We are all given a choice. It is not what God does that causes punishment like that but what man does. A two year old would not be capable of the sin required to burn in hell.

The only people who "burn in hell" are the ones who deny him and possibly those who consistently go against what He asks of us. There is no sin/crime which cannot be forgiven if you ask and mean it...except non-belief, because if you don't believe why would you ask forgiveness. Why should God reward those who mock and deny him the same as those who are faithful and try to abide by His will? I am not so sure that anyone burns in hell...except Satan. I have always been taught that non believers suffer the second death which is complete separation from God, which is why Jesus cried out from the cross and asked God why He had forsaken Him. Because He suffered the second death in place of those who did and would believe and accept Him. Just my opinion, btw. Children are considered sin free until they reach an age of accountability. There is no certain age for this, that is an individual thing. Children are most precious to God because their hearts are pure. If there is an actual hell..there will be no children there.

It would be more evil than Satan and Hitler but God will save them too... God eventually saves all from sin and shares His complete happy experience of eternity with everyone... God reconciles all to Himself through Jesus Christ, Who makes peace through His shed blood and crucifixion (Col 1:20). Jesus is the Lamb of God Who takes away all the sins of all the world (Jn 1:29). The creation itself, also, shall be freed from the slavery of corruption into the glorious freedom of the children of God (Rom 8:21). Hell's punishment is not forever but until the end of the eons. People don't sin enough during their mortal lives for God to choose endless punishment besides it would spoil the future of eternity to have a section continually reserved for endless torture... People are made by God to rebel against His ideal will for them and then offered a choice - forgiveness of their rebellion, or, punishment for their sins until they have paid the last penny... After punishment, those who went through torture in hell come to realise they need faith on God to succeed in life and they are converted into God's kingdom so that they cease from sinning and are rewarded for their compliance... There are two bible translations which uphold the doctrine of Universal Reconciliation with God, and the union of all beings into experience of God as the all in each of us.

I believe hell is a place where souls are destoyed, not to burn in hell for eternity. i think that those souls will be no more. but the children of God will live for eternity. And God would not put a child in the fire, they are pure.

your saying serial rapist and murderes don't deserve to burn in hell?

I do not believe God is unfair and anyone who's there belongs there because He is fair and just. Do you really think God would allow a 2 year old to burn in hell? I dont believe that for a minute. I do not know what God's idea of hell's eternity. Perhaps, after they are burned up they would become as if they never were. Who really knows? But who knows better than God and we will see that in the end he is just and fair.

why do you start off with IF? why do you use lower case G's for god? god is not a loving god. God is a loving God. you name evil, satan, hell, and hitler. but you have no name for god. what is that?

Because God gives people a choice on how to live their lives. If they do not obey they go to hell. Simple. In Islam every child who dies goes straight to heaven. Salaam

"What would become of humans on this Earth if God would not allow those incidents to happen to mankind!! Humans need to have some sort of intimidations to preserve some sort of Goodness and sanity amongst one another!!How much more worse can it get if God wouln't take those measures!!!"
