Is there a hell?

[hillsdone]

The bible says theres a hell so what else can you say to that, but how can the lord if he loves of this much send his own children, his own creation to a place were you spend all the rest of your days being tormented.

i dont know about you with kids but i couldnt send someone i love and care for to hell to spend the rest of there days in torture. I can see how very bad sinners can be sent to hell (Those who kill and speak out against the lord) but what if someone just couldnt find themselves to accept the lord just didnt have the time to really sit and think about it. should they really be sent? what if all this bad stuff going on went into there heads and they just couldnt accept the lord into there lives?

These days its very hard to find time to worship the lord and be able to have time to do the certain things for him.

A better question would be this:

When did God make hell?

Because, it's not listed in Genesis. It's not until Deuteronomy that hell is even mentioned.

Was hell made in the first 6 days of creation?

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

No mention of hell there.

So when did hell come into existence?

Some people believe that hell wouldn't have been created until Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. As though hell being created was a consequence of that meal.

However, this would imply that the LORD didn't know what would happen.

So, hell must have been made as part of day one and hell must be like a sub-forum of heaven.

Friend,
How is not accepting the Lord a lesser crime than murder? God is the ultimate good, if you attack the ultimate good you deserve the ultimate punishment.

. . . what if all this bad stuff going on went into there (spelling correction: their) heads and they just couldnt accept the lord into there lives?

Well then they should sit right down and re-evaluate their daily lives, and fit GOD into the big picture, shouldn't they?

In fact, they should do a lot more than that, and love GOD with all their heart and soul and might, for it is written . . .

Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Matthew 4:4 Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

You understand that, of course? The way to salvation is simple, God must be the whole life of a True Christian™, and His word must be followed to the letter!

He just wants you to love Him. You don't want to make JESUS cry, now do you, hill boy?

Why are you misquoting Brother V friend? He was asking when was Hell created, not did God know what the implications of Hell were when He created it.

Hell doesn't even have to be a physical entity to exist. Just think of this, you die without accepting Jesus as your Lord and saviour, washing your sins away with his blood, you are destined for eternity without Jesus, that is hell. Because all the saved people will be living it up in heaven while you spend eternity alone, what could happen to you in an eternity without the Perfect God in your life? Who knows, but it wont be a pleasant experience..

Absolutely. Anyway, God also made Hell for the Devil and the fallen angels, so he would have had to make it even if our womenfolk (viz., Eve) hadn't sold us down the Euphrates River (just like the Democrats want to do, BTW).

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: Matthew 25:41

Doesn't have to be, but it is.

Just think of this, you die without accepting Jesus as your Lord and saviour, washing your sins away with his blood, you are destined for eternity without Jesus, that is hell.

Living without Jesus is awful (yes, I remember what it was like), but Hell itself is a billion billion billion times worse:

The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. Revelation 14:10

Are you suggesting that God creates sinners, just to cast them into eternal Hellfire, like some giant kiln in which He fires His pottery?

What a bizarre concept of God you must have!

Just think of all the free time you have while you are alive on the earth. the time you go out and have fun. You can surely spend some time out of your life to find the Lord. He died for all our sins, that is why it is better to accept him into your heart or rot in hell. Hmmmmm what a choice.
