Why do you think that "Hell is an expression of Gods compassion"?Yes. I would say that Hell is an expression of Gods compassion.
Can you tell me what you mean by hell?If you do not why do you not believe in "hell"?
When we talk about Hell, what we are talking about it the wrath of God. There can be no Love without Wrath. Hell is the ultimate place where Gods justice is carried out. Some will say that Hell is a place for those who want to be there. Others will say that Hell is a place for those who suppress the truth of God, but either way Justice is served in Hell.Why do you think that "Hell is an expression of Gods compassion"?
Interesting....... Do you say, "My parents love me... and I have the scars of beatings to prove it?" I kind of doubt it.When we talk about Hell, what we are talking about it the wrath of God.

The late Hunter Thompson was once asked if he believed in God. He said he did and that He and God where both interested in the same thing; JUSTICE. That's what Hell is; justice. We cannot say that about Heaven. Heaven is not a place of Justice because not one in Heaven deserves to be there.
The question is, do you believe in Hell. Not how would you like Hell to be.Interesting....... Do you say, "My parents love me... and I have the scars of beatings to prove it?" I kind of doubt it.
BTW, you might find the definition of God's justice to be interesting. It is not "vengeance", but rather "setting wrong things, right." (Read Isaiah 61... all the way through, AND INCLUDING verse 8.)
And when you get that "Ah Hah!" moment, and want to say that you saw the word "vengeance" in there, seriously ask yourself WHY Jesus very deliberately left that word out when He quoted this passage in the temple.)
Of course I believe in something other than the kingdom for unbelievers, but the problem with all our declarations of knowing all about lakes of fire and torment, there is really no direct description of what that will be.The question is, do you believe in Hell. Not how would you like Hell to be.
Yes.it is JUSTICE.And those who are there have put themselves there.When we talk about Hell, what we are talking about it the wrath of God. There can be no Love without Wrath.

True, and we'll never know.Of course I believe in something other than the kingdom for unbelievers, but the problem with all our declarations of knowing all about lakes of fire and torment, there is really no direct description of what that will be.
We'll never know?True, and we'll never know.
What it's like.We'll never know?
What it's like.
It's been said that this life is the closest to heaven the unsaved will ever know, & the closest to Hell the saved will ever know.
Good words.Oh so true.What it's like.

The Bible does say that hades and hell are very,very bad.You just don't want to go there.I think it would be a huge mistake to tell yourself that you are curious and want to find out.It would be easier to do than to be obedient to God and go to heaven.The Bible does say that broad is the road to hell but narrow is the road to heaven and not alot of people are going to make it.I dont think hell is what many people think. I dont want to comment on it because i dont really know.
I think too many things have been taken way out of context. Even things like early day 'slavery'. I guess a 'slave' was just the name for what we now call today a 'farm hand' for example. Anyone who works for someone else is there 'labourer'.
You don't think about what?I dont think about it because its negative. If you read the word negative it will be negative. Read it positive and it will be positive.
Good evasion.Doing the dishes right now because im about to go fishing. Have a good day.
I should have just done the dishes and stayed home. I got nothing. Seldom do i catch nothing. Something is not right.
