Do You Believe In A Literal Fiery Hell?

I personally believe that when the Bible speaks of this fiery place commonly known as Hell is very real and that it is burning even now and that it will burn forevermore.

What do you believe concerning the doctrine of Everlasting Hell?

yes

I also believe in a metaphoric one.

Have you ever read either, "A Divine Revelation of Hell" or "23 Minutes in Hell"? Both are very interesting (I prefer the first one over the second) and makes it hard to believe that it isn't a literal place

Yeah.. God revealed hell to some charismatic flakes... wonder why He didn't bother to correct their trinity doctrine..

Hell, are we talking about the place that a loving God is going to send everybody that does'nt speak in tongues.

Send them there to let them burn in firey torment for a billions of years to punish them for there 70 years of sin?

How can the body both burn and turn to dust?

Just a question I've pondered.

I would not say that even as a joke. Do you have no fear?

Not afraid that God will burn me forever, no.

You, on the other hand, if you believe in hell, better be shaking in your boots. You think you know how to avoid it, but you can't possibly be 100% sure you won't end up there. How can you? There is so much argument about salvation, you better hope you picked the right set of steps (whether it's 3 or 1 or whatever), and followed them all, just right. Even if you did, is there absolutely no chance that you'll slip up some time in your life, maybe just before you die? Even if you believe OSAS (once saved always saved), how can you be 100% sure 1) that OSAS really is true and 2) you are really saved in the first place?

BTW, I freely admit that I could be wrong. Do you?
