And by hell, I am talking about the belief that people will be separated from God forever, for eternity, and will be tortured for eternity with no end. NO HOPE of being reconciled to God. ever. No hope of their carnal man being burned off and being reconciled to God.

Please answer each question, honestly if you will:

1. Do you fear that any of your loved ones will go there?
2. Do you fear that your neighbors will go there?
3. Do you fear strangers going there? What about people you can't seem to like or people you have ill feelings towards, famoust people even, whatever...?

Hell is so horrible, I don't wish nor want to see not one person no matter how despicable by world standards he or she is, that is why I try to witness to people.

But haven`t you stated before that God has chosen most people to go there? That he actually created the overwhelming majority of men,women,and children knowing that just about all of them would go there?

Ok, one more thing before I leave...

Please guys, try not to blow this thread up into a huge debate.
I really do just want some quick answers. I have something that I'd like to bring up and seeing the different replies to my questions will help me to illustrate something that I think needs to really be focused on and discussed.

Thank you all...

have a great day..

I never said that and I would never say that because that is not in scripture. What I said is, I do believe God still created people knowing full well who would reject Him.

No human is going to be tormented forever in a burning "hell"... that fate is only reserved for Satan and the demons/fallen angels. God in all his mercy does not want any human to suffer eternal damnation that's why we are created mortal. God warns the wages of sin is death. He is talking about the second death in the Lake of Fire. In the future humans will be resurrected to face God in the Great White Throne Judgment... the saved will be given eternal life ...

Rev21 8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
