We only have this life to determine our eternal address - Heaven or Hell. I trust in the Blood of the Lamb (Christ).

Ms. Griffin will be for a real nasty "treat" if she doesn't repent !

I'm sorry, but anytime one of these "I spent time in hell" books comes out, one has to be skeptical and discerning. And despite how much scripture he attributes to his visit in this article, he left one key verse out -

Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.

Nothing in scripture indicates that the damned will be tortured by demons; rather, hell was created for their punishment. Contrary to that, in the article he says

Instinctively, I just knew that some of the things I experienced were a thousand times worse than what would be possible on the earth's surface—things such as the odors mentioned, the strength of the demons, the loudness of the screams, the dryness, and the loneliness felt.

Just wrong. Hell is NOT the home of demons; they're terrified of it -

Luke 8:30 And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him. 31 And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.

To suggest that men will be tormented by such creatures, that demons will be instruments of punishment rather than sufferers in it, is simply not biblical.

I think Bill needs to lay off having pizza before bedtime.

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord - either in his presence or under his judgement. No one gets a ‘glimpse’ of hell, just as no one gets a peek at heaven, until they are dead and facing the judgment seat of God.

God’s will, revealed in his Word, shows us enough of hell.
