I believe that Hell will be the final destruction of Planet earth at the end of the millenium, when God rains down fire upon the wicked.
Revelation 20.
That Hell fire is God's strange act upon the wicked. God doesn't desire that anyone be lost but that all should come to repentance.
I believe that God himself will Cry at the final judgement of the wicked. He has given them every opportunity conceivable to man to save them from final destruction.
Have faith dear friends in God.
John 3:16

I know that hell is a place, that it existst, I know that individuals that go there will be cognisant of where they are, and they will infact see Heven, but will not be able to partake. I do not know if there is interaction among menbers of hell, however it is described as a place of anguish "of wailing and gnashing of teeth"
Most people don't accept God on the basis if "how can an all loving God send me to a place like hell?, I'm not a bad person". And yet if they read the Bible they would understand that due to one mans sin we have all fallen short of the holy mark. Adam's transgression in carried forward to all of us. Furthermore God is not sending you to hell YOU ARE! God will ensure yo get there but the Bible is clear on the in Romans ch 5 ..."for the wages of sin is death (eternal death or hell which is what hell really means eternal death) but the (free) gift of God is eternal life thru Jesus Christ our Lord....."
A person resigned to the fact that God is some cosmic goodie 2 shoes , and is all about making life miserable for us on earth by not letting us have any fun is poppy cock. The ul;timate sin is to not acceot His offer of eternal life freely given by His Son The Lord Jesus Christ. So infact every action before and after the denial of the invitation to accept Jesus is in fact the payment for the sins passed down from your past ancestors, the ones you own up to at present, and the ones you will commit. The payment for a sinful life with out a redeamer is Hell, eternal separation from God, cast out into outer darkness. Unlike the old joke of being in hell cause thats where my friends will be is not so funny when you think that regardless of why you are there you will bow the knee to the Lord Jesus Christ. he went there ahead of you to take away the sing of this death and has the authority to keep you from hell...so what are you waiting for....
I hope this helps

I'm a little confused on the subject and don't know what to believe.
1. Some believe Hell is a PHYSICAL place with real fire that really burns
2. Some believe Hell is a SPIRITUAL place where you are completely cut off from God, where it is described as "fire" because it is spiritual torture being completely cut off from God.
I don't know which one to believe. #2 makes sense to me, but #1 is what most Christians believe.

What the bible writes about it.
Bill Weise has a book written about an out of body experience in or near hell. And another person had a brief experience near hell who died & came back to life. But the Lord let him know there was a hell because even some Christians don't believe in hell. And another person died & went to hell's gates & he asked Jesus 'why ?' & Jesus said he wasn't born again. So this happened twice & then he got born again.
Jesus said that hell is prepared for the devil & his angels. So? At judgment of certain people who persecuted Christians, Jews & children, was that they didn't help Jesus when He was sick, in prison, etc... (Jesus said that those who love & obey Him are his Family). These were then the devils angels/messengers. And they were thrown into hell. Some people choose to be the devils messengers.
I believe that there is heaven & hell. But also a place of rest. Because of Revelation20:12 And I saw the dead, small & great stand before God; & the books were opened: & another book was opened that is the book of life; & the dead were judged out of thoses things that were written in the books, according o their works.
And the sea gave up the dead who were in it; and death & hell delivered up the dead who were in them: & they were judged everone according to their works.
And death & hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the 2nd death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
To me this Great White Throne Judgment is of those not redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb. Those redeemed are part of the 1st Resurrection before the Millinnium Reign of Christ. Their names are written in the Lambs book of Life. And the 2nd death has no threat over them. So? Not all of those are in hell fire. As it writes like the dead come from different places.
And there are different places described. Hell where the rich man who persecuted the poor man went. The poor man was a believer in God & went to Abrahams bosom. He had his soul senses. He could taste the dryness. He could hear. He could see those in Abrahams bosom. He could feel & smell.
Then there is an outer darkness of weeping & gnashing of teeth.
And hell is also compared to Gehinna fire where they burned trash & passed children through the fire to devils. See, this grieved God too much. & I believe because of this there is a hell fire. Since hell is made for the devil & his angels.
Our sin separates us from God, & Jesus paid the price for our sins. Hell is separation from God & the Kingdom of heaven. Everlasting is faith, hope, love, peace, etc... Hell is the opposite; doubt, fear, rejection, hate, etc...

This may make many of believers turn against me. I think hell's description is symbolic of experiencing regret for our sins. The closest example I can give is what was portrayed in the movie "What Dreams May Come" staring Robin Williams. The judgment and conviction comes upon us based on our own actions during our life times.

I believe as it is told that Hell, is where Satan and his angels shall spend eternity. The worst part of Hell for me besides the eternal pain, sickness and hunger is this. A complete seperation from the Lord Jesus Christ. A place where he will not hear your prayers. Once you go to Hell, there is no second chance, their is no awakening of the Soul or a chance to be reborn. Hell is place where the damned have chosen. A place where I shall never wish upon anyone.

I believe what the Bible says about hell. It is most interesting that the Lord Jesus talked a lot about hell. It is a place of separation from God, and anything Godly.........a place of torment, a place where regrets and thoughts torment one's mind, a place of outer darkness, a place of eternal damnation. Hell was created for the devil and his angels, but has been enlarged to accept folks who do not love the Lord, Who gave His life to save them from such a place.

Exactly what the Bible says about it.
That it is where those who do not believe in Jesus Christ, who reject His free gift of salvation, end up after they die. It is a place where they are eternally separated from God.
And it is because of sin, we all sin and fall short of God's glory as Romans 3:23 says. And the wages of sin is death- Romans 6:23 But the free gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ! God is Holy and Just and cannot allow sin into heaven- and we all must be redeemed, forgiven- and it is only through Jesus Christ ( see John 14:6)
hell is a real place, and it is a place of suffering....because that is the punishment for sin. I would wish hell upon no one!This is what the bible says about hell, how it describes it:
Matthew 10:28
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Mark 9:47-49
47(A) And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than with two eyes to be thrown into(B) hell, 48'where(C) their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.' 49For everyone will be salted with fire.[a]
Matthew 22:13
Then the king said to the attendants, 'Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
Also see Revelation 20- speaking of the second death which is the lake of fire...that is where all of those whose names are not found written in the book of life are cast down-- (those who are not saved in Jesus Christ) also hell and hades are thrown there along with satan and the anti christ.

Hell is total self-absorption. It is choosing to focus on the future or the past but getting no pleasure out of either. Hell, is the mind filtering out all the good and the beauty that are right in this very moment. It is a terrible place to be. I know. I've been there. I don't intend to go back.

I believe Hell exists. I believe it may be a place of punishment until forgiven by God for any offensives committed during your time on earth.
