if your music is so bad that the devil plays it in hell to torture people, does that mean the musician has to go there by default?

he's probably a very nice person and for all you know it might be played in Heaven, I don't care just so long as I don't have to hear it too often here on earth

I don't think coldplay would 'raise hell' as such but it might annoy people if you play clocks or speed of sound over and over he he  Kill you by Korn might annoy someone. Marilyn Manson better for hell raising. On Antichrist superstar I like 1996 and irresponsible hate anthem is fantastic. Turn it up!

I heard the same thing. Unfortunately , if you listened to it even once it's too late - you will indeed go to hell. I once listened to Kansas City Here I Come and two weeks later I went to Kansas City !

You are 100% correct only God has the right to "damn people to hell"\nIf you look at the majority of religions there is always a standard for a person to live up to in order to achieve a reward. We have that in our natural world so why would it be so strange to have this set of standards in the spiritual world?\n\nIf I see a person robbing a bank I can say "you are going to jail for that act" I am in no way judging them I am telling them what the law says about that action and its normal results. \nIt will be the same with the bible for example if you believe it to be God's Word you can tell a person "according to the bible that act will damn you" and then you will not be judging in any way you are just telling them what the bible says about that action.\n\nHope this helps

Well technically YES, because fire and brimstone hell as has been preached in the past is false doctrine. The bible says that when people die, the are concious of nothing and feel nothing (pain, joy, sorrow. etc. ...) So 'hell' as referred to in the bible is simply the grave. So yes those people did go to 'hell', but they are not burning eternally!

Hmm Very valid statement.......But the truth is there are only two places to go!! Either you reach heaven or u reach hell...... I remember a listening to a similar statement.... When the evangelist asked the person about whether he would want to surrender his life to Jesus; the guy replied.." Well I dont like the whole idea of surrendering---I want to be in control of my life".......\n\nInfact either you are with God or you are with the Devil.....There is nothing called a neutral position... It's either black or white with no grey inbetween!!! \nThere is nothing like "I am in control"----Its a illusion.\nSo if you dont want to go to heaven then naturally you are heading to hell believe it or not!!!!

Those ignoramuses that believe in god should stop and think: why would a god that is so almighty and good allow such a place to exist.  The eternal torturing of the soul is a pretty bad scenario.  Eternal? yeah right.  What good can come of torture?  The sooner people realize that there is no god and hence there also is no hell, the better!

you're right, but whether or not you go to Hell is not based on how you live your life. it's based on one choice that you have to make. that choice is to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior.

Why in hell someone would do that?

I just thought when I read your question, would a masochist consider Heaven to be his hell.

in the middle ages if someone argued that they weren't responsible, the devil was... they would be burnt at the stake.\nhundreds of years later, if someone claims demonic influences as an excuse for criminal behavior, they will surely be committed for psychiatric help. this is not a valid excuse to commit criminal acts. think about it a while. this excuse is only used by deranged people who claim insanity or otherwise try to avoid responsibility for the evil things they do. no one has ever walked out of a courtroom with the judgment that they didn't do it...the devil did.

Your question should be:  Why does God ALLOW Satan to torture us?  What sick joy does God get from this?  \n\nSome may say I am blaspheming God.  He has not struck me with a lightning bolt yet...so I guess I am safe from His wrath.  \n\nSatan is just God's servant.  In any court of law, God would be more culpable than Satan.\n\nThey say the cleverest thing Satan has done is convince the world he does not exist.  Well, we could also say the trickiest thing God does is convince us Satan DOES exist.\n\nFor more on the "Problem of Evil" see my extensive response to that question too.

The hell would be a full place?  \n\nI don't really get the question.  If most people went to hell then most people are in hell.\n\nWhat's the debate?

imagine the best time in your life youve ever had... heaven is waaay better than that. hell is described in the bible as a place of pain for eternity, darkness, loneliness so if your friends go to hell you wont see them

Hi Gorgeous,\n\nYou just did a straw man argument.  Hell is a Christian theological concept.  In fact, it is generally a new testament concept.  It is impossible to discuss it without referring to how it came to be defined.  I’ll do my best to minimize any references and use reason and common sense. \n\nA common religious and cultural concept is “punishment” for bad people.  I think it is a just concept.  Buddha say, if you are bad, you will have bad karma in your next life.  Bad Karma is hell.   The Greek Gods had Hades, in the underworld.  \n\nOr, Jesus says, Good = love God (faith) and love others as yourself (action).   “ON THESE 2 COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS”.  (Read Matt 22:34-40).   So Ted says, if you read something that contradicts this, then check your premises, you will find one is wrong.  Everything in the bible has to (it must) logically align with this statement.  So, what is the interpretation basis to align with this one statement?  That’s a longer answer, and not part of your question.  \n\nHowever, what is the GOOD that will be the basis of judgment?  Most people say, “got to have faith”.  What is faith?  They then start prescribing rules and beliefs.  Now can you prove that these rules and beliefs 100% align with loving God?  Not usually.  There are many main religions, and then 100’s of sects.  Carl Jung says, “The shoe that fits one person, pinches another.”  So I also am skeptical.    \n\nNow do not forget this one dynamic of human nature that exists.  A religion (versus personal belief in God), as any and all organizations, always tries to grow and sustain itself.  It is pure human nature, in fact, it is good, for without it there would not be progress.  As for all human organizations, belief is based on some dogma or “Vision Statement”, loyalty to the organization, and growth thru product sales (corporations) or people or faith (religion).  In a sense, it is survival of the fittest.  The religion with the best message and the one that meets the most human needs, or aligns with an inspiring spiritual message the best, wins.   So they are all competing and believe they are right.   But they do say a lot of different things.  From the outside, this does not sound spiritual.   From the inside, it can be very spiritual.   Religion and church is a choice, and can be a very satisfying choice, if it meets your needs.  \n\nBack to what Jesus, is said to have said, [paraphrased]:  to be good, to pass His judgement, “feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty, shelter the stranger in need, clothe those who need it, help the sick, and visit those in prison.”  (Matt 25:35-36).  How else can it be known that you have loved others as you love yourself?  It is your actions.  Think about it, there is not one single word on belief, just actions.  This aligns with love others as yourself.  This is a good statement.     \n\nDo not forget, that in a solely materialist universe, which is cause and effect only, this leads to nihilism on a grand scale.  That is why philosophy and politics and much more is so nihilistic today.  If we are random quirks of nature, then in the grand scheme of nature, neither purpose, nor the sanctity of life can be justified.  This has and will have increasingly terrible implications to civilization.  Inherently, most people are not nihilistic, they are good people, with or without religion.  But if you are brilliant person without a conscience, heaven help us. \n\nRead the parable of the talents (Matt 25:14-30).  If you do not work to reach your human potential, and thus contribute your potential to mankind, then “cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness”.   This seems to align with loving others as yourself, and proving it by action, and being judged specifically on this aspect of your life.   What is the outer darkness?  It is not explained.  \n\nTo me it seems that religions try to make having faith the critical issue, in their

Man creates his own hell, and many on earth have done a good job of that.  On the other hand, you can be in the most unpleasant circumstances and create a little slice of Heaven.  It's all about staying connected to, and letting the Holy One direct our lives.  (Easier said than done all the time).  ; )

Nope. he had the concept of damnation all wrong. God never wills for anyone to go to Hell. In fact, it pains him to see so many people go there. He want's everyone to be saved, but it is only by faith.
