What does the Koran say about hell, or any other religious books?
2006-07-26 09:35:39 · update #1
A place of weeping and gnashing of teeth - (Matthew 25:30).
A place of outer darkness - (Matthew 22:13).
A place of torments - (Luke 16:23).
A place of Sorrows - (2 Samuel 22:6).
A place of everlasting destruction -
(2 Thessalonians 1:9).
A place where men are tormented with fire and brimstone - (Revelation 21:8).
A place where fire is not quenched - (Mark 9:44).
A bottomless pit - (Revelation 9:2).
A place of no rest - (Revelation 14:11).
It is ultimately a lake of fire - (Revelation 20:14).
A place of hopeless of unsatisfied desires - (Luke 16:24). The rich man wanted water but could not get any.
A place of hopelessness and suffering - as a woman is about to give birth to a child, many go through painful labor that can last from a few minutes to a few days. But through this painful anguishing time, there is hope that when the child is born this terrible labor pain will subside. Just imagine if you can if that pain was multiplied many times over and you would never have hope of it ever going away forever? You would do anything to die to get rid of the pain, but it would always remain and continue forever and ever and ever. THIS IS HELL!
A place of memory - When a person is tormented with a bitter memory they sometimes may commit suicide as a way out. In hell this is impossible because your spirit will never die, but will always remember how you sold your soul for the pleasures of this short sinful life. You will continue to always wish you were in heaven instead of hell, if only you would have made the right decision.

I don't know but here is my description:
Hell is a very dreadful place that is very hot and red. The devil will always stick pitchforks at you and make you get to work. You will never get a break and never sleep or eat but the worst part is that once your in hell there is no way out because you can't kill your self because you're already dead. Hell comes around if you don't belive in God, you only believe in the Devil (where you are treated nicer if you like him), or if you are badly behaved and caused many many sins that Jesus can no longer for give.
HERE IS MY DESCRIPTION OF HEAVEN
You enter and beautiful golden gates await you. You are will all your friends and pets. You have your own beautiful mansion and you get to live the luxury life for once. It is like Earth except everyone is nice and young and the best part is that it never ends. There is no sickness, misery, rebels, pain, meaness and everything else that has hatred. It is like a great side of Earth with no end. And if you are extra good you might even meet God himself.

A piece from Revelations in the Bible "...But cowards who turn away from me, and unbelievers, and the corrupt, and murderers, and the immoral, and those who practice witchcraft, and idol worshipers, and all liars--their doom is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death." Throughout the last book in the Bible, there are many passages that describe what will happen before, during, and after judgement day. I don't think the word HELL is actually used though.

There isn't any description of hell in the Bible. There are only a couple of spots in the Bible where the term actually exists in the oldest texts. Almost everywhere you see the word 'hell' in the Bible, it's a FALSE translation (not mistranslation, it was done with intent) of
- the grave
- Gehenna (a physical place outside Jerusalem at the time)
- Hades (yes, the Greek underworld Hades)
- Tartarus (yes, the Greek underworld pit of Tartarus)
The lake of fire in Revelation is not hell, because it says that hell and death are thrown into the lake of fire. Can you throw hell into itself? Can you throw death into anything at all? No, and no.

There isn't one. Hell was "invented" after the bible, to basically scare up church membership. A great book on the subject is "The History of Hell" by Alice K. Turner.

The description is outer darkness, terror, gnashing of teeth, torment, smoke and flames,intolerable thirst. After the judgement Hell is going to be thrown in the lake of fire. But until then this is what it's like.

Read "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" by Jonathan Edwards for the best perspective you will ever find!

being apart from god. The rest was all man made crap to scare people into doing what the religious leaders wanted them to do. Rule by fear.

Which part of hell? I'd be more concerned about which part of Heaven to spend eternity in!

It's sort of like Detroit.
