A mistranslated,old, rewritten book is not evidence of god. You can not be 100% positive that that book/religion is correct over all the others. You also can not be sure that the god you prey to is real and the other gods and goddesses are not.
Yes I can and do. I know without a doubt that God is real and is who He says He is, I know His word ie. Bible is trustworthy and reveals God to the world. Knowing this I trust God when He said there are no other gods, He is the only true and real God. You have a great misunderstanding of faith as many do on this forum. Faith is trusting what the real and only God says is true, knowing God is real is the only way one can come to that kind of trust.

God created such a place to punish the guilty, those guilty of sin. There has to be a balance in justice, a balance that most seem to reject and that's why many reject God. The balance is this, for those rewarded for repentance there must be punishment for those who do not. If only the reward were to be given and no punishment, then what meaning does the reward have.
God sends no one to hell, everyone who goes there has chosen to.

The God of creation, there's no other, He's the One you rebel against.

By not choosing God's gift for repentance you have chosen hell. Unforgiven sin is what places you in hell, and Christ is the only avenue to forgiveness.

So you mean that this loving god will send a 3year old to hell? Even go as far as torture that 3 year old to death, with cancer. This 3 year does not understand how to repent, god, or believe in god for that matter. So by your saying, its ok for god to send that child to hell. How sick, does not sound like enough time to me.
Your being ridiculous, a three year old doesn't even know what sin is, young children are loved deeply by God, Christ when He was on earth warned against mistreating young children and keeping them from Him. You only have to be sensible when thinking about what God would do, why would you believe God would send a three year old to hell, could it be because someone told you this or because that's how you want to see God in your rebellion. No matter which it is they both seem to me to be a sick way of looking at God and life, wouldn't you say? God does not give cancer to children or anyone else, those types of things happen in life, God can, does and will work through these bad things to help people, we only have to look for Him.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
