I don't know if hope will exist in hell. Perhaps it will. It would be worse off with it than without it though, because I think there will be no truth to it, no ability to gain that which is hoped for. So, those in hell may be better off if there is no hope at all there.

As for as the forever part, I think one is there forever if that is indeed God's will. I know I haven't done nearly enough study to say for sure that once there, always there is a sure thing. My take is, why go there at all when the price has been paid so you don't have to? We've all experianced a "hell on earth" or can at least imagine it... why pursue a path that pushes you away from truth, from love, from wisdom, from every good and perfect thing? It's not as if you have to trade in your appeal to reason at the door. It's not as if you have to delete the word science and all that's connected to it from your brain. Quite the opposite, I think. Jesus said he was the truth; to me this means anything.... *anything* true is of Christ. I'll gladly take the path that gives me all I could ever truly benefit from.

Hell was prepared for the devil and his angels, not for Adam's race. The gift of God through faith in Jesus Christ is eternal life. That life is not separate from God, but is the very life of Christ.

If you have Christ's own life you are one with Him and will live with Him forever. If you do not have that life you cannot live eternally anywhere, let alone in hell.

There are some humans, mostly very religious, who are going to spend a long time with the devil and his angels. After judgment without Christ you face a second death, punishment forever, and any tears regarding you will be banished from our eyes and your memory erased for eternity.

That is the situation with eternal life outside of time. Until that time, here on earth, eternal life is living your life for others in the spirit of Christ.

Hell is just a figment of the imagination. It's fear mongering that was created to keep people in line, to make them think there's some kind of price to pay for not following the status quo. The only hell there is is what your mind conceives it to be, so let go of all that negativitiy, and embrace the idea of death being happy, joyous & free, something to look forward to. The ultimate joyride.

Yes, hell is eternal. "And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire" (Revelation 20:15). Mattew 18:8 refers to hell as the "eternal fire". But the Good News is that you don't have to go there!
Jesus died on the cross for your sins. He rose from the dead on the 3rd day. He took your sin, judgement, hell, and death upon Himself so that you don't have to. This is how much God loves you! "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16)
Accept Christ as Lord and Savior today. You will have new meaning and purpose as you seek to live for Him. And when you leave this earth you will go to Heaven.

Yes, on the judgment day you'll be called by your full name in front of all humans, then Allah (God) will ask you questions, then all the things you've done in you life are scaled in front of you, if the bad things side is higher than the good side you'll be sent to hell, if it's the other way, you'll be sent to heaven, and if they were equal you'll set in a place between heaven and hell it's more like a mountain, then after a time (not sure how long) Allah's mercy will send you to heaven inshallah.

Only the Muslims who scarified themselves, family, money, and their life on earth for Allah, are going to Paradise immediately, they won't be scaled by they're actions in the first life.
He is called "Shaheed", Allah says in Quran "Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord;".

The closest thing to "hell"...which is not damnation in a fire zone...is the spirit needing to go into constant reincarnate state...without rejuvination or period of peace, without reuniting with loved ones, without a recharting option... until Spirit finally touches base & acknowledges it's God created Self & fulfills the purpose it came to life to begin with....keep in mind that a full lifetime here (like 70 yrs.) is only moments in Home-time--like running to the store. This state of instant reincarnation is reserved for spirits that separate themselves from God altogether during their lifetime here...those that simply refuse to remember Who They Are...those without a "conscience"...it is never an eternity, because all eventually "get it" and return Home to join the Whole. Yea, with the faith of a mustard seed can you move mountains....and go Home.

Yes, But God gave us a Decision to follow him and have Eternal life forever and there would be no pain or suffering, or you can not follow god and go to hell!! He makes it clear that the Decision is ours and what we do with it is up to us!!! In the bible it says "For God so LOVED the world that he GAVE his only beggotton SON, And whoever believes in HIM shall have everlasting LIFE" John 3:16 --- But please understand i'm not preaching to you, i'm just giving you HOPE

I'm afraid so Revelation 20:11-15 and Revelation 21:8 afer you die if you haven't accepted Christ as your personal Saviour that is the final destination of all that are listed in Rev.21:8

Yes! There is no hope in hell but we have to keep in mind that it is not God's will that anybody goes there. Hell is the absence of God so for those who hate God, they are being given their hearts desire. God is fair and just and he would be neither if he forced man to be where they did not want to be.

Yes. The place and time to make the choices for eternity is here and now. Choose Christ. Invite Him into your life. Repent of your sins and your reward will be eternity in heaven, rather than hell. God bless!
