Wow—this is a timely post for me. I was reading the book ‘23 minutes in Hell’ by Bill Wiese today. He had a near death experience and taken to hell and back via Jesus.
The descriptions of hell are awful and lost people don’t realize what a terrible destiny it is. Also I have been viewing the topic on You Tube with many others describing the NDE of going to hell. There’s so many descriptions that of it that are common among those who experienced it. Thank Jesus for His salvation to stay away from that awful destiny. Scared me to the core reading all of this.

Yes, Hell is a most awful destiny and a person's decision during THIS life will result in their final outcome in the spirit world: either Hell or Heaven. There is no second choice after we are removed from our earthly bodies die.

But we have a perfect guarantee of life eternal by Christ Jesus as found in the Gospel of our salvation:

I Corinthians 15:3: For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

I Corinthians 15:4: And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures

This Bible quote is the Gospel for today, as it outlines the full cross work that Christ died, was buried, and rose again.

Fire and brimstone. Jesus did mention Gesthemane, the burning, sticking garbage dump in Jerusalem. He might have been speaking to Jews about what they knew.

Some of the latest Jesuit thinking, which is allowed, (You know those Jesuits.) is that hell is the total and absolute absence of God. Hell would be a soul who would be alone, totally and absolutely alone, for eternity.
For my way of thinking, THAT would be the ultimate SCARY hell.

Beware of these kinds of extra-biblical books and stories.

Paul went to heaven and saw many things, none of which he was permitted to talk about (2 Corinthians 12:4).

The Apostle John went to heaven and gave an inerrant report of things and conditions there (Revelation 4:1).

Lazarus was dead 4 days and never said one word about what he experienced during that time (John 11:39).

Ignore all of these unverified experiences. Stick closely to the Bible. "Examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good" (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
