I have heard that some people view the Bible as teaching that hell will last forever. Others contend that after so long a time God will end the suffering because He is a merciful God. What does the Bible say about this?
Hell is bad. Don't go There. - In Reply - 3 years ago
In Matthew 13:42, Jesus says: "And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." HELL IS FOREVER. SzoAll who enter hell; abandon all hope! The horror of hell; for even one second is unbearable but FOREVER!
The Hebrew Bible (or Old Testament) uses the word Sheol to describe the realm of the dead. Sometimes described as a pit and imagined to be a literal place under the earth, Sheol is where the dead - all of them, good and bad - go when they die.
Is hell for all eternity? The Christian Bible clearly states that hell is eternal punishment. There are several other phrases that the Bible uses to describe this place of eternal torture including darkness, weeping, torment, anguish, and most importantly, eternal separation from God.
I have a testimony of just before I took the Lords hand to save me: He let me see hell. Isaiah 14
It was twisted roots, so dense you can't move. I heard screams, or it might've been me screaming. I grabbed the Lords hand and the vision stopped.
That scripture in Isaiah says the same thing but it's talking about Satan. Don't go there. The most wonderful, exciting thing can happen instead. You get to meet Jesus if you choose him. He prays for all Saints (that's you), every day. If you Hillary for help, he's right there.
There's a link out on the red page with a prayer on it. You can pray to the Lord yourself.
Come back to this room and ask us anything you need to know quick ok? I have the best sense of humor. God saw what he was getting when he chose me :D
