[QUOTE="~Anastasia~, post: 76137333, member: 343500"] Hell is for the demons - the angels who knew God and rebelled against and rejected Him. And there have been very different ideas of what “hell” is than the Dante-esque ideas many people accept today. God as understood by ancient Christianity makes a lot more sense than what some very vocal groups today teach. It’s true - a “god” who creates human beings for the purpose of sending them into eternal torment would be a monster. That isn’t the way the early Christians understood God. And it hardly aligns with a God who IS agape-love, as we are told He is. Yes, a person can reject God. It’s not a matter of head-belief as many teach. It’s a real rejection of who God really is. I don’t know if anyone will. I guess some people really are that twisted to evil. But even those God has mercy on. Their condition would be one of their own making, their suffering of their own being who they are in the face of who God really is. God will spare them as much as possible, because He still loves them. That is why they will suffer - because they hate Him and He loves them anyway. [/QUOTE]
