How can hell be seen as God's punishment if it is not for correction?

    How can eternity in pain and bondage be even considered "correction" in any way, shape of form? As a parent, I had to punish my children when they were young and misbehaving. It never lasted "forever". How can anyone consider a being good if it casts you in a eternal torment for doubting another human saying it exists? Humans are known to lie for their own purposes. It boggles the mind.

    It is for correction!  The Bible states that All in Hell will be there for just Ten Thousand years!  Then all of them will be willing to Obey GOD all the time!

    Punishment is not always meant to be corrective.

    In hell, you can't die. So is earth any worse where you can die of cancer? Maybe earth is hell?

    Hell isn't for correction.  Hell is judgment.  Nobody has to be there.

    Nobody can be good enough to avoid hell. The truth is that death leads to immediate heaven or hell, depending only on whether the person believed in Jesus for eternal life, or not.

    .

    The truth is that Jesus loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing in Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in Jesus to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven when you die, because you believe in Jesus! It is too late to be saved, after death

    It can't. 

    That is why your assumption that 'God' 

    has anything to do with something as vile 

    and morally insignificant as He||, is entirely in error. 

    And, that is why associating God with the filth and corruption 

    of everything that God will never be, will never make any sense. 

    Start thinking "better".

    It is God's Wrath, and God is not happy with those who enter His Hellfire. Some people and other creations of God never come out of Hellfire and that is real doom and they are the fuel for the Fire. Their eternal home is the Hellfire, there is no relief, no bliss for them whatsoever. Even if they beg to be destroyed, their wishes will not be fulfilled because they will ask for destruction and will not be allowed. They neither live nor die. It is forever. 

    They are humiliated, the saddest creation of God. They face real punishment and torture as well from God, and His angels torturing those who enter the Hellfire and the Hellfire devours these. God is not pleased with these individuals who have earned the Hellfire as their final abode and will command His angels to take away those suffering so He doesn't want to hear their suffering and they will be taken to the depths of the Hellfire and locked up in cages as well, chained up and are fed the filth of the Hellfire; the foods of the Hellfire. 

    They are criminals and will be treated as criminals. Some people face temporary punishment as well and will be admitted to the Paradises.

    HELL IS THE GRAVE AND IS NOT FOR CORRECTION, CORRECTION WILL COME AFTER THE RESURRECTION AND THEN THE LAKE OF FIRE WHERE ALL WILL BE OVER AND PEOPLE FACE THE 2ND DEATH.

    Exactly!

    For ONE thing?  There's absolutely NOTHING said about GENTILES by Paul in the New Covenant. 

    Maybe there is, but I couldn't find it, and I won't make it up.

    Jesus PREACHED in hell.  Those would have been those during the flood.  Of COURSE it's so they see their errors.

    But I recommend research HADES in NT, get Strong's Concordance.  I have the app.

    It helps to know.
