    Do we deserve Hell?

    Growing up Evangelical, I always heard that in sermons and Biblical studies. How does Orthodoxy view this statement?

    Hell At Its Worst

    The best description of Hell I have ever heard referred to is as a 'Christless eternity'. Imagine all the wonderful things that Jesus is. Now imagine all that runs contrary to Him. Then imagine a place where nothing of His blessedness or His blessings are ever present, or ever will be, and all...

    Global Warming Or........

    Is the weather going bonkers because of man's use of fossil fuels, et. al., as the disciples of the First Church of Global Warming say? Or is the world in a state of irreversible decay because of man's sin, as the Bible indicates (Romans 8:21)? Are we headed for a climate catastrophe, as the...

    Substitutionary Atonement and Harrowing of Hell

    Since Christ, according to Lutherans, bore the wrath of God due to sinners, is it the case that Lutherans interpret Christ's descent to Hades as Christ suffering from the fires of Hell for three days?

    Loss of Salvation? Is God fed up with me?

    I’m in complete and utter despair and ruin. I’m pretty sure that my life is ruin. I was raised in a Christian home. Claimed to be a Christ follower my whole life and felt like I was. I have struggled with my sexual sin most of my life. When I was younger it was masturbation and occasionally...

    Not saved

    I was brought up in church and Jesus/God was very important to me and I was fearful of God. Then I turned 15 and sat beside an atheist in my religious studies class and he never said anything in particular that made me doubt but the number of things he'd say to me gave doubt over time and I...

    Something's Bothering Me...

    I asked this question in the feedback section but I got no reply. I'm just wondering, who has the vote on what topic is considered "controversial" on here? Isn't there some theological bias here? I think it's unfair to have some views deemed "controversial" when maybe even most people do agree...

    If Jesus took the punishment for all sinners, why doesn't he go to Hell?

    Hi. This is a serious question. Im questioning everything at the moment, maybe its just a crisis, maybe the Holy Spirit is guiding me, because i pray to be led in all truth and to see all lies... If Jesus took my punishment - hell for eternity - why then got he resurrected to sit on the...

    Going to Heaven, or not...

    At some times I can use a bit of confirmation that I'm doing the right things that Jesus ordered, as you may have noticed. That the signs point in the right direction, with an eye on the afterlife i.e. the Real Life. In my working life I developed a lot of 'scorecards' and now I found an...

    Question about eternal damnation

    Why did God create a place like hell to put "damned souls and spirits" in it? Isnt it more merciful to control/alt/delete those souls from creation instead of punishing them and making them suffer forever?

    Do some believe babies go to Hell?

    I don't believe that but I would be interested to know if there is anyone here who believes that.

    JW are people being predestined to hell really fair?

    Since this seems to be what JWs are thinking in the background on Hell. I decided to ask it here. are people being predestined to hell really fair? for those unaware, Russell was raised in a church that basically taught that.

    Are demons real and do they interfere with people?

    Here is a topic ignored in many Amarican churches, it may offend someone. Are the Demonic forces actively seeking our downfall, are they dormant, have they never been a threat, or do they not exist at all. So, where do you stand? I for one, know that demons are real and active. They are in a...

    Is Hell Real?

    I have heard that many Christians do not believe that hell is real. I found this to be absurd, but I am open to hearing both sides of the argument. So that is what has lead me to proposing this question, is Hell real? If it is or is not please explain. P.S. I for one do believe it exist. Sorry...

    I'm apostate and cannot return to God, please pray for me.. (Hebrews 6)

    All prayers are highly appreciated. But as far as trying to counsel me.. I first want to start by requesting that you'll only answer if you have a solid foundation on bible doctrines. Saying to me, "well that doesn't apply to you because God is love He wouldn't send you to hell; or well you care...

    I cannot come back to God (Hebrews 6)

    The arrogant apperance of the title was just an attention grabber. I desperately need help. I want to ask people not to answer this thread unless they know their bible doctrines. Saying, "well God is love and He wouldn't do that," will not help me. I grew up in a Christian home and was always...

    Hell/Hades, The 1000 year reign, and the second death

    Im wanting more information on these topics, I don't go to church but I listen to sermons online for discernment reasons. It's hard to get good answers on these sorts of things. One of my big questions is about Hell, the current holding place for sinners without repentance. I listened to Bryan...

    CONDITIONAL IMMORTALITY - annihiliationism

    Very few people study the subject of hell. Why? Liberals don't believe in it. Conservatives think they've got all the answers, so why bother? Biblically, the assertion of the existence of hell is based upon a false premise. [Read the following very carefully.] A challenge will be issued at...
