Christians, what comes to mind if someone asks you about hell?

Answer 1

if heaven is returning to God, then hell is the complete and utter absence of God and all that He is.

no hope, no love, no joy.

Answer 2

Sorrow for the lost. People sometimes think that Christians enjoy the idea of hell. While that may be true for some, it is not true for most. I do not enjoy the thought of ANYONE facing eternal separation from God, it hurts in the depths of my soul. So, sorrow for the lost is what comes to mind when I hear about hell.

Answer 3

I've been in hell. My living hell. It was only by the Grace of God that I have my life back and I give Him all Glory and Honor for what he has accomplished in MY life.
I understand that hell is a place where God is not. I will live out my life walking with God so I will not end up in this place called hell when I pass on. I believe God's Word in the Bible for He's never let me down.
I will not go back.

Answer 4

Hi there let me try...

1. No frienships
2. Absence of the Holy Spirit
3. Worms that will never die
4. Fire that will never die
5. All the murderers, rapist and so forh will be there (those who has not repented and accept Jesus in their lives)
Hell is a pit of darkness for those who reject Jesus Christ and His gospel. “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him” (Jn. 3:36). Those who try to enter heaven on the basis of their own works-righteousness, rather than Christ’s perfect righteousness, will go to hell (Mt. 22:11-14).

What kind of prison is hell? Hell is called the “bottomless pit” (literally in Greek, “the pit of the abyss”). “And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace” (Rev. 9:2). Hell is a “pit of darkness.” The picture of hell that the Bible presents is not a clean, modern prison but rather a dark, subterranean dungeon. The word translated pit in the language of the New Testament [phrear] was also used to describe a well or cistern. The Bible presents hell as an immeasurably deep pit, very large on the bottom and possibly narrow at the top like a cistern. The book of Jude indicates that, at least for fallen angels, there may be individual holding pits in hell for isolation (v. 6). The prophet Isaiah reveals that the pit of hell may have side compartments: “Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit” (Isa. 14:15 KJV).

The designation “bottomless pit” may be more than just an indication of hell’s immense size, it may also point to the utter despair of those who are trapped in it. Who can escape that which is bottomless? Imagine the total despair the sinner will experience who is separated from God and His saints forever. Imagine the dread of sinking unendingly into the outer darkness. Oh what despair—without hope, going down, down into the darkness, forever!

Take care

Answer 5

QUESTION: what comes to mind if someone asks you about hell?

Answer 6

The condition of the dead.
Some liken it to the grave.

The Bible teaches, those in Hell/Sheol await a resurrection.
The righteous and the unrighteos.
The righteous to salvation.
The unrighteous to a second chance.

It's those that end up in the 'second fire', that have no chance at all.

Answer 7

What comes to mind is how the vast majority of people (especially those who call themselves "Christian") have absolutely no idea of the biblical concept of hell.

Answer 8

I think of hell as a state in which people have chosen to separate themselves from the love of God.
