What do you believe Hell is? Is there a way to escape it?

Answer 1

Hell IS other people. And a state of mind. And, the last 30 minutes of work.

Yes there ways of escaping these, but in general we suffer through.

Answer 2

Believing in Hell is belief in the world of the unseen. The reason I believe in Hell is firstly because I believe in God. My belief in God led me to believe in the Quran as the final and unchanged word of God. The Quran clearly defines Hell to th extent that our minds can comprehend and relate to it. In short it is a place of punishment for the sins we commit against ourselves, our fellow human beings and our Creator. All human beings will see Hell during Judgement Day; some of us will be punished there forever, others will be punished for some period of time and others will not enter it. It is easy to joke about Hell and Heaven but I found even funnier that the people who joke about belief in the unseen, including belief in God, refuse to joke about belief that we and the whole universe were created by chance. If they cannot laugh at that thought then they have a serious problem. As one sceintist said that the probablity of this universe being created by chance is a million times less than that of a hurricane passing over a junk yard and in its path leaving behind a jumbo jet 777. I also find it funny that these same people do not laugh at the idea that a dog was a cat and a giraffe was a pig and bird was a frog much less a man was a monkey but a monkey was a donkey? can a Pentium 4 even become a Pentium 5 in a billion years? Can a BMW model 2000 ever become a model 2001 in a trillion years? It is funny that when we see anything we always KNOW that somebody made it except when it comes to Creation itself. So again we have to understand the question is not whether there is a Hell or not, rather where did we come from? who created us? who is our Creator? Can you tell your 5 year old child that Mt. Rushmore (stupid statues) were created over a million years of evolution due to whethering or climate changes and so on? if you can't believe that a bunch of stupid rocks or pyramids were created by chance than how can you believe this intelligent design was?

Answer 3

Hell is the experience of the worst possible outcome of your choices, decisions, and creations. It is the natural consequence of any thought which denies God or says no to Who You are in relationship to God. It is the pain you suffer through wrong thinking.

Hell is the Opposite of JOY. It is unfulfillment. It is knowing Who and What You Are, and failing to experience that. It is being less. That is hell, and there is none greater for your soul.

But Hell does NOT exist as this place we have fantasized, where we burn in some everlasting fire, or exist in some state of everlasting torment. What purpose would that serve?

Yet there is an experience of the soul so unhappy, so incomplete, so less than whole, so separated for God's greatest joy, that to your soul this would BE HELL. But God does NOT send you there. Nor are you Visited upon. YOU, YOUR SELF, create the experience, whenever and however you separate your Self from you own hightest thought about your SELF. Or when you DENY your SELF; Whenever YOU REJECT Who and What you REALLY ARE.

"PURE LOVE"

Answer 4

I don't believe in Hell but believe in the consequences of our bad deeds. Hell, if it it anywhere, it has to be in our own heat that we feel remorse for doing something that we shouldn't have done. It feeling of guilt that can burn us like hell. How to escape it? If we do the right things and do not hurt other in any way, we can escape hell but not only that secure our place in heaven. What i mean by heaven is that feeling of happiness.

Answer 5

Hell exist in the minds of people. You can escape it by not allowing external factors influence your well being. It's what you make it and therefore, you hold the power to escape it.

Answer 6

Many religions teach the "hellfire" doctrine, yet, they also teach that God is Love. And if such a place really exists, then the creator of it would have to be the loving God that is also taught. Would a God of love inflict torture that even humans would find revolting? Of course not. Is the teaching of hell logical? Would everlasting torment be a just punishment for the few sins that a man would commit in a lifetime-No. Quoting the Bible, at Ecclesiastes 3:19, 20, it says "As the {beast} dies, so the {man} dies; and they all have but one spirit..All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are returning to the dust." There is no mention of a fiery hell. We return to dust. ..nonexistence, in order to be tormented one has to be conscious, are the dead conscious? No, "The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten." Ecclesiastes 9:5. It is impossible for the dead, "conscious of nothing at all to experience the agonies of hellfire. Some say the doctrine of hellfire is useful, as it creates a deterrent to sinfullness, at Romans 6:23, is the statement "The wages sin pays is death." And when sinners repent God forgives them. Life is a gift from God. When we sin we no longer deserve that gift. Because our forefathers Adam and Eve deliberately disobeyed God by eating of the fruit, they passed along their sinful tendencies, to us their offspring. But God forgives those who repent sincerely and try to change their ways. He rewards our efforts, 'to make our minds over' and do good Romans 12:2, because of this we have hope. We cease to exist when we die. Jesus confirmed our hope when he said: "The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear {God's} voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment." John 5: 28, 29

Answer 7

Hell is an imaginary construct created by people that desired to control other people. Hence the threat of hell if you don't behave the way that you are told to. Hell does not really exist (unless you consider where we are now to be hell, as I am sure many do).

Answer 8

I believe it is an offense to an all loving and merciful God to think that he would allow eternal suffering. You escape hell because it doesn't exist. No matter what religion you are, accept the beliefs of othters and do no harm.

Answer 10

hell is the reality u live in where you can't smile or laugh at everything even if u try hard enough...the minute something gets to you permanently.....you are in hell.....the way to escape it is to remember that within the next 100 years you will be dead and it won't really matter..so you might as well make the most of what you've got and the best way to do that is enjoy it..good or bad....so smile and quit worrying about the 'what ifs'
