Hell exists because the Bible says so. Jesus said "if your hand offends you, cut it off. It is better to be maimed than to have two hands and burn in hell." This implies that hell is real. That's why I believe in it.

Ok. But I believe its the common grave, because if u look in the bible book they talk about hell in the back i think, the bible says even Jesus has been ressurected from hell. And Jesus was perfect, over the years false beliefs and superstistions have caused there to be mystasim about hell with there being everylasting suffering. But for example if you took a cookie would ur mother turn on the stove and make u hold ur hand over it all day!!. I hope not.... So if u no God to be the enbodyment of love why would he let humans/his children suffer forever. Hell is the grave, the Hebrew word Sheol as been translated as grave and so is hades which they call the after word.

It's not fair to blame God for letting his children suffer... The reality is that God created us and gave us one thing that even He has no control over... the ability to make our own choices. So it's the choices we make (with or without knowledge) that leads to consequences. If we make the choice not to follow God (whether or not we know we've made the choice), the consequence is hell. It's got nothing to do with God. If a child commits a crime, the child must face the consequences... no matter how much the child's mother loves him...

Do you mean believing in hell,in the fire of hell,in a creature made of hellish fire or.... ? Is it a religious question? I'm quite confused about it, and what kind of hell would be that one?
