Is HELL really supposed to be hot or is that an exageration? I mean are those in HELL on fire right now and if so will they always be on fire?

Hi, Jon:
There is no one in Hell right now, unless it is Hell, Michigan.
But the Hell we're talking about is reserved for the Devil and His angels. Its temperature exceeds that of crematoriums, which burn corpses at 2,000 degrees.
You see, the Hell preachers teach comes from Greek Mythology and was baptized into the early church.
But it is much hotter. Let me give you a text, and you will see that it burns even the Devil to ashes. It's found in Ezekiel 28:18...:
"I will bring forth a fire from the midst of thee [Internal Combustion], it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
28:19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never [shalt] thou [be] any more.
There it is, the wages of sin is death, and death is an eternal punishment, not an eternal punishing--there is a difference, you know.
More on this in the Bible code that reveals God's plan to save this lost galaxy. see www.abiblecode.com
Shalom, peace in Jesus, Ben Yeshua

Read Luke 16:20-30
And you will understand that Hell is the waiting place of solitary confinement before the Great White Throne judgment, which is the final judgment hearing for all non-believers in front of Jesus Christ and Almighty God, where all their lives are retold and prove them guilty, and they are cast into the Lake of Fire, which is eternal and perpetual flames and torment. Hell IS hot, their is no water or a cool breeze to ease the torture of the flames. Which is worse, is as with the rich man, he could look up and see ACROSS the unbreachable chasm gap separating them, and see Lazarus in Heaven.
Yes, those in Hell are in solitary confinement, which is on the edges of The Lake Of Fire their eternal destination. As horrible as Hell is, it is nothing compared to the Lake Of Fire, where they will spend eternity. And yes, they will always be on fire, but despite the ferocity of the flames, they will be burned, but never die. They will live in the flames for eternity.

I don't know. Fire in the Bible is always a symbol of judgment for several reasons, and so it is often associated with hell. However whether or not there is literal fire or not is debatable. Hell is not in existence yet, or if it is it is not in use yet because there has not been a judgment yet, and no one will be sent there until after the Great White Throne judgment.

Toment for the body is like the flesh is on fire, it hurts that bad and it will last forever. Someone that went to hell after dying and came back to say that some people were constantly eating themselves and the flesh would grow back and they would tear their flesh and eat again. I had a dream about hell and saw a girl that was just bone, but I could also see the torment in and on her.

HELL:
This word is the translation of the Hebrew " Sheol," which
means the underworld, the place of the dead, but not the abode of lost souls or a place of punishment; and of the Greek " Hades," "Gehenna," the former of which sometimes
and latter means a place of punishment. In 2 Peter 2:4,
" hell " is the rendering of still another Greek word,
signifying a place of punishment.

If there is a hell, and there probably isn't, I would think it is more a "what is hell for you" situation. You're afraid of spiders, you are surrounded by spiders, afraid of water you are in a boat, that sort of thing. The fire reference is something that everyone can relate to, nobody want s to get burned, but not everyone is afraid of the same thing. Just don't be a jerk and you shouldn't have to worry about it, but like I said there probably isn't a hell.

I personally dont think hell, because your god would probably never want any thing he created to suffer so much, even the bad guys,
I think the "fire" thing is an exageration.
When you get burned, it hurts right? Well, they probably thought of what hurt them most, and made a whole place about it and now fear it

Hell will be extremely hot. Those who will be thrown in hell will be burned compeltely in seconds. But Angels will taking them out, renew their skin and throw them again so they feel the pain of punishment for denying the existence of God and committing sins against the commands of God and using filthy words against His most beloved Prophet Mohammad.
