I was wondering does God remember people in Hell?
I was watching a few videos on the topic...

One said in her experience when she went to hell and she couldn't feel anything.. no love, comfort...nothing

and it made me wonder if God still remembers the souls of those in Hell.

and if he does how does He resist trying to save/help them?

Well God is all knowing but he doesn't care if they are suffering. When you throw your garbage in the dumpster do you worry about it afterwards?

The people in Hell are God's trash.

That isn't true. God wants no one to perish, so much that He sent His only Son to die for us, so that as many as possible could come to Heaven. That is why He gives us Grace. Jesus did not have to do that.

If God didn't care then everyone would already be in Hell. He would have saved no one during the Flood and sent everyone to Hell, then created a new Creation. He is instead working constantly to call everyone to His Son, wanting no one to perish. I believe that God suffers immensely when someone chooses Hell over Heaven. They accept spiritual death on Earth and eternal death in Hell instead of choosing Jesus, who is perfect in every way and who gives them abundant life and eternal life, because of their rebellious, sinful nature. Just seeing that must hurt His heart, because God is love. It hurts my heart too, which comes from His Spirit.

God is a healer and a deliverer. He is the God who saves. It is not His fault that people choose to do what is evil.

IF this is true, why did the god you speak of create the Hell fire that few will escape? Why not just allow the people destined to hell, to not be born, if he can know the end, that is? How is saving anyone during the flood a good thing knowing that most after will burn in fire? Wouldnt it have been better if everyone was just eliminated? How are you saying any of this hurts him when He could change any of if but chooses not to? When things dont make sense.....there is usually a reason. "God's trash," mentioned by the previous poster, seems to be in line with the god you describe...

Why, actually, is it necessary to define the specific conditions of hell? Jesus was pretty terse on the details of the conditions of hell, and that doesn't seem to have been a question asked by the congregations planted by the Apostles.

It seems to me that only an unbeliever would care about the details.

Here are my thoughts on it. God created Angels in Heaven before He created Earth and then us. They have free will, if they didn't, Satan and his angels couldn't have rebelled. But they don't have the kind of free will that man has. So God created man to become rulers over Earth, in His likeness, for fellowship with Him, lower than the Angels, but we will be ruling over them in Heaven in our glorified bodies. But God does not want automatons, Psalm 32:9, but living people who will be able to receive His wisdom and be righteous like Him. So He gave Adam and Eve a choice, and they chose to listen to a lie and be led to sin. He allowed humanity to fall, and He then put the curse on us, which is our punishment for our rebellion. Mankind does not reject God because of who God is, but because we choose to sin and be our own gods, and we cannot have Him and still sin, because He is 100% righteous, good and holy. But He is also merciful and gracious and compassionate. He redeems us from the curse when we repent and allow Jesus to be the Lord over our lives, which isn't burdensome but easy. Because that is the kind of worshipers that God wants to come to Him in Heaven, those who choose Him and reject the selfish, sinful nature. Those who choose to become like Him, like the image of His Son Jesus Christ, who choose truth over lies and who choose righteousness over sin.

But God gives US this choice. We get to choose Heaven or Hell. Yes, it is predestined, and He has chosen us, but it still depends on us whether we accept Him or not. But the wages of sin is death, and the price must be paid either way. So we either pay the price ourselves, or we allow Jesus to be our Lord and He paid the price for us.

God sent His only Son because He loves us, to save the world, not to condemn the world. The world has already condemned itself, but Jesus redeems us, because He loves us.

When we look at how much we Christians go through in this life just to get ready for Heaven, all the suffering we endure and the refinement we go through, and how worth it it is in the end, just to conform us to the image of Christ and make us righteous and holy like Him, we can see how fallen we are in our sinful state, and how much Higher God is than we are. Our sins in this life doesn't only affect us, it affects everyone around us, in negative ways. We hurt people, even by only speaking against God, it hurts people, because it could lead another person away from Him. God HAS TO punish that, because that is justice. Sin isn't innocent, it is evil. People are crying out to Him day and night, asking Him to deliver them from evil, whether it is satan or people, and that is only because God's creations are choosing to rebel against Him, and hurt others instead of coming to God and be set free. Of course there will be eternal punishment for that. Because we live this life for eternity, either eternal life or eternal death. That is why the Gospel is so important. God loves us! We wouldn't be here if He didn't. But of course Hell hurts Him, as much as their sins are hurting Him. Of course He would rather see them choosing Him and coming to Heaven. The Bible says that the Angels rejoice when one sinner is saved, and that the Shepherd will leave 99 sheep just to find that one lost sheep. That is how much God loves us! And He never stops calling people. He has put it in my heart to make sure that people I talk to at least get a glimpse of who He is and know what choice that they are making, so that they aren't walking in this life blindly. Whether they repent or not, Heaven or Hell, that is their choice.

This is a sensitive conversation, but I will always answer the questions asked.

The first thing you need to know, is there are two "hells". Which many get confused, Hell that exists now is for people that did not chose Jesus Christ as their savior while they lived and the evil people that never would and is just a prison. Some people in Hell right now just were born in areas that never heard about God or Jesus, so they went to hell because of ignorance rather then being evil. So God has not forgotten these people, and they will be helped while some have already been helped. After Jesus died, he went down to Hell and taught those there about himself and God, then those that chose him follow him to Heaven. Not many know what he did for the three days he was dead before he rose again, but that is where he was. There is no fire or burning, the torment of Hell is knowing you are not in the presence of God while the other souls and angels are but you do not know what is going to happen to you.

1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
1 Peter 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
1 Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.


The second time those in Hell will have a chance is at the end when Jesus returns, all those in Hell will be brought to Earth at that time and given a chance to learn the truth by Jesus and the Saints. Those that follow Jesus will have eternal life, those that do not will go to the Lake of Fire, which is the second hell that people confuse the prison with.

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.


Now the Lake of Fire, which some call Hell, is not a prison at all. It is for those that were judged to be evil and God destroys them, they are not remembered and none of us will remember them. This is called the second death, the first death is of your flesh and the second is your soul. The Word says "it will be as if they never existed", their souls will be destroyed to nothingness and all memory of them will be gone in the new Heaven and new Earth of eternity.

Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.


Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

Wait, what...? I never heard that before. That could be a lot of people...

And it's not as if Hell will be sending us their best and brightest.

What if we built a wall and got Hell to pay for it?

You would have to ask Him on this, but it might be so. As for helping them, what would you have Him do? All those in Hell didn’t want Him. They rejected goodness and all that His dwelling is. Shall He put all those who hated goodness together to make it better for them? Can you see a room full of selfish people will not be without suffering?

No books have been open.. no great white throne judgment so... ANYTHING talked about is just speculation. I take stories of hell with a grain of salt.

No one as far as I can read that is dead is being punished or on fire.. to then be taken out to then be judged to then be put back in? Waiting for that great white throne judgement. So..

God will know of them. Their torments will be turned into an object of praise unto God for ever and ever. They will become sort of entity that will return glory to God for ever.
Hell was made for Satan and the falling angels, Guess we could say the lake of fire (this is the ultimate hell) This is the hell after Judgement (the punishment hell) But those who disobeyed God will be added to this lake that will burn with fire for ever and ever.
Revelation 20:10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Matthew 25:41 King James Version (KJV)
41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
Remember the whole earth or universe is a micro component with God the whole of hell will not be any bigger. The fire burning will give rising smoke to give glory to God
Revelation 4:11 ESV / 34 helpful votes
“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”
Psalm 148:1-14 ESV / 9 helpful votes
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights! Praise him, all his angels; praise him, all his hosts! Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all you shining stars! Praise him, you highest heavens, and you waters above the heavens! Let them praise the name of the Lord! For he commanded and they were created. ...
Revelation 19:2-3 King James Version (KJV)
2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great harlot, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

all creation will praise God if you don't do it now you will do it in hell.
Revelation 14:11 King James Version (KJV)
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

Hell and its occupant will become an entity of praise. may be they will be crying and praising and praying to God but the summation of their cry will amount to praise to God (rising Smoke ). The best of their cry and wailing will not be more that the waves of the sea because their cry can no longer move God. There will be no more redemption .
A stone can not ask God why have you created me a stone neither can a dog ask why have you made me a dog. All creation are created for his pleasure. So hell when formed cannot say why have you left us in hell. He did not put any one in hell but men by their own choosing chose to go to hell. Hell was created for Satan and the fallen angels.

I believe that God cares about the lost in hell and loves them but can’t take them to heaven because they rejected Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour. Luke 16:19-31 gives us Christ’s account of the rich man in hell and Lazarus in Abraham’s bosom. I grieve over their lost condition, but there is no second chance.

Hell is the Grave, all those who die go there to sleep. Their thoughts cease and they have no more part in this world.

All you have to do is read over the threads about this subject--each verse you put up is disproved.
Read the verses carefully, without preconceived notions----this says the smoke of their torment ascendeth for ever and ever. Light something and watch the smoke--it goes up-and up and up and disappears. It goes up long after the source of the fire has died out.
It is endless death---not endless dying. God is just. merciful, loving. The sinner pays the price He set at creation---death.
They shall have no rest day nor night forever and ever.
Revelation 14:11
11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

They do not die and cease to exist they are tormented day and night for eternity with no rest. This is the second death.

Everything about the first earth will be done away with---including hell.
Rev 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

2Sa 22:9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
