"the wicked will burn in hell?
GERTRUDE, Pentecostal preacher, clung to his belief in a fiery hell. Any implication that that place did not exist offended his sense of justice. Thought that without the flames of hell, many heinous crimes remain unpunished. And he had no intention of changing its position, as saying: "I would not worship God if there is no hell fire for the wicked."
"bad people will burn in hell as taught by many religions? And if not, what punishment will they get?
The first divine punishment
The Bible teaches that God created perfect our first parents, Adam and Eve (Genesis 1:27, Deuteronomy 32:4). Put in a garden paradise and gave them the opportunity to live forever. However, this restriction should respect the man: "Of every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. But as the tree of knowledge of good and evil, you should not eat it, because on the day you eat from it you will positively die "(Genesis 2:16, 17).
Unfortunately, they did not pass that simple test of loyalty and obedience, and the Creator had no choice to sentence them to death. "With the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread till you return to the ground, because you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you shall return. "(Genesis 3:19.)
If Adam and Eve had been in danger of burning in hell, God would not have noticed? However, he hinted that he would suffer even after death. How would suffer if they had an immortal soul that survives death? The Bible clearly states: "The soul who sins ... she will die "(Ezekiel 18:4).
As the Giver of life, our Creator knows all there is to know about to life and death. He tells us in His word that "the dead [...] are not aware of anything at all" (Ecclesiastes 9:5). So it was impossible for Adam and Eve suffered in a fiery hell upon death. Simply turned to dust and cease to exist because they had no "conscious of nothing at all."
Is there suffering after death?
The Bible says in Romans 5:12: "Through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men." Therefore, is it reasonable believe that people pay for their sins in hell, when the culprit Adam all die, simply turned to dust? (1 Corinthians 15:22.)
Every human being is subject to the same law as Adam: "The wages sin pays is death." In addition, when died, is "absolved of his sin" (Romans 6:7, 23). But if both good and bad have the same end and no one suffers after death, how God will take care of justice?
Divine justice
God's purpose for mankind has not compliant changed since you created the first pair and ordered them to have children and care for the Earth (Genesis 1:28). His will remains the same, since centuries later said: "The righteous themselves will possess the land, and dwell therein for ever" (Psalm 37:29).
Note that the righteous will live on Earth and enjoy perfect health and happiness. The original purpose of God to fill the planet right people "will succeed for sure." And he fulfilled when he replaced this wicked system of things with a new world (Isaiah 55:11, Daniel 2:44, Revelation [Revelation] 21:4).
Thousands of millions of people who have died without knowing the divine requirements raised and given instructions for living in the new world (Isaiah 11:9, John 5:28, 29). However, those who do not wish to be governed by divine laws will be punished with "the second death", ie, a death that never wake up (Revelation 21:8, Jeremiah 51:57).
As a God of love, it is inconceivable that the Lord is torturing people in hell fire (1 John 4:8). But not forever tolerate evil. Psalm 145:20 Thus assures us that he is "keeping to all those who love him, but all the wicked will destroy. " There is no doubt that Jehovah is a loving and just God.
