HELL
God created everything according to the Bible; therefore, He created hell maybe to encourage people to do good? Hell probably was created after Adam eating the apple in the Garden of Eden because there was no need for hell before that event? Removing Adam from the Garden for one act of disobedience creates the Original Sin and states God’s tolerance for disobedience which seems contradictory to preaching forgiveness? Did Adam ask for forgiveness? What was God’s goal by requiring the Original Sin to be passed thru generations? How did the burden of O S motivate mankind to regain the equivalent of the Garden of Eden? If Adam had not eaten the apple, would he have lived forever?
It is difficult to assess how successful the concept of hell has been in preventing crime for obvious reasons.
Hell is part of the Christian Cure (CC). Think about it. Why would a fun-loving guy like the devil want to be hanging out in a fire pit with a couple of billion (Are there that many bad people?) screaming souls? Doing the devil’s work for a lifetime, and then he tortures you? Whoa, Nelly, that is not common sense. We can be sure the devil treats his own party people fine and dandy. The devil has to have a Harvard MBA degree to run a successful business for eons. The devil is in tight with the standardized capitalistic overpaid underperforming bonus-laden CEO! The devil is compassionate by comparison. Believe it. I give the pharmacies and the health care system as proof.
There are obviously two hells. The worst one is here on earth which is available to be enjoyed by all.
The other one: 1. Requires a soul, 2. Requires a personal vivid imagination of its environment. 3. Requires an imaginary indefinite length of time. 4. Requires imaginary type of pain. 5. Requires the most terrifying pain, nothingness. 6. Requires a soul capable of experiencing pain for hell to achieve its purpose. 7. Requires a soul to have some type of composition to experience pain. 8. Requires hell to be the hell of nothing. A terrifying motivating imaginary thought! Imagine a soul experiencing nothing for eternity! There is no past, no present, and no future. If are lucky, maybe only a scared name on part of a building destroyed by an earthquake. Sorta like a fuzzy dinosaur footprint in staring desert stone.
Heaven is the eternal motivational reward for being one of God’s healing shepherds.
