I would like to know where in the Bible does it say anything about God sending anyone to hell. The closest the Bible comes to saying anything remotely close to this is in Revelation when it says The Great Red Dragon will be thrown into the lake of fire. People send themselves to hell by choosing not to believe in God. Knowing there is a God and believing God are two different things. Even the demons know that God exists. God is a loving God and will forgive seventy times seven plus one every day. When God forgives, your sin is cast into the deep never to be seen again. In other words your sin never enters God's thoughts again. Thank God! To know that God exists and not follow Him is inexcusable. The more knowledge one has the more they are responsible for. Not hearing about God is next to impossible these days. All societies have some sort of Deity. The question is what deity do they observe and where does it come from? What is the deities origin? The Roman's of old had thousands of gods, but the apostle Paul told them the one he spoke of is the one that was labeled the "Unknown God".
In all my studies and research, I have never come across any deity other than God Himself that is an all forgiving God. This is the one most people do not know. People are too quick to judge others and their beliefs when they should really be taking a good look at their own. Does your doctrine tell you to judge others? Or does it tell you to be patient and kind, loving and forgiving? Hell belongs to those that try to send others there. Hell is home to those that do not seek truth. Truth is unblemished. Most doctrines these days are two parts truth to one part lie, or one part truth to two parts lie, both being lies in the end. Truth is not in a book, it is in your heart or it is not of you at all. Who knows how much the old Catholic Popes influenced the writings of the book we know as the Bible today? Who knows how much influence Constantine himself had over what is canonical and what is not? He was only out to save his own reputation and have excuse to murder and gain land and popularity.
A person would have to be able to read ancient Hebrew to know the truth about what is truly written therein. What we know to be the Jewish Scripture today was not written until around 600 A.D. and by then there was so much influence from the Babylonian priesthood, no one could actually know the truth if they have to see it written down somewhere. GOD is, and the truth about God is in your heart and hell is for anyone that does not know or seek the spirit of Truth.
