I get and understand what you mean. All I was saying to Lori is that hell on earth and the hell as described in the Bible are 2 different things.
If one will preserve this body and hell will have a temperature higher then 100 C i will be cooked, if it will have higher then 240 C it will get burned .
Body wise to last long time in so called physical hell it have to be no higher then in a desert.
Hell must be some form of remorse for not doing the right thing when the opportunity was there .
they have used parables to describe it as painful in a physical sense.
Remorse for not doing something right, like sending a kid to its room for doing something wrong? Little drastic if you ask me. :bugeye:
Not doing something right? Skip over to tiassa's thread about the "pastor" who raped and almost murdered a girl and wants mercy for entertaining demons.
What makes you think that evil people like this are going to somehow stop being evil when they pass on?
Do you realize that there can't be a heaven without a hell? I know math isn't your strong suit but it's simple extrapolation.
For starters I was commenting on the phrase yaracuy used of "Not doing something right". Did you know your God sets it up for people to go to Hell who happen to not believe that Jesus is his son? For a lack of belief- which I find rather drastic. I do not agree with behavior that this "pastor" did, wasn't even thinking of those people. I was thinking of those who go to Hell for not believing the way the Biblical God wants them to.
Yeah, like knowing the Bible by reading it isn't your strong suit But, anyway, come on ole wise one, why can't their be heaven without hell? Do you think someone being deaf makes me hear? :bugeye:
No hell in the old testament...even up to the rise of the Pharisees.Do you realize that there can't be a heaven without a hell?

Right.
We have no record of anyone, ever, committing a crime after they've died. It's quite simple.
Hell is created to intimidate unbelievers.
It is also an object used by crazy fanatic believers to impose fear and suffering on their enemy.
Not even the Pharisees believed in hell...nor the Sadducees.Well maybe that's what it took, some Pharisees. Ha!
Not even the Pharisees believed in hell...nor the Sadducees.
The Greek new testament speaks only of Hades, Tartarus and Gehenna.
All Greek words, except Gehenna is derived from the Hebrew 'Gehinnom' and comes from the traditons of the Misnah.
Although its somewhat vague, Gehenna was apparently thought to exist ONLY after the resurrection of the dead.
Well IMO it stands to reason that if there is an afterlife that people will be just as fucked up there as they are here if not more so.
Perhaps this was the circumstance for millions of years before the arrival of civilised humans.if there was a circumstance in which evil was not bridled by good, it would be pretty hellish. don't you think?
Depends on who you ask. According to many down here in the Bible Belt:

Animals spend most of their time tearing each other to pieces or running for their lives.
Some of them may look CUTE to us...but from their own point of view theres nothing cute about it.
Dolphins arent really smiling...
