I just got done reading a question about whether people wanted to come to a BBQ hosted in hell. And the answers made me cry. Do people not realize that hell is a place of torment and punishment? Not party and happy times? It makes me sad to see people don't have respect for their eternal souls.

Kinda like the days of Noah, huh? When the people continued with their earthly, earthy lives and made fun of Noah, imagine how he felt. And most of all imagine how Our Heavenly Father feels to see some of His creation mock Him and refuse His Son's death for them. It's not that they don't respect their souls, it's that they do not believe their souls will live beyond these few yrs on earth. I'm wondering why and how anyone would gamble with their eternity? If I didn't believe, I would think I'd ask myself "What if I'm wrong and I end up forever in the lake of eternal fire"? I would search my heart out for TRUTH!! Bless you and your compassion.

Most of the people here are not serious about religion. They are here to ridicule and poke fun of those of us that are Christian and speak up about it. They will realize one day that they have made a mockery of God for the last time and they will realize that hell is a very real place where they will spend the rest of eternity in torment and agony (not partying like they think they will).

What you need to remember is that not everyone believes in a place called "Hell" People do have respect for life and their souls (If one should believe in such a thing) A joke is just that, I bet they didn't think about anyone taking it seriously and I doubt they are serious about it.

Ever wonder why Jesus says there will be munch groaning and gnashing of teeth? Its all a big game to a lot of these people, can you imagine the horror when reality sets in? They have never seriously looked for the answers, because they know that they may not like what they find. It is actually sad, Americans would rather watch TV and be entertained, then to search for the most important answer in life.

Even the helfire Baptist's took hell out of 8 of 13 translations of the O.T. They put in sheol instead. It seems hell means grave in Hebrew. Many bible figures prayed to go to hell to be protected from adversity, so you tell me what they do there.

I know what you mean. But those are people who are without faith, they don't take religion seriously, they don't believe in life after death or may have many other different views on it. But they don't care, or don't want to know about God and his promises to us. Or that for their sins there is terrible punishment for those who don't except Jesus.
You have to live life as a child of God, and hopefully you will bring some of those people out of the darkness, but have love for them all like Jesus did. It was because he loved and forgave his disciples that they changed. Not everyone will change, and not everyone will stay in his grace, but it is the best hope for souls who are lost.

There is no way they can understand where they are (in relation to GOD)until they see where they are NOT! Right now they still believe that Satan rules over Hell and that if they get on his "good side" (now there's an oxymoron for ya!)then they will be able to "live it up" with no regrets and none of us Christians looking over their shoulders telling them that they are in danger of Hell fire.

no need to be sad - belief is for those who believe. Most believe that in real life now, we are already IN hell or heaven

Your concept of hell comes from Zoroastrianism -- NOT Judaism! Our God condemns no one to eternal torment.

People have no idea, neither do you. It is a place without God. Not much different from earth if you ask me. When was the last time you saw God?
