Is Hell Real ? Consider the Following...

Hell is real. Hell is not real. Everyone has something to say. Who is right? Well, it impossible to know for sure. Where do we start?

Lets put the idea of Hell to the test.

Is the idea of a literal Hell - a horrific destination for unbelievers - consistent with the concept of a Just and Loving God?

To those who think that a literal Hell makes sense - I hope you will gain a perspective that will help you realize that Hell is pointless and thus represents a fictional idea. In either case, I welcome your input.

Some points of my argument are:

1. A minor side point: Adam ate the "apple" (fruit of knowledge) not knowing YET good and evil. He was so dumb he didn't even know
he was naked. He was no more responsible for his choice than a child that tragically plays with a shiny blade or a live hand grenade.
Whatever consequences of his action are, be it the tough living outside of paradise or knowledge of good and evil propagating to his children - punishment by Hell (plus the one that afflicts by default his descendants ) is disproportionate.

2. Setup for the main point: The world is not divided into "A" (Believers) and "B" (Non-believers) - those who accept and those who reject. There is a HUGE other category that is often ignored. Call it "C" - those who never heard about Jesus, Adam, Hell, etc. They never had the option to believe. They are people too. And they make up most of the population that ever lived on Earth.
They are just as capable of belief as those who heard the message - otherwise why are the descendants of Mayans, now living in Mexico so heavily Christian? They were pagans before they knew about gospels. Now that they have heard - they are pagans no longer.

3. Main point - how do the people in the "C" category (ignorant about the idea Christianity) avoid Hell? There has got to be an answer to this sort of question.

If they are presented with a vision of him upon death, they have far more advantage than those who are asked to believe purely based on what they read and heard. Seeing is believing.

The past and present existence of such people, in my opinion, is the key to understanding the non-reality of Hell.

If God is Just and Loving, then Hell makes no sense. Hell is imaginary.

If you think that Hell exists, then God is simply Wrathful and Frightening. In that case, why call him Just and Loving?

Just read;

Hebrews 12:29 (Whole Chapter)

For our God is a consuming fire.[not only love]

also see

Revelation 20:10 (Whole Chapter)

And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

THE BIBLE SAY HELL IS REAL AND IT IS FOR EVER AND EVER, ACEPT JESUS NOW AND BE SAVE.

I know it seems that way, it is is scary to think that it might be, or that denying its existence is somehow a ticket there. But Hell is the fear of Hell, it is the darkness that envelops our lives while we are on the wrong course in Life. Learn to do good for Goodness sake, and we see Heaven. Keep our childish selfish ways, and we plunge into Hell. The Bible is not meant to be read literally. Hence, "let those who have ears, hear". There is no bargain, only Life.

Take care, dude!

How can you ask so many questions and then draw a conclusion without the answers. Everone is born to go to hell. Its your final home. There is nothing you can do about it. Its the nature of the human condition. Its just a fact. However if you want to escape that end there is one who loves you and overs you an out. Dont worry about the justice just get youself out of that horrific end result. You ware sweat shop clothes or buy bloodied oil and you care so much about justice. Escape hell.

the way for sons of Man is to go from selfish to selfless. Selfish and suffering is portrayed by Hell. Selfless and peaceful is portrayed by Heaven. This world is both. Salvation comes not from following doctrines or preachers, but becoming more selfless and aligning with the Goodness that permeates the fabric of the Universe. JC taught to let go of weaknesses and childishness, to see the Kingdom that is in all of us and all things. Heaven is HERE. NOW.

Hate to burst anyone’s little bubble, there is no heaven or hell… Get over yourself people!

@TurboInfidel

I think that the whole heaven/hell thing is an allegory for our perception of life - it isn't about rewards and punishment through acceptance of certain dogmas. Its about finding happiness through selflessness and doing what is right vs. finding hopelessness through selfishness. Those who take scriptures literally are missing the point. Don't hate the system of those who don't get it or abuse good fiction - ignore it. There will always be "systems". Hate leads to the dark side.

Type in David Asscherick, learn the truth about hell, hell is after the second coming of Christ, after he redeems his children, his presence at that coming destroys the living wicked because of his gorgeous beauty, then after a thousand years of going over the books in heaven 2 see y all the wicked didn't make it, they're raised from the dead with one last chance 2 repent instead they try 2 attack the holy city but fire comes down from heaven and burns them (up), that right there is hell fire!

@MercuryRis More than that, can you really enjoy your time on earth knowing your loved ones are in hell?

The word of God is truth!

(Jude 1:7) Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

 (Mark 3:29) But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

(Matthew 25:46 )And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

hell comes from the word " gahenna" gahenna comes from " the valley of Henam" the valley of henam means "dumpster" the valley of Henam was the dumping place where trash was burned and stuff back in Jesus time. Hell was created by the Catholics along time ago to force people to be scared and convert.
