it will die
I don't think we would be able to see the people in Hell. Heaven is about joy, love, and peace. I would not think that seeing people in Hell would be conducive to love, joy, and peace. It would engender sorrow. I think it is speaking about the contempt of God, not of people.Take the word contempt as abhor and apply Daniel 12:2 to the way people will abhor at the men that transgressed against God at the time of the new
earth.
Unless you are reconciled by Christ, of course.If you sin, you are separated from God. He won't tolerate sin, he hates it.
And your right, sin leads to death and Hell.
There is no mention of Him creating the elements and their names either. But we know they are there.
Everything that ever was or is or will be is created by God, including hell (Colossians 1:16). John 1:3 says, “All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.” God alone has the power to cast someone into hell (Luke 12:5). Jesus holds the keys of death and Hades (Revelation 1:18).
Jesus said that hell was “prepared” for Satan and the demons (Matthew 25:41). It is a just punishment for the wicked one. Hell, or the lake of fire, will also be the destination for those who reject Christ (2 Peter 2:4–9). The good news is that people can avoid hell. God, in His infinite mercy and love, has made a way of salvation for everyone who trusts in God’s Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:16, 36; 5:24).
There's no mention of DNA. He created that also...we know it's there.
Christ speaks more about Hell in the NT. Than any other person in the Bible.
He was there before, during and will be after the creation.
Ignoring Hell. Doesn't make it go away. It's there, it real and it's scriptural.
Well, which is it? Hell? Hades? The Lake of Fire? Those who subscribe to Hell seem to lump anything in with "Hell" that they can, context allowing. Ask yourself, if Hell is real, why does your Bible say so little about the subject? Keep in mind that "Hell" was inserted into the text in place of other words which had more down-to-earth meanings. I read my KJV from one end to the other, and could not find enough support for the concept to put a foundation under the doctrine of Hell. Interestingly, I could not find a connection between Satan and Hell, even aside from the question of Hell's existence.
As for your statement that "Christ speaks more about Hell..." I found only that He spoke more about Gehenna, but the apostles later on hardly mentioned Hell.
I concluded that Hell is a later insertion into the text. This is supported by the Bibles almost complete silence on Hell in:
the creation account
the historical narratives
the Law given to Moses
the Psalms
the Proverbs
and on, and on.
I concluded that, rightly translated, understood, and explained, Hell is not to be found in the Bible, the KJV notwithstanding.
Hell was not created for people. It was created for Satan and the fallen angels. People do not go to Hell for sinning. If that were the case, everyone would go to Hell. People only go to Hell for rejecting Christ. That is it, no other reason. I don't see Hell as punishment for sin, but as separation from God because people refuse to accept Him on His terms, through the sacrifice of Christ.Your right Christ spoke of Gehenna as a metaphor for Hell. Remember who He was speaking to. He was telling these people about Hell and giving them a description by what they knew.
Just as people today say "War is Hell", It can be like hell, terrible, scary, tormenting and many other things.
Hell is real. And it's spoke of many times throughout the scripture. If you have sin in your life. And you have not repented. Because of sin, that's where sinners go Hell. It's punishment for sinning directly against God. The more you sin, the more wrath you incur against you with God.
So denying it won't make it go away.
I've been thinking about energy and God being Energy. I thought about what you say as negative energy- in physics, there is no negative energy, but the absence of energy, if that makes sense. The absence of energy would be like a black hole.Someone once told me about how demons cannot feel for example, sand between the toes, grass etc. That they are completely cut off from Gods material creation, even smell, they are in league with the devil and against the material world. My guess is that your right, they thrive solely on negative energy and nothing else. Pure evil

Psalm 5:5sin is something that we do
-and-
we all do it

it is not what we are
-and-
God loves the sinner
I have to reread Isaiah to get the full context. In Heaven, no one wants to disobey God, there is no need for a warning of any kind.What do you think is happening at the end of Isaiah 66? Will the wicked in
the lake of fire forever be like a dump area in Edom as a warning to never
again disobey God Almighty? At the time of the new earth others have to go
view them.
I have been thinking a lot about sound and light lately. I have been thinking of Hell as an absence of sound and light, being cast into the outer darkness without God. Just read the first few verses of John about in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God. Darkness is the absence of light, He is the Light and the Sound. I have been thinking for years that total separation from God would be much worse as a Hell than a literal fire. Torment would be without Christ, the absence of the Light and Sound.
Does this make sense to anyone? I'm percolating some theories here. I believe the Bible is the inherent Word of God, but I don't know if we could really comprehend what Hell is- total annhilation of the soul (absence of sound and light) and perhaps describing it as fire is the only way himans can begin to understand the continuous torture of being without God. I think about the lines in the Bible about being cast into the outer darkness.
The rich man died and was buried....in hell
See how the location changed? The body was
in one place...the grave....but his soul lived on in hell.
Look at what happened to Jonah in chapter 2. He had prayed
from hell. Later is when he prayed from inside the fish.
What I mean is this, I believe in the Bible- that it is the inerrant word of God. I know that Hell was prepared for Satan and the Fallen Angels. I know that God does not desire ANY to perish II Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance." And that human souls only go to Hell because of rejecting Christ- not for sin at all.it's hard to be explained
the biblical "hell" is a spirit of deterioration, the "death" and the "hell" are the two main aspects of deterioration, actually the "hell" is the other "death" in a way similar to how the "beast" is the other(second) "devil", as well as to how there are "beast" and another(second) "beast"
the diseases/illnesses are a deterioration, the congenital defects are a deterioration, the mental disorders are a deterioration, the unfavorable aging is a deterioration, the harms/injuries/wounds are a deterioration, etc., but (the) unrighteousness/evilness is also a deterioration, including (the) haughtiness, avarice/rapacity, (the) bitter envy/jealousy, hatred, malice, aggression, etc.
there is also a place where all manifestations of the "darkness" will be cast and locked away without being able to get out of there till the end of the eternity - namely the so-called "lake of fire"
