What the Hell?
What is hell like? Is there fire in hell? I’m not sure if there is fire in hell.
People often ask why nice and good people go to hell. God must be cruel. What if you don’t get the opportunity to hear about God?
A lot of people don’t like the “Christian religion” because they hate the idea that whoever doesn’t believe in what Christians believe in will go to hell. I kinda understand them. It’s like saying: “Believe in what we believe in or else you will go to hell!” (muhaha) I am afraid that a lot of them don’t understand why we would make that claim.
The following, I think, is the claim that non-Christians are disgusted to hear: People who reject God go to hell; People who reject Jesus as their LORD and master go to hell; People who reject Jesus as their Saviour go to hell.
I’m not sure that hell is really a punishment. It’s more like a consequence.
On the day we die, either we will have made up our mind to submit to Jesus as the rightful ruler of our life or we have decided to ignore and reject Him (we will not talk about those who have not heard of God here). This decision clearly reflects what our hearts desire, and so, when we die God gives us exactly what we desire.
For those that choose to submit to Jesus, God allows them to stay with him for eternality. On the other hand, for those who desire to have God out of their lives, God grants them their desire and God abandons them forever.
“What is so bad about a place without God?” you may ask. The answer is this. God is the source of all Love and Everything that is Good. A world without God is a world without all Love and Goodness.
Back to all the fire now. There must be a lot of wood or gas or something in hell (probably not…). Hell is described as a fiery furnace. It is also described as a dark place. We then know that hell is not a comfortable place. Imagine in a place where you can’t see anything because it’s so dark. Or inside an oven. There sure is going to be “weeping and gnashing of teeth”. That’s what it’s like to be in a place without all Love and Goodness. A place that God has left.
Does what I say help? Or is it leading people astray…
maybe hell isnt so bad after all.. if God is kind and has sympathy, he wouldnt want to torture people so...
then hell would not be as nice as heaven, but perhaps bearable... maybe its like life now but you only get holidays like once every 10 years -.-"""
