What Happens?

[LegendaryDJ]

OK, God creates everything, Satan betrays God, Satan goes in Hell. So what would happen if God destroyed Satan and Hell along with Satan? What would happen to those who were to Hell? Or did God create Hell for those who did not follow God. But Hell is supposed to be evil. God would never create abything evil. So what would happen to the people in Hell if Hell was destroyed?

I made this thread becuase I've been pondering it for the longest time. Do they go poof? or does God have mercy upon the people/demonic creatures in Hell. Maybe I shouldn't of made this thread since there is no actuall fact for us who are alive on Earth still. I don't know, help me out.

RE: What Happens?

What happens if none of the characters in your story exist?

For that reason, we do not discuss religious topics here. Half of the people here are non-religious and the other half are, so when we argue religion, it always results in a flame war.

So many questions...

But no answers.

[Tantric]

That's a good question...

[Verruckter]

One day, thousands of billions of years ago, something incredible, probably the world's biggest coincidence happened: The Big Bang.

Crap!!I accidently made another one in Chit Chat....sorry, I'm an idiot :

Jesus was way cool
Everybody liked Jesus
Everybody wanted to hang out with him
Anything he wanted to do, he did
He turned water into wine
And if he wanted to
He could have turned wheat into marijuana
Or sugar into cocaine
Or vitamin pills into amphetamines
He walked on the water
And swam on the land
He would tell these stories
And people would listen
He was really cool
If you were blind or lame
You just went to Jesus
And he would put his hands on you
And you would be healed
That's so cool
He could've played guitar better than Hendrix
He could've told the future
He could've baked the most delicious cake in the world
He could've scored more goals than Wayne Gretzky
He could've danced better than Barishnikov
Jesus could have been funnier than any comedian you can think of
Jesus was way cool
He told people to eat his body and drink his blood
That's so cool
Jesus was so cool
But then some people got jealous of how cool he was
So they killed him
But then he rose from the dead
He rose from the dead, danced around
Then went up to heaven
I mean, that's so cool
Jesus was way cool
No wonder there are so many Christians

Too bad your religious following hasn't caught on.

You guys are a disgrace. He's just asking a simple question. If you can't be mature in critical thinking, get out. Now, to answer the question, I gave a nice big post in the chit-chat topic, but here it is again:

*busts out the New Testament*

Revalations 20:10-15 (starting with 10 just so you know what the lake of fire is)

"And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfer, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was openeed, which was the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what he had done. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."

Note that it was written in past tense because it was all a vision, so it had happened before in this guy's head and he just wrote down what he saw happen. Basically, after Satan has his fun on Earth, God comes back and banishes him to a lake of fire, where he will be tortured relentlessly for all eternity. Also, once God comes back, everybody's souls will come back from wherever they were (whether they were alive still or dead and in Hell already) and they will be judged. This judgement is the final one, and all those who are not worthy get sent to the lake of fire for all eternity.

Just in case you didn't see it in the other topic. Does that answer your question?

[Sera13]

that really isnt somthing i could answer simply becuase it doesnt follow my beliefs, therefor the only statement i made was "this is undiscussable."

[Austaph]

Uh...

You have some valid inquiries, and you're not the first person to ponder things like this. If this is something that really interests you then you might want to check into Thomas Aquinas.

If you've read Genesis, it says nothing of Hell or Satan. However, God does create Earth and Man. If God forced Man to obey God, then Man would not have free will and therefore be less like God in-His-own-image. Man is incapable of causing evil willfully. When Man causes evil, he really believes that he is doing good for himself or for some other purpose. That takes care of the bad-people-go-to-Hell thing.

Here comes the thinking part. God did not create evil. God created out of goodness, therefore evil is a lack of goodness. Darkness is lack of light, and before you say "but wait, Austaph... light is lack of darkness" consider that light, not darkness, has a cause, posesses mass, and can be measured. I thought I had more to say, but that about covers your question.

And if you're all so above religion, why haven't you mastered it yet? "God doesn't exist," "I don't believe what you say," and "religion is crap" don't really fall under the critical thinking category. These things are older than you are - acknowledge them.

For your information, not only did i say nothing of the sort, i also have read the bible more than once, all the way through, i used to attend church on a regular basis also, i have also studied many pagan beliefs, Satanic Beliefs, And many other religions as well such as buddism. I do not however have beliefs that fall under anyone of these catagories and never once said anything like "i dont believe in god" becuase i very much do believe in some sort of a god. Thank you.
