Many believe that the lake of fire and brimstone is hell.
The word "fire" is from the Greek PUR. This is typically translated as
"fire, fiery, or lightening". The word indicates a display of light and is a symbol of enlightenment.
"Burn" is from KAIO which means to set on fire or to consume.
"Brimstone" comes from THEION which is the neutral form of THEIOS which in turn comes from THEOS. THEIOS is interpreted as "Godlike" or "divine", and THEOS is "God.
The Bible reads today nothing like it was in the original languages. IMO the meaning hidden in the words of the Bible are very esoteric and meaningful but not many take the time to explore and understand the symbolism and depth involved. Passion? Motivation? Divine Godlike enlightenment? You're quite intuitive from my perspective Corey :-) Keep up the good work!

No.. The fire of Hell doesn't mean the inner fire passion and motivation.... It means real fire..
Revelation 20:10 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."

When thinking of Hell… think of all the pain and emptiness we see and feel in our own lives and in the lives of others as (we / they) experience mans inhumanity to man, disease, hunger, etc. Now take away the blessings we get from God without asking… instead of light… darkness, instead of beauty…ugliness, instead of health… sickness, instead of love… sorrow and grieving… HELL.
Law of The Farm – you reap what you sow. If you live your life wanting separation from God and his truths on Earth… you will reap eternal separation.

nice take. . . although hellfire is usually meant in a much more literal sense. like: bring the marshmallows. actually, could you please bring some marshmallows? now that i've thought about it, i'm sure i've got some graham crackers and chocolate. . .
