I've asked this question a lot, and get different answers. I, admittedly have not read the entire Bible. My question is, How could God separate parents from their children by allowing , lets say, the parents into heaven, but not their adult children? I know I wouldn't want to be thinking of my children being tortured forever while I'm sleeping in, riding lions, and eating chocolate.
Some people say you will not be bothered by that a bit because you'll be so happy in heaven. Others say the Bible says we will not know our loved ones when separated, while still others say the Bible says we will know our loved ones. I also hear that it is stated in the Bible that God would not separate us from our loved ones. So, wouldn't anyone who believes that last statement also believe that no one will go to hell? Unless an entire family would be going to Heaven or hell, that is.
Some people have told me scriptures upholding what they believe, but, if I don't write them down, I forget them. Can you shed some light on this question? Please, and thank you.
Scripture teaches that those who have faith in Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior will enjoy eternal life in His presence. Those who put their faith in anything other than Christ Jesus will suffer eternal torment – separation from Him.

True this is what the Bible teaches us. There is verse in Psalms, can't remember where, but it says we will not remember our loved ones in hell. Which makes since, how could we be joyful if we know what's happening to them.

I agree completely. Humans are given free will.
I am sorry that there will be those who will be lost in hell, but it is a matter of choice. Final decisions are eternal decisions and that is what heaven and hell are all about.
Since there are those who do not want God, his love, goodness, kindness, and favor...He will not force them to take it. But the only alternative is to be separated from Him in eternity. It's a choice.

So, will some souls go to Heaven and some to Hell, in your opinion?
Hmm, to be honest, Jess5, I haven't really figured out this hell thing yet.
I somehow have the feeling that hell could not be any worse and scary than that created by some humans right here on Earth among us all.

Do you all agree that no one will know their loved ones in Heaven? And, there's nowhere in the Bible that states that God would not see his children torn apart from their earthly families?
