Is going to hell important for spiritual growth?

Question

I want to borrow this from a friend of mine named Mirtha,


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?


So, what does this mean?

Answer 1

in reading your interpretations of the words it makes wonderful sense
we cannot appreciate light until we have been in the dark

it is my own personal belief that only when we have been through the worst times can we see lessons in life
only when we have experienced pain can we truly know love and compassion
we all need our own personal hell

Answer 2

Actually Hell as translated from the greek is hades or sheol in Hebrew and means the pit or grave and being dead does not improve any thing also read Rev 20 :13-15 where it says at the end that this means the second death the lake of fire Gorbalizer

Mr. Reg notes God created mankind to be stored . At the identical time God created us as truly beings in a position of figuring out whether or not we might are living in everlasting blessing or now not . The trap to this determination that's mentally visible to decide upon blessing , is it isn't so visible to our soul it grates towards our soul to are living correct and suppose correct . Doing the correct factor includes loving our our neighbor as though that different man or woman have been our self . This is often referred to as watching the Law of Moses . In the New Testament interval persons have been enabled to become aware of God's such a lot Holy Law by way of the eyes of Love enabled by means of SPIRIT and the Holy Ghost and the Holy Spirit . Even despite the fact that persons have been enabled; J'Hoshua (Jesus ) stated the man or woman who might be stored honestly might ought to undergo to the tip ( lead to Greek way conclude line on this use of the Greek ) That stated such trustworthy then , now not earlier than have God's such a lot Holy Law written of their hearts and reap to soul transformation . Such then eternally are living a lifetime of rectification in different-mindedness . Paul says that now not all will throw off the spacesuit "we will now not all ' sleep ' however we will all be modified " .

Answer 4

I don't really believe in all that coding and translation stuff. The bible has obviously lost its meaning over the years, but anyway it does say that Jesus went to hell, so there you have it. You might just be onto something.

In Luke 16:22"The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23In hell,[c] where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire. ( Maybe it was for this man, he later asked for others left there to be warned of hell) 27"He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, 28for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'

29"Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.'

30" 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'

31"He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' "
