Then my opinion of Hell wouldn't matter at that point. Nor would it really matter now. What matters is making sure to the extent that I can that I am not one of those people.

I'm sure 100% that something that doesn't exist matters.

If it doesn't exist, then it doesn't matter. If it does exist, then it absolutely matters.

Matters to those who believe in it. It has a real impact on their imagination, and causes them to act accordingly.

Only we choose hell. God doesn't.

Are some of us living in hell now? Some are suffering now. Who knows.

Do you think that people do good things and treat each other better in an effort to avoid it?

It doesn't exist for one main reason, Corinthians 13.

.
There are two Books of Corinthians, which one are you speaking of and dont forget the verse.

While your at it, where does it speak of being spit out of his mouth?

1 Corinthians 13

My question is, can Jesus act any less than what's presented as love here?

Ask yourself this question:

"Would you want anyone to go to hell"

If hell was a real place of unending anguish, would you want them to be there.

Could you stand your children there
Could you stand your family there.
Could you stand your friends there.
Could you stand your enemies there.

And what if you end up in this place, is it fair to be there?

Would you not wanting anyone to go to hell include yourself?

and what are you doing about it.

We can only control what we have control of. God gives each person free will to choose. I recommend choosing using your free will since you have control over yourself.

no

Indeed, we need to care about our enemies and not only ones close to us, with whom we get along > "if you love those who love you, what reward have you?" Jesus says in Matthew 5:46.

Therefore, I need to not be unfair to myself, by refusing to trust in Jesus. Yes, you would be very unfair to yourself, to not trust in Jesus; and a human is very unfair if the person lies to people, by saying there is no hell so people can be fooled into going there. So . . . do not be so unfair!!!

Jesus suffered and died like He did, on Calvary, partly because Jesus knows if there is hell and He found it worthwhile to suffer like He did so we don't go there.

So, Jesus is so better than just being fair. Jesus left Heaven itself in order to reach us and share with us; so Jesus is not the one who is conceited. But yes there are people who consider themselves to be too good for Jesus, because of how Satan is so conceited and shares this with his children. So, each person needs to be humble and trust in Christ > Ephesians 1:12.

"Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you." (James 4:7)

I would. I would love to hear your opinion. I believe totally in the power of Christ. I fear hell, i love Jesus and i want heaven more than anything. I am a simple creature and love tjst my life is in God's wondrous hands.

Hi Lilly. Amen to loving Jesus.
Actually, my opinion isn't what matters. None of ours does. Whether hell is fair or not is not up for discussion before a holy and just God. And because God does not lie (only believers believing this), there is no "if" about hell's existence while also there is no need to fear hell for those who abide in Jesus Christ, through Whom God promises eternal life by faith in Him because of His grace. The thought of any loved one going to hell is part of what compels us to spread the gospel to them and to anyone as a Body of believers.

What matters is Jesus Christ was crucified because He gave Himself as the Ultimate Sacrifice in order that the sins of us who believe on Him be remitted, in order that we can be empowered as His children by faith to live what we believe by the cleansing affect (His Blood) of His Sacrifice given by the Father, and in order that we believers receive eternal life in eternity. In 1 Corinthians 1:18, Paul said this: "For the preaching of the cross is foolishness to those who perish; but to us who are saved, it is the power of God." What we as a unit of believers try to do is preach the cross to all because God's grace is available in even that way. So, those of us who did not believe could have opportunity to believe. The gospel is available through ridicule because it seems foolish to many unbelievers and also available through fellowship.

Phil 1:21 · Nov 29, 2017

The good thing about being born again is that this life is all the hell I will ever experience. The bad thing about not being born again is this life is all the heaven you will ever experience.

"Heaven isn't for good people; it's for forgiven people." - Greg Laurie

If hell exists it will impact more than their imagination. Yours and mine as well.

1 Corinthians 13 is the meaning/definition of love right? So if hell was real, it would dismiss the premise laid out there.

Our hope is in the Lord. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. We walk by faith not sight. This means we look toward heaven for our redemption and our help as well. Its hard to look toward heaven when you are instead looking toward hell. Let hope be your anchor.

We can only control what we have control of. God gives each person free will to choose. I recommend choosing using your free will since you have control over yourself.

How is it that it's believing that gets you out of hell? Imagine I committed a crime and the only way out of jail was to believe in the judges son.

This is the Christian message, no the judge doesn't need to examine the evidence first. He will immediately let you free, once it has been established you in fact love his son.

This is simply not moral to teach.

So are you looking for a way out of a place your God created..
