What is the purpose of Hell?
I’ve yet to hear a logical answer concerning the purpose of Hell. Coming from the perspective of eternal torment, what purpose does eternal torment in Hell serve? After billions, and billions, and billions, and billions of untold billions of eons… what will be accomplished with the majority of souls who have ever lived continuing to cry, scream, plead, and slash in agony?
Or could even Hell perhaps serve another purpose in God’s ultimate plan for all creation?

According to many... without hell the gospel is powerless.
i don't hold to this school of thought.

Re: What is the purpose of Hell?
The purpose of the lake of fire is to destroy the souls of the wicked.
28: And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. Matt. 10:28
This clears the Earth of evil making possible the complete victory of Christ over sin and its effects. In the ages that follow mankind will live in peace and love with Yeshua and the saints reigning and judging the nations.

Re: What is the purpose of Hell?
Hell and the Lake of Fire are two different places.
