Why is hell going to be so bad?

   Thinkaboutit77posted 15 years ago

   For the same reason heaven is going to be so good.
   
   You see hell is going to be soo bad for unbelievers not becasue they'll be on fire for ever, but because hell has no windows, no doors, therefore no escape. But what makes is even worse is that it will be a place devoid of relationships and since we are relational creatures, being alone forever is like being in a hot dry desert with no water but only forever and not being allowed to die.
   
   When people simply reject Jesus, the Bible and dismiss the existence of hell they are taking a very big risk from which if they're wrong there is NO recovery.
   
   If you're not a true born again Christian, are you REALLY willing to take the risk that you're right? But what if you are wrong? Eternity is a LONG time to regret.

         good for you sandra,these heavy thinkers miss the point that word definitions evolve over time.it dose no good to read the original languages if you use todays definitions and context,also,translation always looses and distorts some of the message.i have read(with the help of refrence books and educated freinds)the bible in greek,aramaic,and hebrew.even in my limited understanding the message and application is significantly different.for instance,did you know that originaly adultry was a property law and only applied to married women.men could shag anyone they wanted to as long as she was'nt married cause that did'nt devalue another mans property...peace...

   Yes, Thinkaboutit, you make a very good point.
   
   The Jehovah's Witnesses also make this point, and they say that your conception of Hell is what will keep your from the glorious afterlife that would otherwise be your destiny.
   
   I think you are taking a terrible risk, believing in a Hell that has little theological support, and is primarily based on the words of men from the past 1500 years or so.

      Words of men? Jesus spoke more on Hell than He did on Heaven. Why? Because it's a real literal place of which He wants nobody go to. Jesus spoke of a real person named Lazarus and man referred to as the "rich man" in Luke 16:23-25 who was in conscience torment in the flame. That's why God wants all people to repent of their sins, believe that God was in Jesus dying on the cross to make reconciliation possible.
      
      Hell is going to be SO bad for people who go there because it was NEVER made for humans. Jesus said hell was originally made for the devil and his angels (Matt 25:41) not for mankind. He made hell awful for the devil but since people choose to follow the devil and reject God's simple plan of salvation then they'll have to go where the devil is going for all eternity.
      
      1st John 5:13 - what peace knowing people can have eternal life and a home in heaven already, now and forever!
      
      Words of men? It is the JWs, Mormons, Catholics and other cults that insist that people need their books (written by men by the way) to assist them with the Word of God (as if God's Word isn't sufficient). That is like having someone light a match and say "with my match, I'm going to help the sun light the world". That's ridiculous and foolish but people do foolish things when blinded by the devil.
      
      But again, today I have eternal life, and I've never more peace and joy in my heart. Thank you Lord!

         It's hard to respond to something like this without cracking on the Thinkaboutit's name. Being new here, I've read the forum rules and know I'm not supposed to say that the last thing this post exhibits is thought or the ability to form coherent, independent ideas. So I won't say anything about Thinkaboutit's name. I'll stick to the ... um ... content ...?
         
         Your 1st John 5:13 may be the worst rendering of a Bible verse I've ever read. Growing up in the confines of a Southern Baptist family, I've read my share (and a few other people's) of the good book, and I have to say, you don't come close to doing the verse justice. But that's ok, because it happens to be completely irrelevant to the thread.
         
         And why are you picking on people with matches? I thought Jesus wanted us to let our little lights shine.
         
         Anyway, The often differing views expressed by the New Testament's writers (not Jesus, but people who wrote about Jesus 100 - 250 years after he died) express Hell, in my lowly opinion, in a purely metaphorical sense. The writers know as much of Hell as any other person, i.e. nothing more than the metaphors that preceeded their own, which isn't all that convincing as proof of existence.
         
         True, I'm of the opinon Hell is the BIG SCARE created long ago to keep people in line, but still, that doesn't change the fact that biblical accounts of Hell seem purely metaphorical. It doesn't help modern Christianity's case for Hell, Satan and the Fallen that they depend as much on Milton as they do the Bible.

         Your non spiritual twaddle is getting more ridiculous.  You have no scripture to back it up because there is none.  I think I've already told you that hell and eternal are incorrect translations of men.  You don't know what the Lake of Fire is spiritually, and your beliefs are an abomination to everything decent.  The perfection of God and true scripture is totally opposed to the blind and evil teachings of the hell fire of churchianity.  You're building your spiritual house on sand.  Only Christ can show you the beast (which is you) rising up out of the sea.

   Found myself in Los Angeles a long time ago. Everyone warned me, 'don't cross walk against the light or you'll get a ticket'. So there I am in the middle of nowhere, waiting at a cross walk for the walk light. Not a car or person sight for as far as the eye could see. I felt like an idiot, standing there letting a machine tell me what to do, even though obviously it was quite safe to walk. Similarly this is why it is useless to argue with people who use relgious texts to tell them how to think. You can't argue with a walk light.

                        I think I see your point, and I think it is not a valid point. Everybody *can* do this, it is just a question of will.
                        
                        Once upon a time there was a fictitious writer in Russia, Kozma Prutkov. In reality it was a pen name for a joint venture of three writers. They published several books under this pen name, one being a seemingly humorous collection of selected aphorisms. Most of them are pretty serious though, if you give them a serious thought. Go take a look if you like http://www.geocities.com/uniart/mix/kp.htm , and please pay special attention to #80 - it is probably the best ever recipe for a happy life

                           Misha- That is a great link and the quote #80 ("If you want to be happy, be!") certainly rings a bell.
                           
                           I guess even Sandra was addressing in similar lines. And I certainly agree with John Milton from Paradise Lost "The mind is its own place, and in itself. Can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven."  Where happiness seems to be a particular state of mind.
                           
                           But personally I see that material things/desires(when fulfilled) don't bring happiness but they do bring comfort to a certain extent at the same time there are also certain people (those rare great souls)who don't need any material things/desires but always exist in state of peace (which is similar to a happy state). But personally I am far too ordinary soul hence I need AC in a car (like when it was hot today) and need so many other things which  certainly don't make me happy but only helps to keep me comfortable for a while. I guess I have lot to learn from enlightened souls like Misha, Sandra and Mohit

   The question is why is hell going to be so bad, not if we believe in it's existance.  One would think that if you are responding to the question there are strong feelings either way.  So I will post my comment toward the question asked.
   
   Hell is complete isolation from God, it is devastation of spirit, mind and body.  It is my fundamental belief (per what is taught in the Bible), that we will all have eternal bodies, just as I believe we will all have an after life. Whether that afterlife is in heaven or in hell is up to us.  For believers in the Way of Jesus Christ, hell is not a symbol, it is a real not mythical and abiding place of absolute torment. 
   
   Some Biblical passages for you to ponder, or argue with.
   
   Matthew 5
   Mark 9
   
   Luke 16: 19-31 is perhaps the most eloquent discussion in the bible about hell.  I have included it here in it's entirety. 
   
   19"There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
   22"The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23In hell,[c] where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'
   
   25"But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'
   
   27"He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, 28for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'
   
   29"Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.'
   
   30" 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'
   
   31"He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' "
   
   
   
   By all means question the validity, seek the truth, my father whom I loved dearly was an atheist.  It was from him I learned the true importance of Apologetics.  Hell will not be a happy place.  However it is not only the only place reserved for sinners.  Heaven is too. For other believers don't try to engage in an argument of faith!  You can't win all you'll do is more harm if you argue, I have seen the words of others refering to pretentiousness and foolishness.  Hmm.   
   
   Question. Challenge. Provoke.   
   
   Christians are called by the second covenant to be fishers of men. We catch 'em HE cleans 'em, and salvation is not up to us, neither is judgement.   We can not save others from Hell, Sheol, Gehenna, or Hinnom and we can not sentence others there either.  That is up to Christ and it is from Him and from his sacrafice on the Cross that we will be sperated from in Hell.  Tormented as the rich man was with our choice and burdened forever with the weight of our sin.

    Why's hell bad?
    
    Because some translator decided that Sheol, the Hebrew word translated as hell, meant what we think it means today ie. pit of fire and all that happy crap. Nor does Gehenna, which is the other word, mean what you think it means.
    
    Therefore, why is hell bad? Because some random person decided it was that way. Is there reason to believe him? Not really. Can't even claim it was God making that assertion.

       Hell is a myth created by the church to make sure the masses were dissempowered.  In effect creating this illusory place was the Church's way of making sex understood as a bad thing. This backfired somewhat when members of their own team became sexually frustrated and committed sin against the innocent.

             Which is why the Church is the perfect playground for Luciferic forces.  The amazing thing to understand is that the forces of 'dark' are extremely intelligent and to teach through the Church's authority, as has been the case, is a stroke of genius and is the perfect guise.
             
             One of the best moves Angel Lucifer made was to teach people that the way to God is through something else and not through themselves.  Genius, stroke of genius.
