Humanitys Purpose?

[Homeless Joe]

first of all i'd like to ask you where in the bible it says hell is a place where people where burn and be tortured for all eternity. because i believe the hell is only described as a distance from god and heaven as a closeness to him. now, i'm not sure what it says in the bible, i'm working on reading it all so i'll know, but from what i've been taught in church god has a purpose for everyone, and knows all that is to come. now by having a purpose, doesn't that mean he made us for a reason. made us to acomplish a goal and he already knows we will achieve it. doesn't that mean that we have no free will, at least not when it comes to our destiny? o and i don't have msn messenger. as andromeda said, the chicken came first, for there to be a chicken an egg, there must be a chicken to lay it.
