Q: Is there really a Hell? Who made it, & why does it exist?
A: Yes, Hell is a real place. Hell is the final permanent holding place that was created by God to put Lucifer (the Devil, Satan) and his followers, the fallen angels who chose to follow Lucifer and turn from God (Matthew 25:41 & 2 Peter 2:4) This permanent holding place also, became the final resting place for those who became the followers of Satan through sin. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. We need to ask for forgiveness from our sins and turn from our sins towards Jesus and God. If we do not then we are the followers of Satan. Satan introduced sin into the world in the very beginning in the garden of Eden. So to sin is to follow Satan, for God cannot stand sin. If we follow Satan by continuing to sin then we are to get the same eternal punishment that God created for him and his followers. The question is are you a follower of God and Jesus, or are you a follower of sin that Satan introduced into the world? So, if you are a follower of Jesus then your final resting place will be in Heaven and New Jerusalem (the new garden of Eden and the tree of eternal life) awaits you. If you are a follower of Sin then Hell and eternal torment and burning awaits you. It is God who made Hell and it is God who will send souls to Hell. Hell is not a place where the Devil rules as we see in pop culture movies and videos. It is a place where the Devil and his followers will be punished and tormented forever.
