the one man created by mind.

Answer 66

Freewill has everything to do with it.  God has nothing to do with people going to hell.  Jesus said, "the Father judges no one", and "by the judgment we pass shall be passed on us, and by the measure we apply shall be applied to us".  God doesn't care whether we believe in Him or not.  Hell is for those who reject, and cut themselves off to God, by not regarding life as sacred. 



If you're idea of "heaven" is an existence without God, hell is where you end up in the afterlife.

Answer 67

A lack of charity (love) in a person's soul is a much more reliable indicator of where they will likely spend eternity than lack of belief in Jesus Christ, since meeting Jesus Christ on Judgment Day pretty much dispenses with the faith issue, but the problem with lack of charity (love) is not so easy to resolve. No one who departs this earthly realm with at least a modicum of charity remaining in their soul is likely to experience eternal damnation.

Answer 68

Hell don’t exist he hates torturing people

Answer 69

Here is the truth:  Death leads to immediate heaven or hell. The only way to have eternal life, the only way to be in heaven and avoid hell, is by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ for eternal life (John 6:47).  It is that simple and that easy.  It is too late to be saved after death.  Jesus is God and Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).  Nothing else pays for our sins, not works from us or anything else, and Jesus already paid for our sins with His death and blood.  You cannot add any works to getting into heaven (Romans 4:5).

Answer 70

BECUZ OF THIS VERSE IN BIBLE...

SOUL THAT SINS SHALL DIE...SO THOSE WHO REFUSE to pray and repent will die the 2nd death also after Failing JudGment....not too late to pray TO JESUS.

Answer 71

if your god  was  so  great then why does he DEMAND you adore and worship him these are  the traits  of an evil tyrant

Answer 72

This assumes that human's knowledge and beliefs are backed by there actually being a god that exists,but inside the universe there is no proof it ever existed and not in the way people say it does,i find the concept of a god plausible but i find the idea that humans are worthy of reward or punishment as a reflection of our own self importance and idiocy,even if there is a god.



It's probably going to be a shock to learn we're just an abandoned project on a shelf in a back room and god has no idea what the hell we are or want from him,or it has moved on with other dimensions,races and ideas than to be charged with judging a ranting bleating ego maniacal deluded pretentious humazee race such as us,as not just a self deluded tiny minded fantasy on our part,but an embarrassment to higher life forms with the brain power and potential such as we have shown to be capable of realising,but led down a road of such a narrow concept of there being some 'creator' that we surrender our own judgement and rational thinking to allow 'him' to define all of our entire eternity and our happiness or torment,into the hands of what is believed to be a god,or league of unknowns,who they themselves having never lived or died,and know nothing more than sitting back and watching,and then 'judging'.

Answer 73

Ok, your question is well warranted, so here's some things to consider.



For starters, the term 'hell' comes from the Hebrew and Greek words 'Sheol' and 'Hades', both which refer to the common grave of mankind or 'pit'. Everyone(& even animals) goes there when they die, returning 'to dust', a.k.a. break down to their bare elements until they cease to exist. (Ecclesiastes 3:19 & 20) The same thing happened to Adam after sinning in the Garden of Eden. (Genesis 3:19) During the whole process, the person is unaware of what's happening, unable to feel anything. (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6 & 10) So basically, the concept of a burning hell ISN'T a Biblical teaching. It was something drummed up by clergy(who based their ideas off other ancient religions...) to keep parishioners in fear. 



While it's true that there is a small, select number that are going to Heaven, these are chosen specifically by Jehovah God and Jesus. (Revelation 14:1-4) The rest of the people that are righteous will be able to live forever on Earth. (Psalms 37:29) As for the people that have died without knowing who Jehovah God is or His principles/requirements, despite being considered 'unrighteous' by default, they also will be resurrected with those who died righteous to live on Earth. (Acts 24:15; John 5:28 & 29) When they return to life, they'll have the opportunity to learn about who Jehovah God is, what happened beforehand, etc. During the time of test later on, if they decide to side with Jehovah God, they will live on forever with the righteous. If not, they will be destroyed along with the Devil and all who followed him. (Proverbs 2:21 & 22; Revelation 20:7-10)

Answer 74

Long answer here, get ready: innocents do not go to Hell.  Innocents are people who know nothing about God.  Religion is not the deciding factor. What is is if a person accepts Jesus as their savior.  Not just says they have, but honestly does.  Children may be too considered too young, but God knows if they are being led, and they are innocent until the reaches understanding, which is different for every person.  



Religion is not the deciding factor, it's awareness.   The only group that i'm aware of which teaches the necessity of and how to accept salvation is Chrisianity.  Before people get upset, I am not familiar with other religious  teachings. Acceptance of Jesus Christ as the Son of God is necessary.  Anybody can do this. Reps are everywhere, Christians who know the Lord.  You can do this, regardless of anything.  Heaven is a draw, yes, but when a person who's searching finds the path, there is so much more.



When you know this, your innocence is lost.

Answer 75

If you Truly want to know the answer to your question, then you will read the following article:



http://discipledave.com/Meaningoflife.html



It explains why Humans were created in the first place, and WHY we are all here.



Also i would like to comment on something you say above.



God doesn't put anyone into Hell, they freely choose Hell over going to Heaven.



God does not allow them into Heaven, which is HELL. All of the Universe is a part of the Kingdom of Heaven. The Earth right now, is NOT.



satan is the god of the earth right now, but when Jesus gets Here, that all changes. When Jesus gets here, the EARTH becomes a part of the Kingdom of Heaven. Anyone who is NOT going to be a part of that Kingdom is not allowed into Heaven. There are only two places in the entire universe. Heaven consisting of 99.99% of the UNIVERSE. and Hell consisting of .01% of the Universe.

Those who are NOT allowed to participate in Heaven, are automatically in Hell. NOT because God put them there, but because God denied them entrance into Heaven.



Those who choose to NOT believe in the creator of the Universe, will NEVER be allowed to participate in the Kingdom of Heaven. Likewise those who claim to believe in Jesus yet fail to Love One Another as He COMMANDED True Christians to do, will also be DENIED entrance into Heaven, no matter how loud they claim they believe in Jesus. There will be so much weeping and gnashing of teeth, by millions who thought they should have been allowed into Heaven and will be rejected.



i am a prophet of the Most High God, and i have yet again warned you of this TRUTH, and you will not be able to plead ignorance, when you are JUDGED by God.

Answer 76

YOU LIKE MOST PEOPLE HAVE A WRONG CONCEPT OF HELL, HELL IS THE GRAVE NOT A FIRE AND SO ALL PEOPLE GO INTO THE GRAVE. 

THE LAKE OF FIRE HAPPENS AFTER THE 2ND RESURRECTION WHICH IS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE TOTALLY REJECTED YHVH GOD AND THEY WILL APPEAR BEFORE HIS THRONE TO ANSWER FOR THEMSELVES.

 NO ONE IS IN A FIRE FOR ETERNITY.  ALL OF THAT IS WRONG TEACHING AND WRONG UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE.

Answer 77

God made the whole world. EVERYTHING. He made us and we had a really good relationship with him, because there was nothing separating us and God - we were the beloved children of the perfect, all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful God. He gave us the world (literally) for us to look after. We could do what we wanted, without limits, except that we weren't allowed to eat from one tree; the Tree o the Knowledge of Good and Evil. He did this because he knew that once he did, we would think we were better than him, and it would cause hatred and jealousy from us; and ruin our relationship with God. Everything was good for a while. Everything was perfectly in harmony. But then, at the slightest temptation, we ate some of the fruit. Obviously, God knew. We were banished from the garden, and we could no longer live in harmony with God, because he is perfect and we are sinful, and those two things do not go well together. We spent hundreds of years God loving us and looking after us, but all that time he had a perfect, ultimate master plan. The prophets told of a great king, who would rule forever, and save us. At the start of the New Testament, we meet Jesus: a weak, crying baby, born in a cattle shed and being visited by shepherds. He didn't look powerful, or like a saviour, or even like he could change one person's life - let alone millions. However, he grew up and taught thousands of people about the love of God and how we should turn to him and love him and love one another. But here came another anti-climax: he died. He died alone, being mocked and scorned; naked, on a cross. His followers were distraught. He had said he would die, but like this? Executed by their enemies, the Romans? It looked like a failure of God's master plan, it must have gone wrong. But three days later, Jesus' tomb was empty. He had risen from the dead! He had overcome death! This man was God. He had come down into our imperfect, broken world - from the glory and perfection of heaven - knowing he would be rejected and persecuted and ultimately betrayed and killed in misery. But Jesus didn't come just to teach. He came to die. That was the purpose of him coming to earth. He died the death we deserved, so that anyone who trusts in him and his power and love can be friends with God. All true Christians are essentially back in the Garden of Eden: back at one with God, able to live in his presence. So that's why. He, the almighty God, who we disobeyed, came to earth to die in our place. We can't be in the presence of his perfection and power as we are now. We must be purified by Jesus' blood first.

Answer 78

he does not he gave us freedom of choice and we chose where we Go

Answer 79

Ill answer that the way you asked, one point at a time.  God doesnt put humans in hell.  Those who go to hell do so of their own choice.  They chose a negative path knowing full well at the time that  it lead to a negative place.  There is no way negative people can be happy in a positive and loving place so they choose the negative as they have all their lives, there is no excuse.  humans have choice.  I choose to help others everyday.  If I didnt I would be as confused as you.  Yes our minds are limited, thats why we choose to educate ourselves to better ways.  Your mind does not have to stay limited.  Religion has little to do with hell.  There is only one Christian religion by the way, it is the one that follows Christ.  Its Called Christian, its not hyphenated, there is no other name by which we may be saved.  All these thousands of other religions are false.  That doesnt mean that everyone in them is going to hell.  A lot of genuinely misslead people who have gone through their lives doing their best for others will be in Heaven.  Heaven is about love, not doctrine.  Jesus did announce which religion was right, He said "Follow Me"  Read what Jesus said,, only Jesus, no one else,  do what He asks and you will end up with him.  Its really that simple, dont let false religions complicate it.  God bless

Answer 80

Man needs to feel they are special in some way be it skin color or beliefs and even social affiliations. It is our inborn Trible mentality as well as our insecurities in our own self worth and self esteem. If one is "judged" it will not be in which Micky Mouse Club they chose but in how they lived their life.

Answer 81

Let  us put it  this way:  would you want to live with someone who doesn't even believe in you?

Answer 82

Everyone born has been given a measure of God's Holy Spirit and to remove that so our soul can actually die takes fire......

Answer 83

The God-story is fiction/fantasy/a lie.  The believers seem to care more about believing than they do about truth.

Answer 84

No you aren't confused . Skydaddy is 

Answer 85

God is holy, righteous and just. He cannot live in the presence of sin. That precludes heaven and leaves only death and hell. There is NO reason for you to die and go to hell. But you will by rejecting your only hope of salvation. So you see, its up to you, not God.







Ezekiel 33:11 KJV — Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die?





Man up and take responsibility. 







>>>I heard that Jesus became sin<<<



That simply means that HE died for YOUR sins so that YOU wouldnt have to.
