Christians have long held that hell is a choice that is made by the one who arrives there (e.g., in Matt. 7:13-14 Jesus says those who choose the broad path walk to destruction). Essentially, then, God does not send people to hell. Rather, people send themselves.
A misconception about hell is that it is a place of physical torment and torture. Rather, most Christians have understood these descriptions to capture symbolically that hell is final and utter separation from God's saving grace. Some Christians, like C. S. Lewis, take hell to be a real place where sinful people make themselves miserable. Similarly, thinking of heaven as a place of hedonistic pleasures is wrongheaded as well. In fact, those who choose hell would not enjoy the pleasures of heaven since those pleasures essentially flow from a right relationship with God.

No you're going no have been. once you die you're lifeless, end of tale. God divides people into 3 communities 1Pe 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, the place shall the ungodly and the sinner look? There are the rightous who're Gods genuine and ordinary followers who would be saved. There are the ungodly who've rejected God and been disobedient and there are the sinners who're without sufieciet knowlage of. Christ is coming lower back to this earth Act 1v11, Luke 21v27 while he returns the lifeless would be ressurected yet basically the individuals who had adequate knowalge of him to have a foundation for judgment. no longer those without adequate knowlage. they are going to be judged the godly are given eternal life, the ungodly are rejected and donot recieve eternal life yet are left to die lower back. then jesus will return o the completed international and set up his kingdom. All countries would be judged. there will be 1000 12 months era of christ kingdom the place the saints would be coaching the countries (who're nevertheless mortal) human nature would be decrease than administration, there wont be something like strip golf equipment, ect. regardless of if on the top of the 1000 years restraint would be bumped off and individuals will desend into sin and rebellion. there will be a 2nd judgmnet with each and all of the lifeless from the a hundred years raised and judged, some will recieve life others will die. each and every physique will now be immortal and there will be not extra dying even although you assert you have faith in God, i think which you probally dont have adequate knowlage, there's a distinction between believing God exsists and following him, having faith. seek the scritpure, locate out God's fact.

No you will not if you ask god for forgiveness because we have all sinned and try to get into some counseling for your addiction!! You are the only one that can help yourself and it is so sad that so much money &time was wasted on this because we are a couple who would give anything to be able to have money to pay our bills and we live from paycheck to paycheck and are renting because we would never be able to buy anything on our income and that 200$ you spent at a club we could have bought FOOD with ,but God will forgive you for what you have done and i wish you all the luck in the world &when you pray to him could you throw in an extra prayer for LINDA&CE that things will get better for ALL of us who are 'struggling"!! Good Luck&God bless !! Sincerely ,LINDABUG!!!!!!

There are various techniques to train the mind recommended by spiritual masters. The best method is to divert the mind rather than con troll it.
Requires 1) a genuine desire to overcome the lust
2)Take refuge and interest in spiritual matters
Just as the pulls of the senses are natural,so is the call of the spirit. In fact
yr spiritual force is making u ask such questions.

Black Jack, have you ever heard of a thing called Repentance? First off I don't believe in Hell as other people believe in hell but, if you want to go to a better place when you die then you need to repent.
How you repent is to come to terms that what you are doing is wrong. Then confess the sin. And do the sin no more.
For you, you may need to seek professional help to stop what you are doing. You can stop, you just have to want to stop badly enough. Part of that is really feeling in your deepest heart that what you are doing is wrong. Pray to Heavenly Father (God) and if you are really sincere and willing to put in the work to stop, I believe that He will help you.

Don't worry about it! You're obviously having fun here on earth. So why worry about some imaginary firepit with a bouncer who wears a red body suit and carries a pitchfork?
hahaha
I don't care if my husband goes to a strip club, really! But if he spent $50,000 on it... that would be hell on earth for him!
hahaha again

Hell? Nope. But then again, I am not God... You are living a personal hell right now of your own creation. You lust after women because...hold on to your seat...you're male and you have a pulse. That said, there is a way out.

There is no after-life, just stop the big spending, and after that, as long as the strip club thing isn't hurting anyone who cares?

The only way out of any sin is to repent of it and ask Jesus to save you. He can wash away your sins and give you a new heart, one that desires to live a Godly, pure life.
I ask in Jesus name that He enable you to do this, today.
