No hell fire. Nothing like hell fire. The wages of sin is death. From dust you are made to dust you shall return....this is what I believe. And if truly there is hell 99% of the people alive or dead will have a portion in it. |

Sterope:You getting me wrong sweetheart, on the contrary I strongly believe on the law of cause and effect(Gal 6:7), telling people they will burn in hell for eternity has not in any way stop anybody from committing hideous crimes. The facts are there for me and you to point to. I believe everybody will get result of their actions, but religious people should stop making it look as if our loving heavenly father enjoys roasting his creature in hell for eternity! |

Sterope: But the Bible teaches that death is the punishment of sin. When Adam and eve were being warned about disobedience, death was the punishment and not torment. Genesis 3:3 But God has said about the fruit of the tree that is in the middle of the garden: ‘You must not eat from it, no, you must not touch it; otherwise you will die.’” All along death has been the punishment and not burning in fire Futhermore, at death, a person loses all consciousness and can't feel anything including pain. Ecclesiaties 9:10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all your might, for there is no work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going. Ecclesiates 9:5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all, nor do they have any more reward, because all memory of them is forgotten. So how can the clear Bible teaching that we can't feel anything at death compare with burning sensation in hell....? It defies logic. As for death being a simple punishment, when you consider that we were originally designed to live forever and Jesus death gives us the opportunity to live forever, a person who dies without the prospect of living forever has lost everything..... That's the ultimate punishment. |

No one is begging you to stop. It is a warning for what it is to come. It is interesting how you view hell as bad. That sounds like the hypocritical western principles westeners rant about when they chant about democracy and human rights. There is nothing evil about consequences. This is how God sees and how God says it : You were placed on earth for a reason and you chose not to listen. The consequences of that arrogance is on you. It shouldn't matter what punishment it is. You disobeyed and there are promises to be be kept. johnog4sure: |

Sterope: Of course we should fear God. Our fear should be that of displeasing him because we love him so much. Not because of punishment of being used as human suya.... That's called morbid fear. If you were a parent, would you like your children to obey you because they respect and appreciate you or because you will leave them with koboko marks all over their body Always remember that God is love Ask yourself, will a God of love do this? |

They are dead. They are not missing anything. Have you seen anything dead person wishing for food. They are not missing out on anything because they have cease to exist. Your biblical interpretation is faulty. If the Bible says death is the punishment of sins. It could be in literal sense that death gives no room for salvation because it is too late to correct their mistakes. Dead unrighteous people are stuck but for dead righteous people, they don't need to seek salvation. That interpretation seems plausible which is why you have hell in the Bible as well. Pimples: |

ReacherSaidNoth: THIS IS WHY I SAY CHRISTIANITY IS A GUTTER RELIGION FOR LOW IQ IDIOTS. The reason they believe that crap is because it was DELIBERATELY drilled into their heads when they were children. Too young to smell bs. By the time they become adults, they are so deep into the lies and fairytales, it’s like utter truth to them. If anyone of them had been introduced to Christianity as ADULTS, they would have rejected it outright, because the story is so stupid and outlandish. I mean, they actually believe AS ADULTS, that a man walked atop a sea, changed 3 fishes to 500, rose from the dead and flew up into heaven from a dinner table as his friends looked on! It’s incredible. 2 Likes |

Sterope: If I were to go theological, do you know that in the original Bible texts the word hell fire does not exist? You will see 'HELL' or 'FIRE' separately not as one one or phrase. Hell is actually an ancient word which meant the grave I'll give you references when I get home..... The Bibles teaching is clear. Hellfire originated from a mixture of pagan or satanic religion and the fake Christianity being practiced these days. It was originally formulated as a means to control people and increase the power of the churches.... 1 Like |

Freedomman1960: There are things said here that are so true, not completely but closer to the truth. But people have become too religious even Christians who have turned Jesus into a religion, of belief without understanding nor obedience. |

God isn't a romantic love. God isn't our parents. You can love to not displease him or you can love him because of the day of account. God is absolute and there is hellfire and he wants you to fear the day It comes and you will account for your actions. You won't have hellfire if he doesn't want morbid fear. In the Qur'an there are many warnings. Most times when he mentions a prophet or you hear a prophet's prayer - it is about praying for belief and steadfastness in his absolute, prayers, charity, and righteousness. He tells you not to be arrogant and look into the world and see for yourself what he has created. You need to stop interpreting the essence of God from your human lens. He is not human and he could care less about fitting into our human principles. He wants obedience and that is all. Have they not travelled throughout the land so their hearts may reason, and their ears may listen? Indeed, it is not the eyes that are blind, but it is the hearts in the chests that grow blind.

Does Judaism have hellfire? I am curious on the theological context. But you need to be careful about interpretations from other people. The lack of hell makes no sense whatsoever. Pimples: |
