How Can A God Of Love Throw People Into Hell Forever And Ever?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Many ask if God is love, how can God cast anyone into hell forever?

This is how. Yes, God is a God of love, but God is also a God of justice. The Bible tells us that God will reward believers with eternal life in His kingdom and cast unbelievers into the lake of fire for eternity. One might say that even someone like Hitler would be punished enough after burning in the lake of fire for thousands or millions of years. One could make the argument that a just God could come up with some formula that would determine the length of time any individual spent burning in hell for the sins they committed in their life. However, if God did that, coming up with an equation to calculate the time someone would spend in torment based on the sins they committed in their earthly life, then to be fair, for those who are saved, God would have to come up with an equation to calculate the time they would partake in the glorious kingdom of God based upon whatever good they may have done in their life. In such a scenario, torment and rewards would be for a finite period of time and based upon works. However, this is not what God promises. God speaks about eternal damnation and eternal rewards. If you make the argument that a person who sinned doesn’t deserve eternal punishment, then that argument is counterbalanced by the fact that whatever good a person may have done in their lifetime doesn’t merit an eternal reward. So God balances the scale of justice by weighing eternal damnation on one side against eternal reward on the other. Whether we like it or not, what we will be dealing with in the afterlife is eternity.

 

I for one am glad that God hands out eternal sentences. Not because people will burn in the lake of fire forever, but because I can look forward to ruling and reigning with Jesus for all time to come  (see REV 22:5) amen! Hallelujah!  

 

To Him who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power forever and ever amen! (see REV 5:13).

      Has anyone heard that God is speaking to humanity again? There is a man in Colorado named Marshall Vian Summers who has been receiving a revelation for 30 years concerning topics like climate change, world instability, the deeper spiritual power in each person of which is called Knowledge, and also extraterrestrial interference into human affairs. (no mention of throwing people into hell, however). I’ve been studying for about 8 years and am pretty impressed with the honesty and compassion with which this message is given.

      I suggest you restudy some of this.

      For a human to burn in an ever burning hell, that person must have an immortal soul. To burn for ever one must not be able to die. Right?

      If God the Father is “giving” us eternal life, why do we need it if we already have an immortal soul, we would already have eternal life.

      Read in Revelation about the Second Death. The last thing Jesus Christ does is destroy death.
      All those that refuse to obey, refuse the rule of God the Father over ones life, are cast into the Lake of Fire and burn back to dust, which is where we all came from, dust. They no longer exist.

      Humans are made subject to vanity and can never please God in the flesh, so why would He punish you for not doing something He never created you to be able to do?

      One other problem, you are working under the common assumption that this is the only day of salvation, it is not. What happened to the millions that died in Noah’s Flood, or the abortions, the little kids that can’t even use a toilet and are killed for some reason?

      Most of the churches today never get past kindergarten. The truth is in the Bible, it comes from God the Father to you directly, not from another man. Pray and study on your own. Read Isaiah 28 for instructions on how to use the Bible.

        Truthseeker,

        How do you reconcile what you have said with these verses from Revelation:

        9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

        10 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:

        11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

        —Revelation 14

      You can’t have it both ways. There is either an all knowing IT that therefore has no need to judge at all, because it already knows the outcome of everything since the beginning of time, OR, IT isn’t all knowing and has to judge after the fact… Which is it?

      • am123

        Neither. God is all knowing, but the fact that there is a Judgment Day does not negate that.

    • BEEF SUPREME

      Therefore hath He mercy on whom He will…
      …and whom He will He hardeneth.

      Thou (Pix) will then say unto me: Why doeth He yet find fault? For who has resisted His will?

      Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against Elohim?

      Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed: Why hast thou made me thus?

      Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel to honor, and another unto dishonor?

      Romans 9:18-21

    • DaveB

      There is no hell nor damnation in the Torah, and seeing that Yeshua was most definitely a Torah keeping Jew, there is absolutely no reason to suspect that he ever taught such nonsense.

      Hell is people that believe in hell, which from all likelihood, crept into the New Testament during the period when Islam was occupying Spain.

    • Realist

      I spit at you and your despicable, wretched, pathetiC Jesus.

      • am123

        May God bless you Realist!
