Debate: Would a benevolent God send people to hell?
Side: Yes, they rejected him

God took their place in death when He became a man to pay for the things they did breaking His law. He loved them so much that He died for them when they were criminal, lawbreakers, enemies of His. He has the right to leave them in Hell if they don't care that He gave Himself as the Son of God to die for them so they can be forgiven and have eternal life. If they end up burning in Hell forever, it's because they loved sinning for than they loved life and they got what they deserved because God is good.God is not a child watching an ant hill burn. He took the "fire" of dying on Himself so the ants could be saved from it. God is love, and He gave Himself as payment for those "ants" so they can be saved from the fire by His resurrection from the dead. You are rejecting what God did for you, so you are going to do for yourself what you are earning which is death and if you won't believe it and find yourself unable to get out of the fire, it will be nobody's fault but your own. Going against God the way you are can only lead to death, and God won't have any part of it and you will be left in Hell. You are making it that way for yourself. God loves you and wants you to be saved from it, saved from yourself, saved from your sins, saved from your death. God is offering you pardon, forgiveness of your sins, eternal life and you are doing all you can to trash God and in reality it is only you who is being trashed because that is what you are making yourself toward God...trashy.
Debate: Would a benevolent God send people to hell?
Side: Depends which hell

Depends on the definition of hell.ex. I've heard Jesuit Priests explain it as a separation. All of the brimstone and fire is not the physical description of the place itself, but a description of the sadness presumably a human faced with the "Truth" whatever that may be would feel upon learning of their separation. But there would not be eternal torture or anything. That is not incompatible at all I don't think. In fact if I learned I was wrong about everything and there really was a god and he happened to be the Christian one, honestly I don't wanna hang out with a bunch of Christians forever, so I'd choose the separation and they can go have fun playing boggle or whatever Christians would do in heaven.On the other hand. These born again holy roller types whom I despise believe in eternal torture.That is 100% incompatible.A human is not capable of causing enough mayhem and pain in their one short lifetime to merit an eternity of this kind of hell.If there is a god, and he made a real hell, he's kind of a douche bag and not worthy of praise, all powerful or not.

You are talking like a fool, with one foot in the grave and the other on thin ice melting over the fire of Hell if you believe it or not. You will be in Heaven forever or in Hell forever if you believe it or not. You sure will believe it when you get there. It's better to believe it now and seek God's mercy to be saved from it, but my guess is that you will go on into death saying God can't rule over or against you and you will wake up in Hell.

Dude, you need to understand what the word "God" means.You realize that whatever God there is, He is the God of all. He is the begining and end of all. When there's nothing, not even time or space, God is what is.You must realize that IF God exists, regardless of which religion He condones, you, I, anyone will have no clue what's going to happen for all of eternity. It's not going to be harps and clouds up there, don't be so juvenile in your thinking, expand your mind and open it up. There is going to be so much more. If God created all of this, than this is scarcely a taste of what God can do for us for the rest of eternity.Do you enjoy doing anything a lot. I mean is there something you enjoy so much, you could do it for your whole life and not get bored. Are there several things you could do that would keep you well inspired throughout your whole life, not worrying about the need for money or tranportation. Well imagine, it exists on this earth and this earth is only a taste, not even a full glimpse of what is possible within the realm of the God who is the begining and end of all, who is the authority behind existence itself.I guarantee, it doesn't matter who goes there with you. It doesn't matter in an MMO because we all just have fun, and in heaven, it's not going to matter either. Don't think so narrowly, realize what it really is that you're saying.

You talk like a dirty minded foul mouth pervert. My guess is that you are going to wake up in Hell, but I could be wrong about that. You could believe on Jesus and be saved, but I doubt that you will. You really think you are something, it seems. What a foul mouth fool you are. I hope you prove me wrong, but I think you are going to find yourself burning in Hell with no way out.

"A human is not capable of causing enough mayhem and pain in their one short lifetime to merit an eternity of this kind of hell." How do you know that standing up to a God doesn't merit eternal suffering? Remember, assuming there is a God that created absolutely everything in existence (maybe even God itself facepalm), you cannot judge the righteousness or virtue of it's actions. God defines what is right and wrong, after all. You don't know that suffering for eternity would be infinitely better than other things that God could put you through...
Debate: Would a benevolent God send people to hell?
Side: No, it's incompatible

"God defines what is right and wrong, after all."If you believe there is a difference between right and wrong... let me ask you this. Is that difference due to God's fiat... or is it not? If it is due to Gods fiat, then for God himself there is no difference between right and wrong, and it is no longer a significant statement to say that God is good. If you are going to say, as theologians do, that God is good, then that means right and wrong have some meaning independent of God's fiat... because God fiats are good and not bad independently of the mere fact that he made them. If you are going to say that, you will then have to say that it is not only through God that right and wrong came into being... but they are in their essence logically anterior to God.
Debate: Would a benevolent God send people to hell?
Side: Yes, they rejected him

Right and Wrong have nothing to do with whether or not god is good. Right and wrong are values for the quality of means. Good and bad are values of virtue in the end results. Sometimes the right thing is not a good thing.  Also, I don't understand how you can say that if right and wrong only exist because of god's fiat, it makes no difference to god. Please explain.
Debate: Would a benevolent God send people to hell?
Side: No, it's incompatible

By that same logic how do you know what defines standing up to God? You say that God defined right and wrong but you nor anyone else knows what that is. "You don't know that suffering for eternity would be infinitely better than other things that God could put you through..." That represents the heart of the matter. Neither do you or anyone else. From a metaphoric position no one knows if sticking your hand in the fire will get you burned. The idea of going through life constantly worried about what action could be considered as sin or not is Hell on Earth. If God were set upon exercising such draconian punishments on us I am sure I would not miss the separation from someone I am obviously separated form now.

As I understand Hell, there's no redemption once you're in Hell, is that correct? You're in there for eternity, there's no "get out of jail free" cards anymore. So you can repent your ass off once you're there, and God won't care anymore.That seems like a pretty harsh punishment for peeking a look at your neighbour's wifes arse (coveting :P), or for swearing at your parents when they're being unreasonable. You're sorry for telling your girlfriend her new haircut looked good five minutes before you were run over by a truck and killed, but God doesn't care, because you have borne false witness, and now you've got to burn. Not at all benevolent IMO.

Yes, this is generally the accepted case, but when Jesus was living, he actually visited Hell. He never said why and it is not known why. Infinite mercy people, thats what it was.
Debate: Would a benevolent God send people to hell?
Side: Yes, they rejected him

It's correct that within the orthodox Christian faith reduced to "doctrine" there is no more redemption possible in Hell. However, you're assuming that you can "repent your ass off" in Hell, and that is ruled out also, making the question whether or not God cares moot.As I understand Christian theology and human nature, having studied both for many years, both Heaven and Hell are the individual's particular experience of God, and one is in one state or the other based strictly on that experience. If one experiences the perfect, unconditional love of God now as something odious, or even evil, where is there any reason at all to suppose that the future intensification of that experience is going to change from abhorrance to joy? Reason should compel us to expect no such change. I hate liver now, and have no reason whatsoever to conclude that eating liver at every meal will somehow change my abhorrance for liver. Rather, I have every expectation that the more liver I eat, i.e., the more intensified my experience of liver becomes, the more I'll come to hate liver.Similarly, if God's love is abhorrant to us at the moment of our death, a fuller experience of that love will only make it more abhorrant to us later, and the longer that experience endures, the more abhorrant it will become to us. This, then, is Helll, and our continuing and intensifying abhorrance of God's love is our everlasting torment. The idea that we are eternally punished for some temporal act in which we engage is nonsense; the strawman of shallow and/or lazy atheists who won't or can't take the time to find out what is actually Christian dogma and what isn't; who would rather engage in caricatures of the Christian God than with the actual Christian God. God is the same regardless of how anyone may experience Him, by any definition the one logically necessary example of "objective reality", which should confirm for any critical thinker that our experience of God depends upon us, not Him, from which it necessarily follows our being in Heaven or Hell depends upon us, not Him as well.

You're pretty up what sin is. The problem of sin is that it does not only add up to couple of petty offenses. The problem of sin is what those petty offenses are an indication of what's really evil. The evil people of our world are an example of what sin REALLY is when you let it get out of control:Hitler was murdering groups people. When he was a kid it looked like the general 'innocent' lying and stealing, but look what happened when he grew up? That's the type of evil that all sin is. Thank God that the majority of people actually have a WANT to be good: but imagine if we didn't have the standards of __ is wrong?That neighbor who was just peeking one day would end up raping his neighbor the next week. This isn't a very uncommon occurrence is there? It happens on the news all the time.The swearing at your parents when you were a kid was just mild rebellion: but what happens when one day that kid lets all his rage and indifference for his parents consume him? Kids kill their own parents all the time too.That lying about your lovers whatever looked all nice and innocent then: but what happens when you start lying about sleeping that that other person? So many situations can sprout out of that type of deceit: STDs, pregnancy?But it all looked all nice and petty and natural when you first started talking about it. But people don't realize that sin itself looks more innocent than it actually turns out to be.But I love how people like to think that a 'lesser evil' argument works: becasue evil itself isn't evil period: it comes in LEVELS of evil.

A benevolent God would send people to hell but not for the reasons stated in your argument. Good Vs. Evil if you are good you go to Heaven , Bad you go to hell. Its not how you worship its if you worship. I will not give my opinion as to what is good or evil at this time.

Why would god want to send people to Michigan? [1]And if he has, its only been like 266 people. What's all the fuss about?"Hell, Michigan is an unincorporated community in Putnam Township of Livingston County in the U.S. state of Michigan. The community is near the border with Washtenaw County, about 15 mi northwest of Ann Arbor. Hell is situated five miles (8 km) west of Pinckney via Patterson Lake Road. The community is served by the Pinckney post office with ZIP Code 48169. The unofficial population is 266."

You will have to vote me down again, as some silly soul voted me back up.

If you claim that your or someone else's god is kidnapping people and sending them to some other Hell other than Hell, MI., I'd like some proof of that. Otherwise, lots of people here are just being dumb-asses.

Infinite punishment for a finite crime is not supported under any civilized Justice system. If God was just he would recognize this, but according to the Bible he does not. The only crimes deserving of infinite punishment are murder and child abuse. As anyone with sin still in them at the time of death goes to hell for all eternity, then people who forget that when they were six they stole a cookie from the jar will be going straight to Hell.What a ridiculous idea. Kinda like the idea of God actually.

Debate: Would a benevolent God send people to hell?
Side: No, it's incompatible

This topic itself is problematic because it assumes that terms such as "god" and "hell" are meaningful.But suppose one accepts that these terms are meaningful within the frame of reference of religions such as Christianity and Islam.Then, assuming that there is a god, and that he is all-just, all-good and basically, all-everything, then it doesn't make sense that this all-loving god would send anyone to hell.It's an obvious contradiction -- benevolence vs the malevolence of hell.Which could imply that we could simply square the circle by proclaiming therefore that the idea of an all-benevolent god sending people to hell is absurd and that therefore such beliefs are not very meaningful in the first place.
Debate: Would a benevolent God send people to hell?
Side: You Have A Choice

However, despite the fact that it seems that way, we exist. Do you honestly in your own heart truly believe that it happened as a circumstantial accident? I mean really, do you honestly believe that?And it's only contradictory if we were never actually given the freedom of choice between right and wrong because then we'd all be guiltless because we did not decide of our own volition to sin.However, we do have a choice, and always have since we were barely old enough to contemplate right and wrong.So even standing to reason, since we have a choice, then those that choose to do wrong anyway must have some sort of judge. And since sin is disobedience to the will of God, as would make sense, God would not be able to tolerate sin in the afterlife because to disobey God would mean to set yourself up as God when you don't have the needed wisdom or knowledge, nor does all existence exist through you, so it's not your place to be God, well at least, not the God of all, which is the only real God there is.So, it stands to reason as well, that if we are given a choice and God cannot tolerate sin, then there must be a place to go for all those who decided to be their own gods. Well, it says in the bible that outside there will be the gnashing of teeth. Well, we Christians know that outside to be the lake of fire and brimstone, but those are human terms. You say that a benevolent God cannot send people to hell, and that it's a contradiction of benevolence, but if God cannot tolerate sin where are people to go that choose to sin anyway? Where's the judgment? Well, maybe they just won't be let into heaven and hell doesn't even exist. Well, perhaps hell and those human terms of fire and brimstone are the tangible explanations of what it means to be thrown out of heaven and to be completely severed from God without hope of redemption. You see, in this life we've never been severed from God, so we can't really know what it means to be thrown out of heaven, maybe by mercy for our ignorance of what we are really doing when we decide to do what we know is wrong, or maybe mercy because we may not have sinned without Satan having tempted us to begin with, which brought on all the confusion, or who knows.However, before you are so convinced by your own wisdom and knowledge that has only been accumulated over the last 100 or so years at best, make yourself ready. Do the research necessary and learn. Ask this being of all existence for guidance so you will find this being before this time of choice is finished, (i.e. you die).Do not force yourself between a rock and hard place that you'd have to lie to get out of when this being asks, or rather shows you how you came to your conclusions and what you honestly did before you finally reached your conclusions that you now live your life by.
