Why do you think God would create people that He knows will got to hell?

One question: why do you ask this when, according to your home page, you do not believe in hell? FYI, the Hebrew word sheol appears in the King James Bible 65 times, the word hades 10 times, gehenna 12 times. Add to that tartarus... it's a lot of mentions for a place that you don't think exists!

What did Jesus say about hell? "cast into hell fire— where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched." (Mark 9:48)

Because God loved you enough to give you the blessing of choice.

"Sheol" is not Hell. In Biblical Hebrew thought, it was simply the resting place of the dead until resurrection at Judgment Day. The Biblical Patriarch Jacob says that he's going to Sheol when he dies. Gen. 44:31. He wasn't going to Hell.

Their is no concept of a place of eternal torment in Hebrew or Jewish thought. That's a Christian invention, borrowed from pagan mythology.
