If people choose to go to hell or not, why does hell exist?

[BlackTempest]

"sure, i choose eternal torture god! after i prudently and sanely sign this heaven document sanctifying that i intentionally volunteered to go to hell! i'm ready to suffer for eternity! Thank you for letting me choose!"

said no dead soul ever


If your actions land you in hell, that's gods system of retribution, grossly different from choosing

[DrDeanCrosby]

I believe that hell is for almost all of its residents a slum housing development,established to provide residence for those who will not be morally and spiritually compatible with the residents in heaven; not a place of continuing torture.In fact the Bible mentions that only two people will be subjected to continuing punishment;the False Prophet and the Anti-Christ.

If you choose not to accept jesus then you will not go to heaven. What's so hard to understand

[Pikachu]

And yet you wouldn't want to choose anything different for the shame you'd have standing before God to be judged... Funny how that works.
