What are your views on hell?

Question

I want to know what you think about hell? Please give Biblical references if possible.

Answer 1

Unlike the beliefs of popular Christianity, I believe that Hell does not currently exist, but it will at the end of the Millennium (1000 years after Christ returns). This belief comes from several scriptural references. It will not burn forever, nor will people be tortured forever in it. It will be an "unquenchable fire", which means that it cannot be PUT out, but it will burn out on its own. The lost who are thrown in there will be immediately consumed, never to exist again. The Devil will not be "in charge" of Hell, but he will be burning in it, too, and will perish along with everyone else. Sodom and Gomorrah were also described as being burned with an "unquenchable fire". Are S&G still burning today? Of course not. It just means that the fire cannot be PUT out, but will eventually burn out.
Matthew 3:12
Luke 3:17
Jude 1:7
Revelation 20:1-3, 6,7, 10
Malachi 4:1,3
You may also see in Scripture references to "forever and ever" in reference to Hell, but keep in mind that this phrase often means "as long as a person lives" in the Bible. Here are some examples:
Exodus 21:6
Genesis 44:32
Leviticus 25:46
Deuteronomy 15:17
1 Samuel 1:22

Answer 2

If You get a very poor excuse for a mother -in
What am I saying !

Hell... yes er right

It would depend on which tradition You are looking at
In the Christian Tradition
There is this awful place you can go to for ever it would seem for making the simplest of mistakes in the life

Buddhist believe it a little different
There are negative states of mind Anger Rage etc
We believe when a person manifests this kind of mind for that time they are reborn in a Hell Realm
This is easy to see look very close at a person in that state Look very closely at the face
Many times they are unrecognizable from the person that You know or even love

We also believe in the Hell Realms as a physical place unlike many other traditions we believe there is remission

At the end of the day If a person does their best to lead something like a descent life Learn from the mistakes that we all make from time to time [If a person never makes a mistake then they will never learn anything worthwhile] there is nothing to concern ourselves with
I'm sorry I don't understand the Bible enough to be able to quote as you ask but May this Help You

Answer 3

I know that it's hot...and completely without God.

Therefore, it's a place I don't want to be.

Matt: 5:22, 5:29-30, 7:13, 10:28, 18:9, 23:15
Mark 9:43, 9:45, 9:47-48
Luke 12:5
2 Thes. 2:3
James 3:6
2 Peter 2:4

Answer 4

First of all, many people think that in Hell, people will be tortured forever. I believe that the Bible actually says that people will die in Hell. It's like a death sentence.

"And they will go out and look upon the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; their worm will not die, nor will their fire be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind." -Isaiah 66:24

Also notice how in the New Testament, the opposite of eternal life in heaven is called death, not eternal torment in hell.

"Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire. " -- Revelation 20:14-15

Answer 5

read the story of lazarus and the rich man in the gospel of Luke. Jesus gives you a glimpse of Hell. I believe it is a literal place, prepared for the devil and his angels, but you can go there if you wish... all you have to do is reject the love shown to you when the lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world was nailed to a tree on our behalf.

Answer 6

Hell was created for the Devil and his angels. Weeping and gnashing of teeth. The worm never dies. I am tormented in this flame forever. Lake of fire forever. Their torment rises forever and ever. Outer darkness forever. The fire that will never go out forever. No presence of God forever. All grace gone forever. All taken for granted benefits gone forever. Separation forever. No love forever. No light forever. No letup forever. No mercy forever. No end forever. Even these words do not prepare us for the shear horror of hell. Even if a man came from hell to warn us, he would not be believed. Abraham told the rich man in hell that no one on earth would believe it even if one came from hell to warn them. He said, they have the scriptures.

Answer 8

hell is real, and a place prepared where the fire is never quenched and the worm never dies- in total darkness-

Revelation 20

Answer 9

The word “hell” is found in many Bible translations. In the same verses other translations read “the grave,” “the world of the dead,” and so forth. Other Bibles simply transliterate the original-language words that are sometimes rendered “hell”; that is, they express them with the letters of our alphabet but leave the words untranslated. What are those words? The Hebrew she’ohl′ and its Greek equivalent hai′des, which refer, not to an individual burial place, but to the common grave of dead mankind; also the Greek ge′en·na, which is used as a symbol of eternal destruction.

Does the Bible indicate whether the dead experience pain?

Eccl. 9:5, 10: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all . . . All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol,* the place to which you are going.” (If they are conscious of nothing, they obviously feel no pain.) (*“Sheol,” AS, RS, NE, JB; “the grave,” KJ, Kx; “hell,” Dy; “the world of the dead,” TEV.)

Ps. 146:4: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts* do perish.” (*“Thoughts,” KJ, 145:4 in Dy; “schemes,” JB; “plans,” RS, TEV.)

Does the Bible indicate that the soul survives the death of the body?

Ezek. 18:4: “The soul* that is sinning—it itself will die.” (*“Soul,” KJ, Dy, RS, NE, Kx; “the man,” JB; “the person,” TEV.)

“The concept of ‘soul,’ meaning a purely spiritual, immaterial reality, separate from the ‘body,’ . . . does not exist in the Bible.”

Answer 10

The experience a wicked person has when faced with God's presence. God is Love, and His nature cannot change. The wicked perceive as torment what the righteous perceive as bliss.
