Okay I am not trying to make anyone mad. I know religion makes people upset when questioned sometimes and I apologize incase I do upset anyone. Okay
Hell? Usually when we hear the word hell, we think burning toture and so on? Alot of agony for eternity right?
My question is when Armageddon the final battle between good an evil take place. God will the rid the world of satan and the demons right?
So, who is going to torture the people in hell after Armageddon takes place and there is no evil in the world if we are supposed to be totured for eternity?

Hello friend,
May I say that you've been taught a bad premise.
In Hell, people are not tortured. Torture speaks of evil. God is Just and Holy. May I also say that God sends no one to Hell. In fact, He put a major road block in the form of a Cross on the road to Hell so that everyone who goes there must go through, around, under, or over it to get there.
God does not want ANYONE to go there, but He will not violate their free will to choose or reject Him.
But to your question, the "ridding of the world" as you put it is found in Rev. 20:10-15. The word used there is "tormented" which is not the same as tortured. In the Greek it means pain, torment, toil, vexation etc.
Now if you will, allow me to pose a question to you.
What if Hell had no literal fire, no torture as you put it, but instead
was only darkness totally void of all light.
And, you were fully able to remember each and every time someone told you about Christ. You could clearly see their face and hear their words in your mind. You would know about your precious grandma or dear mother telling you about the Saviors'
love, each occasion where anyone and everyone ever told you about God's Grace, all this you could distinctly recall -- this and nothing more.
Then add to this, the fact that before you went to Hell you came face to face with Him who's hands and feet were pierced for you, He who stretched out His loving arms on a rugged splintered tree for you and had YOU on His mind that very day, yes, you came face to face with this Dear Savior who had to look you in the eye, and possibly with a tear in His precious eye stepped aside so as not to stand in your way any longer. He stepped aside and allowed you to go to Hell where you knew you would go if you rejected Him.
Then, there in Hell, for all Eternity, your perfect memory would never fail as you remembered His face, remembered all those who tried to reach you. For all Eternity this is yours to remember with your perfect memory provided to you by your hardened heart.
Friend, if all this were so, do you think Hell would have to have fire? God's Book speaks of Hell fire. Now friend, let's suppose that Hell does have a fire that never goes out and you are never consumed, and add to that all of the above... Can you picture torment now?
Please don't go.
Don't wait for "Armageddon" or the day you die. God is waiting for you and everyone who will only call on His Name.
Because He so much loved the world,(that's you), that He gave His only Son, (Christ Jesus) that whoever (anyone-everyone) would not perish (die and go to Hell), but rather have Eternal Life.
And that Life is in Jesus.
God bless you as you proceed.

Answer
Academia states that in the absence of proof of the existence of something it must be deemed not to exist until verifiable proof is found - thus god is held not to exist pending some sort of verifiable evidence.
There is not one single mention of Jesus in the entire Roman record - that is right - not one! At the same time as he was supposed to have been around there were a number of Jews claiming to be the messiah - all of whom are well recorded!
There is not a single contemporary record from any source and even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!
He was supposed to have been a huge problem to the Romans and produced wonderful miracles but still not one contemporary record?
Even the bible mentions of him like all other references were not written until many years after his supposed death!
Pilate is recorded in the Roman record as a somewhat lack luster man but no mention of a Jesus, a trial or crucifixion that would surely have been used to make him look brighter!
At best he was an amalgam of those others but almost certainly never existed!
The Roman Emperor Constantine produced the bible and he was a pagan not god! He took the Jewish religion and basing it on the Mithras religion, organized it into Christianity and then into the Holly Roman Catholic Church!! Not in Israel or any of the countries of supposed origin but entirely ITALIAN!
Not one word of it is contemporary with the period and was not written until several hundred years after the period the story is set in!! How did the apostles write their books more than a hundred years after they would have been dead?
What a wonder full disinformation and deception campaign he waged against his Jewish enemies by turning them into his invented Christianity - so good in fact that Christians are still following the deception to this day!
The first person to provide a shred of verifiable evidence for God will become world famous and mega rich!! Ain't happened yet and it never will!
Try checking out the intolerance, hatred, bigotry and persecution posted by christians on here and compare that to the buddhist beliefs!
BUDDHISM â Religious teaching from Buddha and his followers that by destroying greed, hatred and delusion (the cause of all suffering) man can attain perfect enlightenment!
If only the christians would learn from them!
