HELL A REALITY !!!
HELL A REALITY !!!
since most people wont talk about it this i feel i should speak on it, now (what i believe) is what i percieve as the truth, this no attempt to pursuade or coerce anyone to my belief.
some people i've heard speak on this is hell never really said where they thought it was. but seeing diverse places of the world, im inclined to believe that hell is in the center of the earth.
we see volcanic eruptions, spewing liquid molten rock from mountains
which no man has ever been able to duplicate this kind of heat. hmmm
the bible talks of brimstone which broken down means burning rock.
no other depiction of heat has been classified in this category.
the bible also talks of Jesus ascending into the lower depths of the earth in ephesians chapter 4 verse 9
[But He ascended?] Now what can this, He ascended, mean but that He had previously descended from [the heights of] heaven into [the depths], the lower parts of the earth?
how low can that mean but to the center of the earth which is what?
nothing but fire!!!

i imagine hell is just more than brimestone and fire, they say hell is the opposite of heaven which would make sense.
I believe in hell there is a part were there is alot of lava and fire and souls roasting in there.
But i also think that there is a part of hell where it is nothing but darkness and in that darkness there is nothing but a bottamless pile of mutalated corpses and bodies (half alive in a sense) in agony moaning and groaning, from the slow suffering being inflicted on them by the demons that roam hell.

First off . . . I'm not too sure of there being a Hell after this life. I know many
times this life can be a living hell, but that don't compare to the torment
that is that hell depicted by many adherents of mainstream religion and dogmas.
That the place -hell- is a place of suffering and torment, is in constrast to
the everlasting happiness of heaven. But I doub't that the descriptions of
hell portrayed with fire, brimstone and evil demons torturing the damned
souls of prior humans is how the real hell spoken about in Holy Scripture
is to be understood or depicted as.
It is said that Death is the punishment for Sin, and death is termed as
separation from Life. In otherwords, if you ain't got life, you're dead. So
if you're dead, you're separated from the LIVING GOD. Therefore is the
sinner dies and goes to hell, he will find himself separated from GOD & life
and thus no longer has any existance.
Hell itself is associated with HADES, but hades was not a place of torment.
Hades was the place where the dead were layed to rest, hades was the
tomb, hades was the place for the dead, filled with darkness & nothingness.
The fire of hell can possibly best be understood under the concept of fire
as a purefeir. Fire can either burn and destroy, or it can purefy, such as
fire used to purefy metals, so too the symbol of fire can be understood as
a cleanser to get rid of sin, either through a purification process for the
soul, or as it's ultimate destroyer that will burn not only the body, but the
soul as well.
Think about, what would an, all knowing, and all loving and merciful creator GOD benefit, or seek to gain from ~~> by sending countless
upon countless millions of lost souls to an everlasting place of suffering?

Hell is the absence of Love
An eternity away from love
Heaven is Love and being with, being in, being love
Hell can be on earth
Heaven can be on earth.
In the Lords Prayer the line....thy Kingdom come.....means that to bring the Kigdom of God to earth we need struggle for justice - the Kingdom is a place of eqaulity, community, justice, love - and its for the earth.
Peeps wait for heaven and hell aftyer death. Its right here where heaven or hell truely exist.

Most Christian ideas of Hell come from John Milton's Paradise Lost (fire and brimstone and sulfur) and Dante's Inferno (the nine levels of Hell).
Both of these authors took small verses from the Bible and expanded on them, and most people don't even realize that what they think comes from the Bible comes from these works of fiction.
But, I personally think that if you are going to look at the concept of Hell, you need to look at other religions as well. Christianity is not the only belief system with a Hell, whether it's a place for the dead to rest or a place of torment. Lonewolf mentioned Hades, but Norse mythology also had a Hel who was ruled by Hel.
At the very least, look at the references in literature where most modern day ideas come from. SparkNotes is pretty good with summaries. www.web.eku.edu has a good flash animation of Dante's Inferno.

A GAUNTLET CALLED "LIFE" . . .
AND FOR THOSE THAT ENDURE . . .
