Why do some religions preach eternal damnation?

If you had a child and you made a promise for a special treat providing he/she was good and the child was not good...The punishment would be NO TREAT right....Would you also make that child suffer for the rest of its life.....OF COURSE NOT........Same with God......The promise would not belong to you and a loving God would NOT make you suffer for eternity..........Just NO TREAT...........So just do your best...Thank God for all your blessings His Guidance, Forgiveness and His constant LOVE....AND STOP WORRYING ABOUT ETERNAL DAMNATION.

    An offer you can't refuse! Gangster or priest, the method is the same!

    On the contrary....God will Never again chance the destruction of His Paradise for His beloved children. Damnation will happen to the evil ones, those that mirror satanic character.

    Because the bible teaches it but we don't have to go there. God gave us the perfect plan to avoid eternal damnation and His name is Jesus. The bible says that it is appointed unto man once to die and after that the judgment. We will all stand before Jesus and be judged by whether we accepted or rejected His plan of Salvation by repentance and faith. It will be Heaven or hell and no matter how you interpret it. it is still eternal damnation for those who reject. It's your call.

    The Bible is the word of God. Try reading it sometime.

    God and the Bible cannot be seperated. Your assertions aren't supported by the Bible.

    Bible teaches it- Christ& apostles stressed it. They always told truth. Yes, Hell is real. Jesus died so we may avoid Hell and live with Him in Heaven.
