Why does hell exist?

Answer 1

hell exists because many people have sins and don't go to church so they at least go away so they don't have a place to got to heaven/the place after some people die[the good world]so they do to hell.......get it.?

Hell exists as a punishment for Satan and his deamons. When the human race became sinful, He ordained it as a punishment for us. Through His infinate mercy, He sent His only son, Jesus, to redeem us. Going to church does not make you go to heaven, and not going does not make you go to hell. All you must do is accept Jesus as Lord of your life and believe that God raised Him from the dead, and you will go to heaven, not hell.

Does hell exist, probably. Why Hell, see bottom of comment.

Summary of evidence of Hell's existence: There is scientific evidence that the center of the earth is constructed like Hell. There are stories of people returning from hell when they have been at death's door, and there is spiritual evidence of it in The Bible and elsewhere.

In the Bible, hell is said to be the center of the earth. For example, in the New Testament it says Jesus will be in the "heart of the earth" for 3 days (reference: "the sign of Job prophecy"). According to people who talked with Him after His Resurrection, he did exactly this.

20th Century science proves that the earth's center is surrounded by a "lake of fire". You would think that the earth's center would be dead, solid rock, and cold. But the exact opposite is true. According to the Bible, hell is described as a lake of fire. It is located in the "heart of the earth". How could the Bible, written before Science discovered this, know this?

Why Hell?

God's perspective: how do I get rid of a persistant disease / plague and decontaminate the environment? God considers "sin" to be such a disease (it destroys people and their relationships). In a plague, you first provide medicine to those who can be salvaged from the disease. For those who are "unsalvageable", you must isolate these people from the healthy ones and send to a place to die of their disease. So Hell is God's final isolation ward for those who are beyond help. And those who are "free of the plague" (sin), live in the place without contamination (heaven). Common sense solution, isn't it?

God desires that we be healed. That's why Jesus came. He is the cure for the disease called sin. According to stories by "baptised people" who have made the trip to hell and back, Jesus, like a good Shepard, rescued them when they called out his name for help.

Why fear? Why fear contagious diseases? Depends of your perspective. Ignorance can be bliss. However, deadly diseases such as cancer, plague, sin, diptheria, polio, etc. will do you in, if you don't receive the proper medicine and care. Further, if you are sickly, and past the point of cure, then you will be sent to the isolation ward so that others are not contaminated.

Jesus heals our sins, so there is a cure. When you turn to Jesus for salvation, you will receive the cure. You may also experience a "peace that surpasses all understanding", if you are annointed by God's Holy Spirit. Many Christians have experienced this presence of God.

There is no need to end up in the isolation ward. Talk to a priest, minister, or pastor if you what to learn more.

Answer:

Hell is "A state of separation from God; exclusion from God's presence." We choose to be separated from God, this is why hell exists.

If you can imagine a big city like New York without any good in it, no kindness, no giving, no smiles, no joy...at all...that is close to hell, but not complete. Because all good things come from God, hell means to be separated from ALL that is good.

It is not a punishment because you were not good enough in life, it is a choice. The one and only God is a just God. When we do things to separate ourselves from Him, he honors our choice. Yet, God wants to be with each one of us because He still loves us so much, no matter how many things we have done to walk away from Him. So, we need someone to "save" us from these choices we have made. Jesus came to pay for those bad choices with his life, even though he never made a bad choice. If we choose to believe that Jesus did this, our relationship with God is restored and we can start experiencing the very real joy and peace of heaven here on earth way before death.
to scare people We have a choice in all we do ,think ,say etc. God wishes us to glorify him and go to Heaven, Satan wishes us to glorify him and go to Hell, the choice is yours.

Answer 2

Hell only exists if there is a God, who can ordain punishment for those who don't believe in him, and perhaps also for those who do wrong. It seems strange that a God would provide a terrible and eternal punishment merely for not believing what has never been proven. This was really just a way of creating fear among the common people so that they would unthinkingly believe whatever their religious leaders say.
Apart from the lack of any evidence for the existence of God, there is no evidence for hell. It simply does not exist.

Answer 3

Hell exists because of the wisdom and justice of God.
We hold it to be evident that an infinitely wise Creator, whose wisdom is vastly manifest (for example) in the wonders of our bodies, would not be so unwise as to neglect unfinished business. If a tyrant "escapes judgment" by swallowing a painless poison, to our mind it is axiomatic that his tribulations have just begun. God is just (Deuteronomy 32:4).

The existence of a spiritual place or places in which the souls of the dead are treated in accordance with their behavior when alive (reward or punishment), is a tradition of mankind, which finds expression (in differing details) in various religions. It cannot be conclusively proven as long as we're alive; and that's the whole point: God tests us as to whether we will live in a way that demonstrates that we're aware of His presence, even though His presence is not readily visible.See also:

Answer 4

Hell is often depicted as a place of punishment or torment in various religious beliefs. It serves as a deterrent for individuals to lead moral and righteous lives, based on the consequences they may face after death. Different religions have varying interpretations of hell and its purpose in the afterlife.
