Can a God of love, create a Place like Hell?

I have discussed this subject before and I do not believe that a place of torture created by God exists. As far as I know, God is love and not a torturer.

YES.....ONE GOD ALMIGHTY HAS CREATED H E L L AND HE IS JUSTIFIED !! His great LOVE does not mean He should not punish the culprits,who do not recognize Him as ONE God Almighty in spite of the fact that He had taken an Oath from all the human souls before creation of Adam:that they will never make other associates or mediators with HIM and will never indulge in Polytheism......as it is the biggest and only unforgivable sin in the last Holy book,the Holy Quran and all other scriptures which were changed by the religious people who came latter.God Almighty sent about 124000 Prophets to us who all preached Monotheism but even then we could not recognize Him as one God Almighty.Instead we started worshiping some Prophets and killed others.....Then we killed millions of innocent people in wars and nuclear attacks.Do you think God Almighty should forgive them ? NO ,NOT AT ALL HE HAS TO DO JUSTICE AND FOR THAT PURPOSE HELL IS THE BEST PLACE HE HAS CREATED.......!!

Are you kidding? There are many " loving parents" that will do worse to their own children.So G-d could have created hell as the ultimate threat. do as you are told or rot in Hell! But I don't think G-d created hell nor heaven. They exist but He didn't create them. I see G-d and the Devil as twins. G-d lives in heaven and Devil in hell. There is a huge battle over the souls of humans but it is all about their relationship to each other , not ours to either one of them.

Hi keep_onwatch, I agree with you completely, it makes no sense at all. Hell was invented by those who want to control people through fear. There are those who would tell us that we have free will to choose but "do as I say or burn in hell", is not really a choice. In truth we know so little about the divine that the belief that God is love is often all that we have to go on. Blessings.

I have not come across anything in the bible that explicitly says that God created hell for humans or that he throws people into it for punishment of their sins or that the devil and his demons are the wardens of this subterranean world of torture. We can say he created it from the point of veiw that HE created all things and the devil does not have the power to create. All the false ideas have been invented over the years by various religious groups (including the religion called Christianity nowadays) to scare people away from sin.

Excellent Discussion!!! Your wisdom shows. Let's all look around us. Look at this world, it's people, animals, and universe.From where I stand, it's all pretty remakable. It takes high intellect to be able to create all this. Hmmmm??? Wouldn't such a Being be able to handle a few wayward children and angels as well without burning them alive??? There can be only one answer. God isn't who man has been telling you. Perhaps, it's time to discover the answers without following others.If you are going to just follow all your life, there is no telling where you will end up. Listen to the advice of others but walk your own path! Life's lessons are best learned that way!!

keep, God can do anything He likes, including a trash can for bad people.

God did not create hell for nothing. Yes,God is love,and he love His creation. I agree with your example,we can't see our kids being punished,or we can't ever punished our children bu burning them. But,we must see around us,the reason why God has to create hell for punishment. The law of judgement on earth is not a justified law. Some innocent were being punished due to injustice. Some were even killed/murdered/raped and justice is not being served or,the culprits are not punished at all. If there is no hell,where can those cruel criminals goes then? No Father wants to punish his son/kids/children. God also felt sad seeing his children driven by evil force. That is why,God sent His only Son to be an example,and it is our own freewill to decide which way to follow. God can direct us to the good path,we only need to follow every steps. God give us freedom and freewill,like how we discipline our own kids. We punish our kids for every mistake,so,they'll grow up into a good one. But,we cannot direct them to follow every word we advise them,becoz,they had their own mind and decision. That is how,we,human being were treated by our Father in heavens... It is our own choice,to be good,or to become bad.

He is not cruel.. but He has given us a lot of options... and then the decision is upon us.. if we choose wrong the He will reward us from heaven.. but what is for the cruel persons who dont care for the end and for anything.. God has made hell for those persons.. He will forgive our little sins but not the big ones.. those are not acceptable.. but if you really care about your end.. then you must study which is the rite religion in this world... and that is only the Islam.. and the fact is that except Muslims no other people can enter in the heaven.. if you dont believe you can research on Islam..

Hi keep_onwatch, i will not agree that god will create hell and he is going to punish because he is so merciful and he has forgiveness. I think the people has an habit of telling to others that if you do sin you will go to hell because human beings should have a fear to do sin not because the god will put us in hell. As a mother i will tell my child if you do sin you will definitely go to hell, if you do anything against god's wish you will be punished, god has eyes everywhere and he will be observing you from the heaven if you do good you can also go to heaven and meet our god or else you will punished in the hell. I will describe the hell in such a way he will get horrified for that. I know every mother will tell this to their children so this has become a routine one that "god will punish you and you will go to hell". because i want my son should not do any mistakes and he should be protected from doing sin and i want him to be under the presence of god, also i want to make a fear about the evil things. I didn't think there is really hell is existing. We can see hell in the present life itself not in the god side. Have a nice day. God bless you.

God loves us no matter who we are or what we are. I know you don't understand why God created Hell, but it goes like this. There was an angel in heaven called Lucifer. He thought he could do anything God could do. So he was kicked out of heaven. God made a place called Hell to hold Lucifer and all his followers. Example: We love our children, but if one of them rob a store, they have to be corrected. We have laws set up to protect us, therefore, that is why Lucifer was sent to Hell because God already knew he would try to take others with him. God loves us all, so he sent his son Jesus to die upon the cross for your sins and mine and everybody's, but he also requires that we repent and be born again. Not literally born again, but repent and ask the Lord into your heart to be your own personal Lord and Savior. Remember when children grow up and become an age to make their own choices? That is what God gives us, our choice, Heaven or Hell. Otherwise we would be run over by every evil thing on earth and in heaven if he did not make Hell. Heaven is a place where there is no sin and the devil called Lucifer had to be cast out to somewhere when God was ready to do away with him. I hope I have answered you and got you to understand what I am trying to say. Sometimes my words just don't come out right. Need more discussion please let me know. I will be glad to discuss more with you anytime you want. Here are some scriptures from the King James Version of the Bible that explains what I am trying to say. Matthew chapter 4 Verse 1 Matthew chapter 25 Verse 41 John chapter 8 and Verse 44 (There is a John and a 1 John in the Bible. This one is just John) James chapter 2 and Verse 19 James chapter 4 and Verse 7 1 Peter chapter 5 and Verse 8

Hi! God is all love as you said so He did not create hell. As humans, He gave us the right to choose and decide, it is a privilege that God has given us. Angels do not have this privilege. But then we abused this privilege and turn into wrongdoings. The more humans become bad, the faster hell has come. It is us who made hell, not God.

yes .. When I was in highschool my prof in Values told me that satan is also God .. I don't know but It's hard to believe what he says but I think God can only create a place like hell not to torture us but to teach us a lesson for being so naive .. and for not doing good in Land ..

for me God did not crated hell.. although we all know that God knows all.. I think God knows that all angels that wants to have more power will happen.. he knows all.. with God nothing is impossible.. so in our daily lives we must give our best shots everyday.. we don't know if we will be alive on the next day..haha we also know that no one is perfect.. but for me i think everybody is perfect because we are all created in the image of God.. the perfect person for me is the one who say sorry or giving forgiveness to those who sinned them and that the person called PERFECT

God created Hell for Satan and the other angels who rebelled. God loves us all, and does not want us to end up in Hell, so He sent His Son Jesus Christ to die for our sins. Accepting Jesus and asking for salvation and forgiveness for your sins will ensure that you do not go to hell...

Coming to an acurate knowledge of the Holy Scriptures is vital. Understanding the Bibical hell opens your eyes.

Hell was created for the devil and his angels, not for God's children. God's children are those who love and obey him. Mistakes are forgiven when one truly repents and asks for forgiveness.

well, i guess he can do anything to his creation. i know that he never want to put their creation to hell, but he had give us a warning and clue to save us from hell. it feels like hell is created to the real naughty of his creation.

God's mind is not the same like ours. Our minds are too shallow that we dont understand the ways of God sometimes. God's mind is too great, we cant even compare it in how we think just like thinking about how cruel God can be for making something like hell. There are things that God wants us to do but we dont do it, just like our parents they punish us, we get grounded if we dont do as they say.

You're "God" is NOT ONLY a god of love. IT is a god of hatred, disaster, evil and everything else bad. When a man who is good all his life commits a crime then he IS a criminal ! So you're "God" is basically EVIL. Once you realize that then there is no question right ?
