God created mankind so we would have fellowship with him. He gave us free will so that we could CHOOSE him. Wouldn't it make no sense to have a bunch of drones who chose God no matter what? Imagine if you had a toy doll that talks and tells you it loves you. Would you genuinely feel loved? Of course not. Why expect any less from God? We were created in his image after all.



Genesis 1:27 "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."



God created the universe. There is no way the universe was anything but made. Everything has to have a cause. That is a well established fact. God is that cause. He created the laws of physics and all the atoms in the universe and is thus outside the parameters of them, so thus it can be said that he is not bound by the need to have a cause. He is ETERNAL, and the only reason we cannot comprehend eternity is because we have FINITE MINDS. No matter what we try, we cannot comprehend eternity because we are not eternal. Simple as that.



God created hell because of sin. Sin is criminal, all of it. Have you ever lied to anyone? You're a guilty criminal who God considers worthy of eternal punishment. Ever stole? You're a guilty criminal who God considers worthy of eternal punishment. Ever hurt someone? You know you have sinned.



1 John 1:10 "If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."

Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"

Hebrews 9:22 "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."

Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

Hell was not made for man but for the devil and his demons.



Matthew 25:41 "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels"

But because Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, man fell from grace became in need of God. And God not wanting to lose mankind came to Earth as a man (Jesus Christ) so to be sacrificed, baring the sins of the world so that whosoever believes in him and follows him unto death might be saved. You see, its a pardon.



John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."
