Whats The Use Of Burning In Hell For Eternity ?

Do you know that the very popular belief that burning in hell for eternity might not be so?
Do you know that (yes there is the Lake of Fire) this hell which is well known might not be what everybody thinks it is?
Do you know that the stuff said in Revelations are very symbolic stuff and not literal stuff?

Hell is not as everybody is making it out to be.
True it is a place/period/realm of torment but it is for a time and for a reason.

Why are you unecessarily troubled about a place you believe doesn't exist?

This is talking about the Judgment of the wicked dead.  It should be grievous for any Christian to make light of or joke about this.  These verses should make every true Christian weep and cry to God on behalf of the unsaved and, then motivate us plead with sinners to turn to the Saviour.


This is talking about the Judgment of believer's works which I believe is at the Bema Seat of Christ.

1 Corinthians 3:15, says: "If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames." The passage (1 Corinthians 3:12-15) is using an illustration of things going through fire as a description of believers’ works being judged.  If our works are of good quality "gold, silver, costly or precious stones," they will pass through the fire unharmed, and we will be rewarded for them.  If our works are of poor quality "wood, hay, and straw," they will be consumed by the fire, and there will be no reward.  The passage does not say that believers pass through the fire, but rather that a believer’s works pass through the fire.  1 Corinthians 3:15 refers to the believer "escaping through the flames," not "being cleansed by the flames" unless you believe in the doctrine of purgatory.

Remember, this is the judgment of believers' works:
1.  Subjects:  Believers (Galatians 6:8; Eph.6:8; Col.3:24; 2Cor.5:10)
2.  Time:  Between the rapture and the second advent (Lk.14:14)
3.  Place:  In heaven (1 Cor.9:24-27; Rom.14:10; 2Cor.5:10)
4.  Basis:  Works, both good and bad (1Cor.3:11-15; 2Cor.5:10; Matt.165:27; Rom.2:6; 2Tim.4:14)
5.  Result:  Reward or loss of reward, but never loss of one's soul for any wrong doings properly confessed and forgiven (1Cor.3:11-15).  This judgment deals with the believer as a servant (Rom.14; 2Cor.5:10,11)

I wonder. He says God doesnt exist and yet he has thread upon thread on the punishment of the same non-existent God? You gotta laugh at the insecurity of these folks.

lol you seem too desperate to "help" us see the light. Perhaps the truth is you are the one with the problem, i dont remember any of us complaining about being in darkness. We're doing just fine so shove your help elsewhere it might be needed.

I wish our ancestors had said that when the christians first came to africa.

In fact they probably did but were not given a choice. Now some of us still find it hard to release the chains.

1. During rapture, we are supposed to drop this sinful and physical body hence all skin cells, receptors and other biological terms i can think of. agreed?
2. If our souls(which is a virtual machine/simulation since no one has proven otherwise) are to receive the judgement, how is a spiritual entity supposed to feel physical pain
3. Most painfully, i think it's tragic and selfish to think that the purpose of life, the reasons to do good, not to kill your neighbour, to help less-privileged people etc(for hell believers, that is) are all part of a grand plan to escape eternal pain.
Wow!
 
hell sha, ok ooo.

Spot on.

Maybe,but none of them can hold a candle to the christian sect when it come to being confused.

Hell is no joke! You  will believe when you get there.

PLS LET ME UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, DO WE THINK THIS WORLD IS JUST A PLACE WE COME AND GO WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY, WE HAVE TO GIVE ACCOUNT OF OUR ACTIONS, AND DEPENDING ON YOUR ACTION YOU MAY END UP IN HELL OR YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST GO FREE AFTER ALL THE ATROCITIES YOU HAVE DONE, NO WAY,  WE MUST PAY FOR OUR ACTIONS +/-
