First of all, I don’t think there is a God or a Devil. But I guess just like some people believe that God made everything he must have made the Devil, or the bad things in life, too. I guess the Devil would be everything bad we do so we could blame someone other than ourselves or, in the religious perspective, God. I really depends what your concept of the Devil and God is to you. It also depends on what religion you practice and believe in too because if your religion descends from Christianity then The Devil is a liar and wants to make you doubt your religion. \n\nThis is what I think. If you have any other questions, if you want to enlighten me, or if you want to just want to say how stupid I am you can email me to \n\ngbrl_question@yahoo.com

ABSOLUTELY!!! The same Creator Who created the earth we live on, created hell.\n\nHowever, it was actually created for Satan and his fallen angels.\n\nBut, since we have no other place to go if we reject Jesus, we must go to hell. Satan is the father of all the wicked. Therefore, the wicked will be with him in hell. Where the fire is not quenched and the worm dieth not.

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

welcome to Judaism my friend. We mearly see the "devil" as the angle of death and a servant of Gd. Personally I do not know where that whole fallen angel garbage came from.

If by Lucifer, you mean the ancient god of good hope symbolized by the morning star, then yes. If you mean the Christian demonetization of Lucifer into a devil, then no.

In almost every religion, both antiquated and modern, there is a conceptualization of some sort of 'heaven' 'nirvana' and hell.  \n\nI don't think any one person or religion can claim it.  However, what is interesting is the human need for this sort of metaphysical understanding.\n\nIf we create a hell, why?  What purpose does it serve? How does it help us organize our spirituality and our morals?\n\nDo we need a hell to scare us into morality?  If we need to be scared into a sense of morality... is it really morality?

nope. if hell DOES exist then god is not all loving. if god i no lal loving then he isnt worthy of the title "god".

i think god already did when he sent his only begotten son jesus christ on earth to suffer and die for all the sins of human race, to "repair the damage", that whoever believes in him will be saved. god never meant for lucifer to be the bad guy that he turned out to be. blaming god or anybody for that matter is pointless coz what's done is done.

I don't think there is an actual "devil". I think the "devil" is a just a way for us to apply a bad face to evil acts. I think humans need God as humans have been worshipping dieties for tens of thousands of years and nearly 90% of the world believes in a diety in some form.

no\n\n"hell" is a mistranslation. it always means the "grave", biblically anyway. there is a lake of fire referred to. In it, evil people will be destroyed, not eternally tormented.\n\nheaven is a temporary dwelling until such time as God sets up paradise on earth, as recorded in the book of revelations. we will live together in paradise with Jesus and God will dwell among us.

hell is just a made believe place...\n(made believed by the church, so you would obey it and give it your money, ofcourse they had to make it sound horrible).\n\nwhat red guy? santa?\n(just kidding, there is no devil either)

Some previous posters were saying that we send ourselves to hell.  That is insane.  If god creates the system and then offers us a choice - either worship him or go to hell, it's not a "loving" choice.  That's similar to an evil person offering the choice:  1. worship me and I'll give you drugs that will make you feel great or 2. I'll torture you.  \n\nWhat loving god would want to torture anything?!?  Why create a hell in the first place?  Why have everlasting torture for a short period of disobedience?  \n\nYou don't have to beat children for hours because they are disrespectful.  You can do time-out and explain why it was wrong.  You hug your children and try to not them suffer when they get sick.  The xian god does the opposite according to the bible.

God created devils too ,God created good and bad.We have to choose which path we want to take.And no child is born gay ,as they get older the person chooses what they want to be .  \nBible:\nSome will say that a person may be born with homosexual tendencies. We say that everyone is a free agent. God lays before us two paths and has given us knowledge of where these paths lead. One is the path to which the devil call us. We must avoid that. One is the path leading to paradise. We must stick to that one. Everyone experiences evil prompting from time to time. We must resist those with all our might. If one feels a tendency to do something that God prohibits, he or she should seek help from a  community of loving, caring, believers who would understand his or her difficulty and help him or her overcome it.

This is a complex question, and the answer depends upon your definiton of God. If your God is an old geezer in the sky who created absolutely everything, then it would logically follow that he or she created hatred. But maybe God just established the laws of nature and then set everything in motion (Deism). In this case human beings are the inventors of hatred. Or, maybe God is the same thing as Nature, in which case people would still be the inventors of hatred (and evil). Lots of theologians have struggled with this question.

Our GOD asks us to obey him through the following of his rules ,to go to paradise and to  avoid the hell,but I want to tell you that there is a few peoples loved God deeply and forgot the fear.The fear comes when the Devil try to prevent one from obey his God and if so the hell is the fate.
