If Jesus died to forgive us, then why is there a Hell?

And it should not be considered a place?

Not in this context because not everyone that dies goes to the grave. Some are cremated. Some die without being buried or cremated. You argue that it's a figurative statement, but there are the other direct translations that I've already mentioned for the word that obviate your take on it.

Ever store your data in the cloud, Blue? Where is it? Those who have died are in God's memory. We call it a place because it makes sense. Well, to me, anyway.

I already covered your figurative approach.

Good for you

Thank you very much.

ALL ALLMOST NEVER MEANS ALL (IN THE CARNAL SENSE)
Matt 5:14-16
14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

Matt 6:33-34

XXX All is a figure of speech. We can see that to Jesus all was all those that God had given Him. Which is all those who become Christians and are born again. All those that follow Jesus' example.

So much for only posting on your own threads.

Hell was created when Lucifer, once God's most decorated angel, decided he can overpower God. Lucifer was cast out of heaven thus the creation of hell. God is one entity described by 3. God, Holy spirit, and Jesus. Jesus, God in human form, has witnessed all the crimes committed by humans up to Jesus's death. His death was to wash away all of our sins regardless of fault at the time, and God gave us all a clean slate by starting with no sins prior to our birth. Because of Adam we were born in sin. When Jesus died, all of our sins has been forgiven. God gave his son so we will be clean of sin. Meaning God loves us and wants us to be pure and clean and holy so that we may go to Heaven. But if you sin, you won't go directly to hell. You'll meet the devil and he will take you there.

어떻게 그런 예날 신화가 실재로 오해하나요? 증거가 없어서...이상하나요.

Do you understand God? God gave us free will. He will not care at the moment if you decide to commit a sin. He will allow you to live your life as free as you want.
Only at the gates of Heaven will he judge you. This isn't what I'm preaching, just information from millions of believers in this world. What you choose to do with the information is upon you and you alone. Listen to your own advise hypocrite.

If you want to convince me of something, show me some evidence.



"advice." How am I being a hypocrite? Do you know the meaning of the word?

There is a hell because God is a holy God who cannot tolerate sin and where people choose to go by rejecting Jesus Christ's offer of salvation. God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross in order to take the punishment for our sin. It's only as we personally acknowledge Jesus as our Saviour that we receive salvation and we begin to experience a whole new life as a child of God where we know that our sin is forgiven and we will have a place in heaven when we die - however God gave each of us free will so we choose!

I believe God loves us very much and does greatly care if we sin - while we are alive we have opportunity to come to him and be forgiven and he will give us a new life - that is what being born again means - we can start our life all over again with our past forgiven and now we can be reconciled to God because of what Jesus has done - God loves you more than you could ever imagine and he has a perfect plan for your life which will start to be fulfilled when you come to him

"Sin" pretty much is a human doing something that offends your god.

Why doesn't your god simply stop being offended by so much that we do...by damn near everything we do except for kissing its ass?

There is no eternal punishment because God is a merciful God who would never assign infinite punishment for finite sin.

So, a death sentence is temporary?

Ouch!

Do you really believe a God capable of bringing the entire universe and us into existence would have such delicate sensibilities that he would be deeply affected by wrong acts we humans could do? That puts an entirely wrong spin on the situation.

If he is affected at all, it would have to be out of concern that we are missing the point he'd like us to see. The only thing he could not 'tolerate' would be other eternal beings endowed with powers like his own who lacked the maturity to handle it. That is the justification for death/hell as far as I can tell.
