What is your view of hell?

Question

tell me every thing and anything you think about it. My philosophy class is researching society's view on heaven and hell, my professor thought this would be a good forum

Answer 1

Hell is a form of control through fear. If you are bad, you will go to hell. If you don't convert to this or that religion, or do what I say, you will go to hell.

Get the idea?

Jer. 31:3 God's character is one of love.
2 Pet. 3:9 God is not willing that any should perish.
Heb 12:29 Our God is a consuming fire. To sin, wherever found,
God is a consuming fire.
Mal. 4:1-3 Sinners will ultimately be burned up or turned to ashes.
Ps 37:10 The wicked shall not be.
Ps 37:20 The wicked shall perish.
Matt. 25:46 The punishment will be everlasting. Note the text does
not say "everlasting punishing". It is a single punishment whose
effect lasts forever.
Jude 7 Sodom and Gomorrah are examples of everlasting
punishment and eternal fire. These cities lie in ruins today
underneath a portion of the Dead Sea.
2 Pet 2:6 The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are turned into
ashes.
Matt. 3:11,12 The fire cannot be quenched or put out until it
completes its work of totally eradicating sin from the universe.
Jer. 17:19-27 Jerusalem was destroyed by an unquenchable
fire which human hands could not put out. It completed its
work of totally destroying Jerusalem, yet Jerusalem is not
burning today.
Rev. 20:10 The wicked shall be destroyed forever. Forever does
not always mean endless existence but is literally translated
"until the end of the age".
Ex. 21:6 A slave shall serve his master forever or as long as he
lives.
1 Sam. 1:22,28 Hannah presented Samuel before the Lord
forever or for as long as he would live.
2 Pet. 2:4 The evil angels and all the wicked are reserved unto
judgement. Hell is not burning now.
Rev. 20:9 Fire comes down from God out of heaven and devours
the wiched. They are completely destroyed.
Ezek. 28:17,18 Satan himself will be consumed to ashes.
Isa. 47:14 The fire will burn itself out and there will not even be a
coal to warm at.
Ob.16 The wicked shall be as they had not been.
2 Pet. 3:12,13 The old world shall be disolved but GOd shall
create a new heavens and earth.

According to the Bible, the final destruction of the wicked comes at the end of time. The wicked are reserved unto judgement. (2 Pet. 2:4) Our God is a consuming fire to sin wherever found (Heb.12:29). The fires of Hell originate from heaven at the end of time not some hot spot in the earth (Rev. 20:9) The wicked will be totally consumed. They shall be cut off from the earth.

Answer 4

The most common description of hell is that of fire. Here is a list of some of these descriptions:
fire and brimstone burning wind fiery oven
flames of fire judgment by fire unquenchable fire
furnace of fire eternal fire eternal punishment
fiery hell pits of darkness lake of fire
Since there could possibly be a lot of party people in hell, one might think that it will be one big party. However, the problem is that the likes of Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and other unsavory characters will be there also. In order to keep those people from tormenting their neighbors excessively, all the inhabitants will be restrained through punishment (with the amount increasing with the degree of restraint required). This list below tells of some of the things that the inhabitants of hell will be going through:
smoke of their torment, no rest day and night
weeping and gnashing of teeth, tormented
death their worm, does not die
destruction
Why does there need to be a hell? Since many would say that God could just destroy the evil people, rather than condemn them to a place of torment. The problem is that God made spiritual beings (humans and angels) as eternal creatures. In fact, the Bible says that God has put the knowledge of the eternal nature of our spirits within each of us:
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11)
Since God is absolutely holy, He cannot be in the direct presence of sinful creatures. Therefore, all who are sinful must be separated from God and cannot be allowed to enter into His home (heaven). Hell is the place where these people must go, away from the presence of God.The Christian interpretation of hell is a place of eternal torment. However, the Bible also includes a number of verses that suggest that those who are condemned to hell are eventually destroyed.

Answer 5

there's a Hell. In it, one faces separation from God. Reminder: all are interior the presence of God dazzling now. Hell as a place of exact torment is, i've got confidence, meant to grant the reader a very good concept of the point of emotional torment we are able to adventure in Hell. The soreness from burns is taken under consideration one of the actual ten of worst pains we are in a position to adventure as human beings, so it variety of feels to me to be an perfect metaphor for a place of torment. as far as who is going there, that is people who have not many times happening the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on the pass.

Answer 6

All the people who are on here that laugh about hell will someday be there and the worst of it is they will remember All the things they said and did on here it will be a place of remembrance , Every time some one witnessed to them they will be in Hell remembering that they at one time had a chance not to be there but instead slandered and spit on the name of Jesus Christ ,How horrible it will be for them to know that they rejected a God that Loved them so much that he died in there place , there eyes will be opened to the truth and it will start at the point of death not one second later but right at that time they will know what a fool they where

Answer 7

Hell is a space between "heaven" and "earth" where the spirits/consciences of people who have passed sit and contemplate the evils they have done in their life on earth.

It is a dark space, where one is completely ALONE with ones thoughts and memories of ones life. Left to think. To contemplate. To mourn. To grieve. To be given a chance to beg God for forgiveness. To call out for help ~ and to in the end be warmed by the light of an all forgiving God if we do so. Those who do not ~ remain there ~ eternally.

I do not believe in the traditional Christian Hell of fire and brimstone and lakes of fire. But I do think, if we die, and are left alone, without the light of God and all the beauty of the Heavens before us. Left alone to realize we did so much wrong in our lives and hurt so many people.

That is the ultimate Hell.

Answer 8

The complete absence of God. When you truly feel his love, you feel something that is beyond human emotion. I believe the worst possible version of hell would be isolation from his love, your soul completely alone and isolated for eternity. I know this is not Biblical but this is what came to me the first time I felt his presence. I was so overwhelmed by his comfort and love.

Never to feel that again would be hell.

Answer 9

Hell is not a place or a thing. Hell is a state of mind, your mind is trapped because you no longer have a physical body. It's like before you were born you did exist to the world but somewhere your mind was there..in the space..in the unknown..waiting to fill a body...and after your body dies your mind returns to that same place where nothing really exists...

Answer 10

Aside from the fire and brimstone, eternal torment and torture..hell is a place of eternal separation from God.
Hell is a place that was created for the devil and his angels(the ones that followed satan in his rebellion against God)...but now, because of Jesus' sacrifice, and others spurning that gift, hell, I'm sure, will have several other occupants aside from the devil and his imps.
No God, no death to ease the suffering..eternal torment. A place that, if people really knew the truth about it, no one would want to end up in.

Answer 11

In my religion mythology says that heaven is like with all pleasures, wth beautiful people and all comforts and hell is pain. However there is much higher level than heaven, that is salvation. So, I would like to go there instead of heaven, because souls going to heaven can take birth again, but salvation is eternal bliss. I am hindu.
