Because He is not the God of just the Christians. He's the God of everyone who believes in Him and tries to live a good, righteous life.

Heaven is like a really swanky country club. If everyone could get in, what would the point be?

God is God. He is God of all religions. if a man does not go to heaven, then he has chosen by default or on purpose to go to hell. there are two ways to heaven. 1 by works.. obeying every law of your religion or conscience. every society including the tribes in deepest africa have rules and moral standards. every man has his own standards. fail your own standards... we all do... and you have chosen. 2 choose grace and forgiveness and you are free from the laws and under grace...so simple

Maybe someone made God to scare the bejaysus out of the people!

In my opinion or what I know from reading the Word of God. God does not send people to hell. First off the Lord Jesus died to take away the sins of the world. It's up to us to make that conscious decision on how we are going to live. We have a choice to do right or do wrong. That's why we have our own mind to make decision. We were born into sin and now it's up to us to do what is right. If y our committing fornication and now you've conceived a child is that God's fault (no) it's yours. The main thing is you have committed sin and now you brought a child into this world. The Ten commandments says this; 1. You shall have no other Gods but me. 2. You shall not make for yourself any idol, nor bow down to it or worship it. 3. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God. 4. You shall remember and keep the Sabbath day holy. 5. Respect your father and mother. 6. You must not kill. 7. You must not commit adultery. 8. You must not steal. 9. You must not give false evidence against your neighbour. 10. You must not be envious of your neighbour's goods. You shall not be envious of his house nor his wife, nor anything that belongs to your neighbour. God says no don't do that, but we end up doing it anyways, so who's to blame God or us? So to answer your question No God doesn't create us to go to hell. We send ourselves. Hell is a prepared place for an unprepared people. Romans 10:9 "If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Do you mean to say that if I just say the words and believe Jesus came back from the dead I'll go to Heaven? Even if I live a horrible life?" It means you must follow Jesus' teachings and believe God raised Jesus from the dead. and ys you will be saved from hell.

He created us with the freedom of choice just as adam and eve had the choice to eat the fruit or stay in Eden.

That is the true freedom of Choice.

This is what my priest told me last night at my Alpha course. Sometime in your life, you are presented with the gift of faith and if you accept it, you will go to heaven. If you turn your back on it, you will go to hell. The people who never accept the gift in the first place(for whatever reason...maybe they were never taught like my 2 nieces) will still go to heaven. They should not be punished for the mistakes of their families. The key part is that you shouldn't refuse to believe or turn your back on God. Do I believe this? Not really sure. I do have faith but I also have my own opinions!

people have to change and evolve..go forth and multiply...HE did not create robots...that would have been too easy and boring...we were created in HIS image in that we can think and choose and have free will.....HE could have made it that way, but HE wants us to Love Him "willingly"... not all of HIS creation will die but will have evelasting life with HIM.... it was not in the first man and woman to know right and wrong, they were innocents with no shame, until they chose to fall for satan's temptation/lie and eat of the tree of knowledge(knowing right and wrong)and became aware of shame and knew they had wronged... HE knows our hearts, but through HIS GRACE we all can change ...if we choose too...so even so, HE still gives us the chance..and rejoices when we come home....

Excellent question. I don't know why, but he did. The God of the Bible, if you believe it, is all knowing thus he knew everything about us before he created us. If he knew we were going to go to Hell, then we really don't have a choice in the matter at all because we can't choose otherwise. It is one of Christianity's great mysteries.

GOD IS A SPIRIT WITHIN EACH PERSON, ANIMAL=EVERY LIVING THING, BUT WHEN WE BELIEVE IN GOD, WE'RE ACTUALLY BELIEVING IN OURSELVES. SO TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR SELVES. YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER CREATED YOU. SPIRITS DONT

God knows who will go to hell...but Altough he doesn't force any one to go to hell you can choose your path...no one can forces you
-
knowing your actions is different from forcing u to do these actions
-
Did God tell you this directly? How do you "KNOW" this for a fact? Maybe His enemies are telling terrible lies about Him. Don't believe everything people tell you about God or that you read about Him. Imperfect human beings tell lies and write lies so don't believe them for a minute. People lie all the time. Don't be duped. Happy Wednesday! :)

good question, there seems to be alot of those contradictions, maybe hes not real? that seems to make more sense
-
I think that this is where free will comes into play.
