What is that about Hell?

Have you ever wondered whether there is Hell or not? I am sure any
one at some point in life comes up with the big 'Why-Question', and
may turn into a truth or answer seeker. Then, if this person happens
to live in the western world, he or she may encounter people who say
Jesus Christ is the answer to this great question. At the same time,
though, these Christians go on saying that if this person Jesus
Christ is not believed in, including His sacrificial death, eternal
torment is the portion of such a one.

This statement may either drive the seeker away, horrified, or drive
him/her into the arms of Christendom. But what if this isn't the
truth? What if Hell and eternal torment doesn't exist? What if it is
a great lie, perpetuated throughout history by human tradition?

Only the bible, the word of God, can give us answers to this
question. If God created a Hell for the unbelievers, it has to be
written somewhere. If it is not written, however, then it is not true.

I tend to think of it like this

Hell is standing before The Most Holy God unwillingly, or to better say,Forced to stand before God unprepared in his account of his life.

Just a thought,

The Rev.

When scripture is consulted, the word hell, or any similar association, is not found anywhere in scripture. The dead are dead, unconscious, in complete oblivion until resurrection. I will back up this view with some scripture later.
