I don't know how true this is or if it even represents the teaching of the Jewish faith... But here goes... when I was about 10 years old my best friends grandfather moved in with him family and one day my friend and I were talking about God (after playing a dungeon and dragons type game), his grandfather overheard us and came into the room. He asked me first if I beleived in God, I replyied yes Sir, the he asked me what church I go to ? I reply St. Thomas Roman Catholic church...Freinds grandfather "Fine church my , they do good works and serve everyone well " the he asks me if I believe in Heavean and Hell..I reply yes... He then asks me to explain hell. I reply "its a place where ones soul goes to suffer and to be tortured". He then tells me "young man you do not understand, god will never torture your soul or cause suffer to it, he loves you. Then he explained what hell was according to the Jewish faith from his words... God is everything you ever wanted or ever craved, a piece of candy, the new toy, fast car ect... God is everything you ever marveled at the sunrise or sunset the piece of candy, the new toy, your children. God is everything you wanted to know or see. God is in everything. To go to hell is not to suffer in a distant place devoid of god but to suffer from not being so close to him. Gods like a camp fire if your not close to it you'll never feel its warmth.
Sounds like the seed of liberal theology. Scripture tells us that those who go to hell (lake of fire), that the smoke of their torment will last forever. Liberals hate the concept of judgment.
