When one is thrown into Hell is God still happy? Does He simply forget you existed? I realize God is not techincally happy in the same sense as humans are happy but I have found this subject to be fascinating we are told God knows and is intrested in everything we do does this love and intrest just stop for the damned.

I would say yes. Why? Because once you are in hell there is no forgiveness, you are there for all eternity.

So God would forget about you(general you not specific) once you were in hell.
 
Does He simply forget you existed?
This may be one choice that is a right for all potential created beings. Jesus implied that not existing is favorable to hell. One may ask what the standards would be in many worlds of gods and their created beings. In a plural Kingship, would an acceptable standard be that most gods found it just to allow for the singular right of their created beings to exist.?

Are just standards always the result of a world of a singular God and his created beings, or does there also exist the potential to have a somewhat less favorable justice in such a case?

No, and No. God is still happy, but not that the human is in Hell. He certainly doesn’t forget that you existed, because he knows everything, not just everything it’s convenient to know. Plus, he’s outside of time, so “remember” is the wrong verb anyway.
 
I don’t think He’s any happier than a parent is whose child is put into jail or executed, no matter how much the child may have done to deserve their punishment.

Right I realize that words can not really describe this but is not true that after confession God “forgets” our sins? Is this the way he views the damned?

“Forgets” is just a figure of speech. God is still completelly aware of the factuality of the acts, the eternal penalty of them has simply been remitted.

That would be akward in heaven! Especially for someone like me (if I ever got there)

So then He is not happy?

I don’t think He experiences ANY emotions as we would understand them. Not to say He feels nothing, just that we cannot fathom the way He is, neither can we fathom the way He feels (if feels is exactly the right word).

God is in Eternity - where He is, you have already gone on to whatever your reward will be. Therefore, God is not any less happy than He was before, since He has always been at the place where everything has already finished happening. (As well as everywhere else, too, of course.)

That sounds like predestination to me though I realize obviously God does not force you to do anything.

Yes, and in fact we do believe in this sort of predestination, where God watches you doing things in the future, but doesn’t force you into one decision or another.

No, He sees you there, “right now,” from His point of view.

This presumes that you will, in fact, go to Hell, of course. 🙂
Well sorry for wasting your time I should have realized ealier on that this would be uncomprenshible.
