What do you think "Hell" is?

Answer 1

Here is a brief description of what the Bible says about Hell, the lake of fire. Hell is the eternal destination of the lost. It is a place of eternal torments, darkness, weeping, pain, and gnashing of teeth. Hell is not a funny or a light subject. It is deadly serious. Consider that as you read below the Biblical description of what hell will be like:

"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." (Rev 20:15)
"Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast [them] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire." (Matthew 18:8,9)

CONCLUSION
Well that is quite a description of hell isn't it. Hell certainly is not a place that i would like to visit let alone spend eternity there.

There is a cure however. You see the Lord Jesus Christ(who is God in human flesh) became man and died on the cross & purchased a place in heaven for all who will reach out in repentance and faith to receive that gift of salvation. You see the cure for sin is the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross.

You have a decision to make. Are you going to be like that cancer patient who rejected the cure? Are you going to reject the Lord Jesus and His shed blood which will wash away your sin?

Well lets see now, when I smoked cigarettes it was when I didn't have a light. When I drank it was when I couldn't get the God damned bottle open! Oh, and that gridlock traffic; that's more Hellish that Hell; but still in that vien I would think. Now if I had a drink and a smoke it would be less so, I suppose; could be rather pleasant really!!

Hell is an eternal pit of burning fire, lava, coal, and torture. Hell is not temporary. Earth is, though. Hell is not where you go if you do something bad, but rather where you go if you reject God. But... heaven: Heaven's beautiful, I'm sure. Streets of gold, quality time with Jesus, pefection. I can''t wait.

Answer 4

The result of God's Beloved Child becoming afraid, and falling into sleep, and dreaming of being separate from God and everything else; but it is a causeless result, meaning it never was created, therefore, cannot exist. Nothing unreal exists. There is only God (Perfect Love) and everything God created, and continues to create...and we with Him.
