Answer 1

Oh, didn't you hear it? Now they're saying that the torture of hell is not that you'll actually burn, but that you'll be departed from your beloved god. I say if you've lived your life away from god, why would you want to be next to him (even assuming he existed) for the rest of eternity? Hell rocks!

Answer 2

You were not flesh before you arrived on Earth. But you feel pain here, you can be burned, the difference is eventually your physical body will die if under a constant flame. In hell your suffering will not end, because your physical body is already dead. Why is hell such a hard concept for people to grasp? The sun has been burning for millions of years,it hasn't went away, it still burns. Try not to limit your thinking to earthly things. None of us know what exactly will happen in heaven or hell. But why take chances with your immortal soul? Do you think our universe is an accident. Gee we have food to eat, water to drink, air to breathe. How nice that those things just popped up here by accident. Why would those things be here without a reason? What would you have said if we lived in the year 2000 bc, and I told you the earth was round, and there are several planets that rotate around the sun. There are millions of galaxies, just like ours. You would have not believed me, because although you can see stars in the sky, you really don't know what they are, or why they are there. As humans we only want to believe in things we can touch, taste, or feel here and now. If we can't explain it rationally then we refuse to believe it. OPEN YOUR MIND.

Answer 3

Ok, speaking from a Biblical standpoint, our bodies are of flesh now. Right ? When we die, it turns to dust.
Jesus will make our bodies whole again when He returns. The saved will be resurrected 1000 years before the unsaved.
The saved will be given a new, perfect body- like God's.
The unjust will be resurrected too, amde whole again and judged at the "White Throne Judgement"; they will be thrown into 'Gehenna'/ the Lake of Fire. They will burn UP like chaff, which is the garbage left over from harvesting wheat. It burns up in an instant, not forever in torment, like MOST Organized Churches want you to believe. If people knew the truth, wold they give ALL of that money to the Churches ? NO ! And this is why the preiests don't teach what the Bible states, they only preach what fits their agenda. AND they know that people are generally lazy and won't check it for themselves, which is 90% true !
Hope that helps.

Answer 4

I'm not sure what you mean by published, especially since it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know the answer. When the Bible talks about hell burning with fire, it is a metaphor for the judgment of God. It does not mean a literal burning of our body, nor does it mean a burning of our soul. It is simply referring to the judgment of God. There are many other times in the Scriptures where the judgment of God is referred to as fire.

People who believe that hell is a literal place of burning are unlearned in the Scriptures, and unfortunately, some of them seem to take pleasure in telling people that if they don't come to God their flesh will burn and blister and smell forever. They have missed the point entirely, and they have a lack of love for other people as well.

Answer 5

The teaching of 'hellfire' is false. Hell [ in the Bible, Hades] cannot be a permanent place of torment, because Revelation 20;14 states that both death and Hades will be done away with. Cast into the ' lake of fire'
This is supported by Revelation 21;4. Where death and sickness will be done away with. What always goes with death?..It is mans grave. Whether in a cemetery or in the ocean.
Revelation 20; 12 & 13 mention both.
As to where the idea of a fiery place of eternal torment came from....(Revelation 20:10) And the Devil who was misleading them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where both the wild beast and the false prophet [already were]; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

This is the same 'place' or condition . The lake of fire. It is not literal, but is symbolic of total destruction or rendering un-usable.
Satan, his demons, death, Hades, the wild beast and the false prophet all have the same outcome. They will be done away with.

Answer 6

the inventors of the bible were actually not very intelligent to think about different states...

they imagined that we will all have our physical bodies, hence there were some people to were "snatched" into heaven, body and all

it would be pretty hard to punish anyone without the physical burn of fire if they were not physical.

and falling in an endless pit is a scary thought for an unintelligent person, but if you think well, it's pretty much like floating endlessly.

Answer 7

Well, I think it is meant as a formless "burn" in that it is your soul is burning, not your real body.

While I disagree in the existence of a soul, I am only trying to explain what I understand a certain view is.

Possibly, when people say burn, they really mean, to suffer for eternity or to feel mental anguish for eternity. I doubt they specifically meant burning physically.

Answer 8

Whether the flames of hell are literal or figurative, I don't know and I don't plan on finding out. What I do know is that hell is a place of anguish. It might be spiritual anguish, but that's just as bad a physical anguish. Hell is eternal separation from God.
But the good news is nobody has to go there. Jesus Christ died to save sinners like you and me from hell.

Answer 9

Why do human beings have faith in something without info? There would not must be and info, you basically have faith in it. Did you choose any info to have faith in Santa Clause once you have been little? No. you do no longer choose info to renowned something is there, you basically have faith! Believing in heaven is what can get you thru hard cases . understanding that by using each and every of the discomfort and suffering, there is yet another existence, a suitable existence. regardless of if interior the top, i stumble on that there is not any heaven, I won't be apologetic approximately believing in it. The dream of heaven is a shred of desire in a less than excellent worldwide.

Answer 10

You will have your physical body at the resurrection, and at judgment. Those banished to hell will not literally burn - but their mind and conscience will burn and they will weep and gnash their teeth knowing that they could have done better, and ended up in a better place. Hell will be a state of mind - the searing of your conscience forever.
