The Bible doesn’t teach us hell exists..but it does teach us Satan rules the world. Man has a choice to follow him or follow God. That’s what the Bible teaches us.
Here are 2 in depth Bible studies about it. Everyone says they’re misinterpretations but no one can use the Bible to prove any differently…I believe the Bible. Several Bible versus refer to a lake of fire…but then one of them even says hell will be thrown into the lake of fire so how can hell be thrown into hell? It can’t. Hell is a doctrine taught by men trying to get rich. The original Hebrew and Greek words that hell is derived from mean, more or less, trashed, incinerated in the garbage dump or completely dead in the ground.
From dust you came and to dust you will return!
Job 34:10 (book of Job in the Bible)
Therefore, YOU men of heart, listen to me.
Far be it from the [true] God to act wickedly,
And the Almighty to act unjustly!

yeah, Hell exists.
God won’t send you to Hell for jacking off or stealing. God created Hell for his children that chose not to follow him, and follow Satan instead; therefore, no matter how much crap you do, if you believe in your heart that Jesus died on the cross for your sins and took them away, and if you believe in Him (that he is real), confess your sins, and pray to ask God to save you, you’re not going to Hell. The thing is; when you are Christian, you should act like a Christian (guilt is God’s punishment, nothing more), because the more you sin, the farther you get from God, and the more likely you are to turn to Satan (you’d still be saved if you were saved, but judgment day would NOT be fun or joyous. You’d be very guilty, more guilty than you’d ever been, and it would suck…).
As for the whole Why did God create Hell thing….he created Hell when he banished Satan from the Garden of Eden and sent him there. It was the place he created so that all of his children who CHOSE (note this word) to turn from Him would get what they chose; an eternity away from God completely, and if there is no God, there is no light, no pleasure, no happiness; just pain, misery, and, in short, Hell.
So: It’s not like God looks down on a person who’s robbing a bank and says “GO TO HELL, YOU EVIL BEING!”. He probably says something around the lines of “Let the message change you” or something to that effect (cause Jesus is God’s son and that’s a lot like how he talked, I think.). If that guy who robbed the bank goes to jail and meets a guard who teaches him about God and then the guy gets saved, then he would go to heaven still. If he was let out of jail and robbed the bank again, God would be saddened, but the guy would not go to Hell. He would just be put in jail for a very, very, very long time, and feel like he is in Hell.
Our loving God does not send us to Hell; we send our selves. God created Hell as the alternative, the only alternative, to an eternity basking in his light and walking streets of gold, and as a place for the most evil thing to exist. Hell does exist.
Answer by mary ann dThat hell doesn’t exist. Look around you. Do you see a world brimming with happiness and loving kindness? Do you feel the perfection of this world? Do you see God anywhere? The sensation of being distant and separated from God and that we are separated as many different individual people is a form of hell. In this world we are so far from God that we don’t even have a perception, or any sensation that he exists. This doesn’t mean that He does not exist, only that He is absent from our perception. He is hidden from us as is our sensation of others as our self. The cause of this is that we only feel our self and own self interest. His love for us is such that he wants us to to turn to Him willingly and ask him with all our heart and all our mind and all our might to show us how to know Him, but before He can show us His face we must realize our correct relation and connection with others. The method to know Him and feel the true reality has been given to us in this world and all we have to do is want to take it in our hand and proceed.

Answer by SkyGod is loving, but God is just.
Think of God sending someone to hell like this:
A man has committed a serious crime. He stole $ 1,000,000 dollars from a Swiss bank through the United States government. He goes to court.
Theif: I won’t do it again! I promise!
Judge: That doesn’t matter. You stole and now you must pay for you actions!
Theif: But I gave the money that I got to the AIDS charity!
Judge: But was it your money to give? ABSOLUTELY NOT! You will pay for 20 years in prison.
Would a just judge let the man go? NO! If God is a just God, he must punish his creation if they break His holy Law. (The Ten Commandments)
God Created hell for the devil and his “angels”. When Adam ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, He disobeyed God and was no longer perfect. That means that adam had to die.
When Moses was given the Ten Commandments and the rest of the law, man had to try and follow that in order to get to heaven. If they broke it (all did), then they had to make a sacrifice for their sin. This “covered” their sins.
When Jesus came to earth, lived a sinless life, and died on the cross, he was the “ultimate sacrifice”. This meant that no more animal sacrifice was needed because Jesus was the Lamb of God. Now, when people sin, they repent of their sins, and Jesus’ blood “washes” it away. If your sins are repented for, Jesus’ blood makes that connection between you and the Father. Then you can go to heaven.
Hell is a very real place. My mom has a friend who was confirmed dead. A few hours later (after MUCH praying) this man was brought back to life. He wrote a book about it. He WENT to hell.
I hope this helps you.
