>>Question on why God created hell...waiting...and waiting...and waiting... <<

Wait no more. It’s rather plainly stated in scripture.

Matthew 25:41 "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

People are confirming to me God created a hell. I'm very thankful that they believe in a hell and that is reasuring. Some don't. But that's not my question to all the "free willers" out here which has been ignored. The question is WHY did God create hell. It doesn't fit with the "Free Will" thinking. In 10,000 years is someone going to regret their choice? If God looked down the time corridor and saw what would happen, why did He do this?

As God pointed out (via Gamecock) hell was created for the vessels of wrath (Rom 9:22). The purpose was for those who are deliberately disobedient. It is so that we might understand grace and mercy as well as righteousness and justice. Many must have overlooked his most excellent post-or perhaps ignored it. Gamecock's post that is. Last time God inscribed anything was a while back with Moses.
