[[Will they be worrying?

Or will they be so filled with terror at their fate that no other thought can surface?]]

No- there’ll be seething burning hatred of God and of those who follow Him- much more intense than what they now feel- all the emotions you mention will be magnified many fold.

Some people (myself included) who have had NDE’s but didn’t go to heaven but hell instead explain a little of the horror that will be hell, and the nearly indescribable pain and suffering they experienced- whether these people actually experienced hell first hand, or whether Satan was allowed to try to shake hteir faith by giving them aweful thoughts while close to death, or whether God allowed the person to experience Hell in thought for some reason, we will never know, but one hting is for certain- Hell will be no party place. When I experienced my NDE, I went through a range of emotions and experinced pain, suffocation, fear, darkness, heat, feeling like I was being consumed but not consumed- unable to escape- but again, whether real experience of Hell, or just a picture of hell from either God or Satan for whatever purposes, I’m not sure- but it was an experience that shook me quite badly for a very long time- Even now when I get real sick, these thoughts surface- Being close ot death has a way of doing that to a person. Anyways- I beleive people will experience a full range of intensly painful, sad, angry emotions that consume their thoughts- the gnashing of teeth described in the bible is said to be an effort to dull the pain and excruciating emotions.

Hell will be no party place.

I have a liberal family member who always says she would rather go to hell because "that's where all the cool people will be". Sad.

I'm very interested to understand how it is that you can see a deity who would inflict "nearly indescribable pain and suffering ... pain, suffocation, fear, darkness, heat, feeling like I was being consumed but not consumed- unable to escape- ... [and] intensly painful, sad, angry emotions that consume their thoughts- the gnashing of teeth described in the bible" as someone you would desire to worship and love. Honestly, I am not trying to cause trouble or be a smartass, but I really don't understand this way of thinking and would love to get a better perspective on why people feel this way. Would you mind elaborating?

Best,
Etixos
