Why does hell exist?

[SkyWriting]

God is the Creator of all things. He loves everything He created, according to Genesis 1. But God hates Satan and demons and does not want anyone to live in the lake of fire that He created. I don't get it. My mom said a loving God would not create hell because He does not want people to suffer eternally, so she does not believe it exists. Why isn't this true?

She is correct. At the second death all of creation is reconciled unto God and Hell is destroyed along with death. Hell is where all non-believers are right now. In the original language, hell is a current condition, not a future place.

What does Mom think should be the fate of sinners who are not among the forgiven thanks to accepting Christ whose sacrifice on the Cross made salvation possible?

They are experiencing hell now. (After death the lack of beer will make hell much worse.)

I never knew you -
how God will see the cursed that go to the lake of fire

none will enter into the city
-but those that have their names written in the book of life

those that were not found written - cast into the lake of fire

The lake of fire will be littered with carcasses of wicked men. These bodies are not
going to rise and repent one day out of that lake of cursed beings.

1. If endless punishment be the “wages of sin,” could the sinner ever receive payment in full? (Rom. 6:23)
2. As man is a finite being, can he commit an infinite sin?
3. If man cannot commit an infinite sin, can he deserve endless punishment?
4. If one sin be infinite, can a million be any more?
5. If ONE sin be NOT infinite, can a million of sins amount to an infinite sin?
6. If sin be infinite, can one sin be greater than the other?
7. If sin be infinite, can it be true that, “where sin abounded grace did MUCH MORE abound?” --(Rom. 5:20)
8. If sin be infinite, can it ever be finished or brought to an end?
9. If ONE sin deserves an eternity of punishment, how much punishment will TEN sins deserve?

God has two groups of people in the future for eternity.

those with life.....those with His wrath abiding on them

The wickeds' carcasses are not going to get out of the lake of fire and eat from
the tree of life someday.

ten virgins - hour and day -end of the world
five foolish virgins -not ready -the door was shut

their worm will not die

not forgiven in this world------nor the world to come

if they shall fall away - impossible to renew them to repentance

one million years/any amount in the lake of fire -and it is still going to be impossible for them to gain entrance into the holy city

This is how I feel now, and I don't know what to do. I cry incessantly. I feel so far from God.

This is how I feel now, and I don't know what to do. I cry incessantly. I feel so far from God.

“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

NOTHING!

1. Not death.
   
   
2. Not life.
   
   
3. Not angels.
   
   
4. Not powers.
   
   
5. Not the present/ not the future.
   
   
6. No power.

Dear Hope: Take your tears and lean your head on His chest and say "I trust You."
