Kolo, the Orthodox view of the "fire" is that of the Spirit, not the fire that burns you to death but one that fires you up to life in which those, who are in the image of Christ shine like gold does in furnace, while those who are clay and godless darken and harden. Remember, Orthodoxy is about compassion and mercy, about Life; hell is something we choose, and hellfire is a different fire from the fire of the Holy Spirit, the Life-giver.

Kosta, I'm surprised at you! Read Kalomiros! The fire is the same, God's love. The effect is quite dramatically different.
