Do you believe in Hell?

Man created the concept and the fear of Hell.

What kind of loving supreme being would create a Hell?

Even the murderous god of the Old Testament didn't do it.

Man wrote Hell into the New Testament and perpetuated it fill the pews with sheep.

It never made any sense to me.

Not in a literal afterlife destination of torment sense. I know there are places named Hell on the planet and believe we can create hell for ourselves in our mind or physically. To say you believe because you read it in an ancient text sounds rather nuts to me. You might as well equally believe in Valhalla or the Egyptian underworld in that case. So no, I don't fear it.

Sometimes life is hellish on Earth, that is all hell is about, humans don't deserve the unfair punishment of eternal hell for their petty sins. Thankfully there need not be a hell in actuality.

The mind creates a hell when it dwells in what it perceives as anything other than heaven. This is the hell I only know. Hell is a worm hole for the mind creating unnecessary suffering. If one realizes the mind creates this hell, then why would one be scared of one's mind? The irony is, hell is scary to the one caught in its mind hell.

Unless one transcends the illusion of the mind and its hell making then one may never get over the fear of hell.

Yes,

The last place any human being would want to go

Nobody knows exactly , but from the bible you can see it as just a dark soul-less empty ,burning fire

You never really get over the fear, but aslong as your trying to be the best person you can be and have God in your heart, you can only hope with all your heart youll never meet that place

hell is a dimension according to me, just a little proof for it is, you can't visit hell when you have physical or atomic form, but as soul, with god's permission you can go and come. i can explain how hell will look like, but i am not supposed to, by creator's order.

I never used to. I scoffed at the idea. Then I became a Christian in my mid 20s after seeing in the Bible just who it was dying for my sins on the cross. I had to repent and trust only in what Jesus had done to be saved and it was the best thing ever to happen to me. A few years later on, once I had become established in the faith, the subject of hell came to my attention because I noticed that the person who warned most strongly about it in the Bible was Jesus.

I read all these things he said, as in Matthew 5:21-30, 10:26-28, 13:40-43, 18:7-9, 23:33, 25:41 and Luke 12:4-6 and 16:19-31. It dawned on me that he was using the strongest possible words to warn people of the need to avoid ending up there. Now, if hell was merely a state of eternal death - unconsciousness - none of his warnings would make any sense. I discovered the reality of hell through studying the Bible for myself. But by then I was so secure in the love of God, in Christ - knowing that I was forgiven and that hell would never be my portion now I was adopted into God's family - that it did not frighten me.

We need to take Jesus' warnings seriously, however. He came from Heaven to tell us what we need to know. That only leaves 1 other of your questions - what does it look like. Well, who cares? Does that even matter? For sure most people suffer from nonsense that arose after 600 A.D. with Muslim ideas, which were then taken up by Catholic Dante for his epic literary work, but see links below to be disabused of all of that and to discover what the biblical hell is.

Yes. I strongly believe that Hell is real and it's the most horrible, terrible place where all unrepentant sinners go. Weeping and wailing. And it's the place you don't want to go. And it's also the place where Satan and minions are now because of their exile. A lot of theologians have gave their own beliefs on Hell. For example. Saint Augustine of Hippo. He believed that unbaptized infants couldn't enter Heaven and they're damned. And a famous Italian poet named Dante had his personal journey through heaven. He described Hell as a fiery place of damnation. As for me, I'm doing what I can to ensure my salvation is not in jeopardy. I pray daily and go to mass daily. Sometimes watch it on tv. So what I'm saying is. Trust in God and in Jesus Christ. Go to mass and read the bible. And avoid eternal damnation.

Yes, I believe hell exist. I believe the Bible is God's word and hell is certainly mentioned several times. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, describes hell as a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth, and where the flame is never quenched (Matthew 13:41-42; Mark 9:42-48; Luke 16:). A place of torment and eternal regrets, made for the devil and his angels. Jesus preached about hell more than He did about heaven... Jesus is God the Son, and He can't lie.

There are cases of non believers crying out on their death beds to be pulled out of the fire, just before they actually died. What did they see? I believe they saw hell just before their souls went there.

I myself have no fear of hell since I know I'm born again. I believe with all of my heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, that He died on the cross for my sins and rose again 3 days later. I trust in Him alone for salvation. He laid down His life for us so we don't have to go to hell! (John 3:16-18; 2nd Peter 3:9)

Hell is a place of fire and eternal torment. It looks like the worst thing you have ever seen. Yes I am scared of it. I got over the fear of it by finding Jesus so that when I die God will not put me there.

No, I do not believe in it. I just look at it as simply a tactic to keep people from questioning and hence, turning away from their beliefs. Satan is much in a way the same thing. Christianity blames skepticism as Satan trying to make you lose your faith. Anyone who embraces reality should be immune to beliefs like this, fortunately.
