If Hell is a place apart from God, is this Hell?

Question

Cause where's God, not here.

And if He's everywhere then He's in Hell too, or He's not everywhere.

So if God is in Hell, why can't you "find" Him there?

Answer 1

That is all assuming that God exists. If he doesn't, he's nowhere, and Hell doesn't exist either.

Answer 2

Hi There,
Hell is in the centre of the earth, where there is sulpher(brimstone) that is where the pits of hell is and it is a place that no body wants to go to. God is everywhere, His Spirit is everywhere, God uses his Spirit to give Christians peace and non Christians a conscience. God is no longer in hell, Jesus spent 3 days down there and then rose from the dead. Its hard to grasp and I only received this understanding yesturday and it all kinda slots into place. Hope this helps you xx

Answer 3

Hell is the complete separation from God. Although you might nor be able to see Him in the world, He is here.
Yes, God is omnipresent, He is everywhere at once, But hell is the absence of God, just like the dark is the absence of light.

Answer 4

God is Light. Absence from God is darkness- you cant see in the dark, it is utter confusion and blindness; that is what it is compared to. Before acceptance of the truth that Jesus is the way to God, we live with a veil over our eyes. We are unable to understand the nature of God, and have no understanding about Him; because our nature, is unable to comprehend His Light; because we are blind to it. When you accept that Jesus is the way, truth and light of God, and ask Him into your heart, then the veil is lifted- the Holy Spirit comes upon you. The job of the Holy SPirit is to guide you and counsel you. No one comes to know the father except through the son; the son is the only way. The son covers our evil, giving us axcess to God; without the appearance of cleanliness; God cannot even look upon us, we first have to be cleansed by the son. The son washes our sins away, and makes us acceptable for the father. The son reveals God to whom He sees fit. This is all explained in the Word. God is perfect, and His perfection demands the correct arragement of things. Light and darkness cannot co-exist. The light chases away the shadow of darkness. Darkness cannot exist in the light. God is not in hell. Living apart from God is a type and shadow of hell, only hell is far, far worse. because it is not only darkness, confusion, but torment. One day, God wont seem like such a fairy tale. And after the realization that He IS real, that is when those who refuse to believe,will be seperated completely from God. See, He is not some pretend God- He IS GOD. And He has made Himself known; to all who come to Him. The way to Him, is clear. If God is not here to you, then you are not saved. God does not know you, and you do not know Him. To find Him, you must seek Him, and accept the sacrifice given for you. I can witness to the fact that God is here; because His Holy Spirit dwells inside of me. You too can know Him. He wants all of us to. He loves us, with a love that will melt away every part of you that hurts, cries, has pain..He is the comforter. If you do not have His protection, then the enemy of God has you, and is leading you to destruction and death. That emptiness, only God can fill.

Answer 5

God is light; darkness is the absence of light. Hell is the absence of God. God dwells within the earth in the hearts of those who invite Him, and wherever else He choses to be. The earth is not hell...even though there is much darkness in it, there is still some light too. Hell is completely without God; it is darkness, the absence of God.

Answer 6

But hell is not a place!

Its a state of existence without God.

You don't find God in hell by definition.

Thats why hell is greed, misery, jealousy, hate, loneliness, isolation, insecurity, bitterness, sense of guilt, fear, and everything opposite to what God is.

Answer 7

+ Hell +

This is not hell. Hell is much worse.

Hell is the state of complete and final self-exclusion from communion with God and the blessed, reserved for those who refuse by their own free choice to believe and be converted from sin, even to the end of their lives.

+ Where is God? +

Where can I hide from your spirit?
From your presence, where can I flee?
If I ascend to the heavens, you are there;
if I lie down in Sheol, you are there too.
If I fly with the wings of dawn
and alight beyond the sea,
Even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand hold me fast.
(Psalm 139:7-10)

Most Monotheists including Jews, Christians, and Muslims believe that God is omnipresent (everywhere).

With love in Christ.

Answer 8

It is the hardest thing in the world to believe in something. So, sometimes, there are unanswered questions. However, this pressing question can be answered. To put it plainly, Earth is a testing ground. If you fail, you end up in Hell. If you pass, you end up in Heaven.

Answer 9

God cannot be where there is sin. We cannot look Him in the eye because His the glory emanating from Him to too great. He is in heaven. Also, this is not hell. Hell is where Satan is.

Answer 10

I think it is just something contrived by the government to get more tax money. But that is a good question, I always thought of earth as heaven if you have a lot of money or hell otherwise.
