If God is so forgiving and loving why did He feel it necessary to create Hell?

Hell was never created for man. It was creAted for Satan. God can only forgive a repented heart.

Matthew 25:41
41 . . . Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Satan never repented and never will.

xgel:

Because God does not forgive nor forget.

Yeah,

In the end, we will all be forgiven. Hell is manmade.

Hell is the grave You know. anybody that says otherwise is on an agenda to fleece you of your money.

Hell was not created for man but for Satan and his demons as just a demonstration of God's righteousness and a show of justice. You see Satan then as Lusifer being an arch angel rebelled against God and was in a spectacular show of gross ignominy was kicked ought of heaven by angel arch angel Michael. But when man fell from glory and rejected God he by principle declared solidarity with God's enemy, be that as it may God for His love and concern for man as revealed in John 3:16 made a provision for man's salvation thus the only reason why a man will share in the punishment of Satan in Hell is only at the rejection of Jesus Christ and His gospel.

Poverty is hell, once you make money you will be heaven.

Because "he" is not so forgiving. According to the bible, "he" is a nasty piece of work so why should he be a forgiving deity? We are talking about the jewish tribal god, of course, aren't we?

That is just jewish mythological fabu handed to us by our white slavemasters, pastor joagbaje .

This might shock many people but l say it anyway and find time to explain: nobody will go to Hell because of what he or she did but for what he ire she did not do.

The only thing shocking here is the ambiguity and vagueness of that declaration. Can you tell us that thing that people are not doing that will get them to hell? If it is not being a memeber of the christian faith and following christ, then any allah follower can make the same claim by saying people will go to hell for not following allah's religion.

I guess that puts us all into hell, does it not? The truth is that our choices will create either a hellish or a heavenly state of reality for us all to experience right HERE on earth and nowhere else. And it is happening as we speak. As a matter of fact, it has always happen that way. All you have to do is look back at the recorded human history for confirmation.

the bible records this. Jesus was nailed with two thiefs and goes to heaven with one thief! and the other thief went to hell.

the bible records this. Jesus was nailed with two thiefs and goes to heaven with one thief! and the other thief went to hell.

Well sadboy you're wrong, Jesus said "today you will be with me in paradise". He didn't say "today l will take you to paradise" the choice was that of the thieves. to make. Afterall we see the thief on the right reprimanding his partner for wrongly accusing Jesus.

Choice is God's greatest gift to human kind thus today if anyone would go to heaven or Hell it will be based on their choice. Man is a free moral being

isn't it obvious by now that God is a sadist?

There is no hellfire.

Only a brainwashed person could possibly believe such a place exists.

Do you really not see the problems with this?
In heaven, Satan rebelled? This was the Satan that knew God yet decided to rebel in heaven? Maybe this heaven is not as good a place as you seem to think.
Why did God not warn his newly created humans against this Satan/serpent? He knew they were naive yet did not warn them against the temptations from the devil. What sort of benevolent parent does this? Do you punish your child for the rest of his life for a "sin" he committed when he was four years old?
Have you considered that revelation is a poor way of getting people to actually discover that something is true? If something was revealed to you but not to me, why should I accept it without convincing and demonstrable evidence? In fact, if something was revealed to you and I accept it uncritically, I'm doing myself a disservice because it makes me gullible.

So what you're saying is that it's the fear of hell that's preventing you from murdering and pillaging your neighbours? What sort of morality do you abide by?

newmi:

This is the sort of thinking that makes me shake my head and inclines me towards accepting that your religion is immoral and unjust. What you're saying is that Person A is a mass murderer sentenced to die. 5 minutes before his execution, he decides to believe in Christianity so he makes it into heaven.
Person B is an honest citizen who through most of his life has helped his fellow man and donated cheerfully to numerous causes. He never hears the Christian myth or he hears it but sees no reason to believe it is true. He will then be sent to this hell for eternity.
What sort of God does this?

Its shocking to discover that those who don't believe in God are many. damn heaven will be so scanty, its a shame.

oh well wether you do or don't its up to you, but before you decide take a look at this and read it carefully

At least, hell will be bubbling and vibrant. That's where all the colourful characters will be unlike heaven where the others will be forced to bow and scrape.

I would have loved to shove salvation down your throat but that will be in error to God's will, by all means do as you may wish but let me say this, on that day you'll remember these words "I TOLD YOU SO!" so my dear friend pay no heed to anything I say ok. its allowed

God is not only loving and forgiving, He is also righteous, holy, just, judge, of pure eyes. He hates sin, not the sinner. He'll punish sin wherever it's found whether in sinner or saint. He'll forgive sin if the offender repents whether sinner or saint. There're some things in life you can't do much about than to adapt for your own good. The sun, night, time, God are some examples.

It is equally shocking to discover that you've been living in a christian bubble/cocoon for so long. Welcome to the outside and real world.
