Ever been married? That is real torture.
Exactly...Fire and Brimstone...Brimstone is sulphur...Sulphur burns with no flame...
There comes a point where additional hotness is kind of beside the point, don't you think? I mean, how much more pain can there be once you've gotten hotter than the sun? Kind of like trying to light a candle that's already lit.
I'll let you know when I get there, since I do not believe in the resurrection, although I am profoundly grateful that our nation was founded by people who mostly did.
I do believe in God though, but I obviously cannot claim to be a Christian.
Pray for this well-meaning but imperfect sinner anyway, if you find a spare moment. Thanks.
In all seriousness, would you condemn your own child (if you are a parent) to such eternal torture, for disrespecting you or dishonoring you? What you describe would be expected to have come from the brain of a violence fetishist, a sadist. It's totally gratuitous. I will never grasp why people view someone as being worth worshiping who chooses something like that (especially such asymmetrical punishment-- like sawing a person's head off for merely being an infidel) when literally every punishment option is at his disposal.
What I don't get is how hell is so monotonously painful, having only one thing to offer, that being discomfort as a result of searing heat. And of course, heaven is a placeof comfort and relaxation, and there is milk and honey and all those that went before us will be there to greet us, unless they went to hell. Now, if you are a sinner, you go to hell. Unless you are forgiven, that is. In which case you get to go to heaven. The trick is to make sure you get forgiven before you die. And how do you get forgiven? Why, you go to confession and accept Jesus as your lord and savior, and voila! You get to go to heaven. But when Jesus said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone," nobody was able to cast a stone, so right there things were looking pretty bad for people.
Not that you can't get forgiven and stuff, just that it's too pat an answer. This is midieval mythology, designed to scare people into acting against their baser instincts, and it worked some. There was a lot less general knowledge back then, being as how the world was flat and all. A lot of people got burned at the stake then too, as if the concept of hell wasn't quite scary enough for people.
"Hell is hotter than the Sun. It is a place of darkness and where the worm never dies. If using the physical limitation of the world, the fire is so hot that you cannot see the flame. There are some fire that does not have any visible flame such as fire with alcohol as a fuel. Regardless of the eternal address, you will have body either in Heaven or in Hell. The body in Hell will experience severe pain, something beyond what is known in the world. The pain will be in every cubic inch of your Hell body."
Hmmm, and you know all these details exactly how?
Have you read "23 Minutes in Hell?" It WILL scare the hell right out of you. I wish more priests and pastors would talk about it in their pulpits.
