If you are truly evil, you will be dealt with. Here is my deal-------- when I was about 8, I killed a nest of blackbirds because I heard they were eating all the farmer's corn. ( in reality, blackbirds eat lots of harmful insects) Afterwards, I felt awful about murdering the baby birds. Perhaps I can redeem myself by spending the rest of my life helping birds, and I am now in my 60's and have built many birdhouses for them. I know that sounds 'corny', but what other way can I help?

'Eternal hell,' (also known as 'Gehenna' and 'Tartarus'), was designed by GOD to punish the devil and his angels, (Matthew 25:41).
Just as the Church will be made up entirely of one perfectly united 'Bride' coming together from people of all tribes and cultures throughout history after they are fully integrated into One Body, people who end up in 'hell' are experiencing a similar integration with beings of pure evil.
They have repeated chances to avoid doing this and repeatedly choose it anyway. Once fully 'integrated' they ARE demons, in the same way that the Church IS viewed collectively as Jesus Christ, only by a type of 'legal marriage' becoming One Body with Him. GOD sees husband and wife as one new creature.
So from GOD's perspective, none of us individually 'deserves' heaven, but Jesus does. Likewise, no one in hell may individually 'deserve' eternal punishment, but the devil and his demons do. Once we accept either form of 'integration' we share in their eternal experiences because there is no longer any difference between us and them. Yes, this is perfectly 'fair.' GOD wouldn't do this if it wasn't.

Hell is not for evil people, it's for unbelievers. No matter how evil you are, you can just pray for forgiveness and be welcomed into heaven, while the most caring, moral, selfless unbeliever will be sent to hell. Stop thinking that hell is a punishment for evil, it's not.

We're all evil people, we are all sinners. The Lord Jesus Christ is God, and He loves you. Believing in the Lord Jesus Christ means being forgiven all sins past and future, and means going to heaven and not hell. Death leads to immediate heaven or hell, and it is too late to be saved, after death. All believers still sin. See 1 John 1:8. To be in heaven and not hell, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is God and who died on the cross and shed His blood to pay for all of our sins in full, and who was buried, and who resurrected from the dead. The only way to avoid hell is by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, without adding any of your own works. See Romans 4:5, 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, and John 3:16.

I’m not the judge..Heaven is a sin free place..
All have sinned,& fallen short of the glory of God..
Jesus can wipe away all sins if you just ask him to,& believe in him.

Every accountable person deserves to spend eternity in a devil's hell, Romans 3:23, Isaiah 59:1-2. The only way to avoid that is John 14:6.

Yes, everyone who goes to Hell deserves to be there. And I have ZERO sympathy for anyone there.
