How to prepare yourself for hell.

[aiki]

No, it means the things that make a person deserving of hell are the things that make hell for that person hellish.

If a person on this earth were absolutely certain they were going to hell,...

In this hypothetical scenario, can one conclude that the person was also absolutely certain that there was a heaven that they weren't going to?

If a person was certain they were going to hell, and then said Lord Jesus I accept you into my life, I am a sinner and I repent, then they are going to heaven, God will accept a person no matter what he has done if they come to him and repent, he doesn't judge like the world judges, we are all sinners, then if we choose Jesus were sinners saved by grace, bottom line is if they don't choose Jesus they will be going to hell, there is no name under heaven, from which you can be saved. God bless

This does not work. Speaking words do not work. Otherwise everyone on earth would be saved... even the devil.

I wouldn't wish Hell on my worst enemy, not even Hitler.... If someone tied me, burned me alive, or trapped a rat on my stomach until it ate through my insides (you get the point)... I still would not choose to send that person to hell. I would sooner be cooked in an oven 1000 times over then choose to send a person to hell.

I would sooner go to hell then one person go. Even the worst in history - aka Hilter - Osama bin laden - even more so my friends/spouse/children/etc. Send me to hell. Spare them.

How can God?

No, I don't agree. In Romans 9:6-23 Paul explicitly says that God decided our fate before we were born, that God has mercy on us or makes us stubborn as he chooses, not for anything that we have done. This is one of the reasons that I object to Christian indoctrination of children. Many people who have been brought up as Christians, and who believe the doctrines of Christianity because they have never had the opportunity of believing anything else, are going to be very shocked at the last judgment when they learn that, before they were born, God had already decided that they were the 'objects of retribution due for destruction' (Romans 9:22) and that nothing that they could have done would have changed that destiny. It is not that 'God will accept a person no matter what he (or she?) has done'; it is that God decided whom He would accept before any of us were born, and He is not a man that he should repent of his decision.

I am not particularly worried for myself. First, I don't believe in God, or in any afterlife, or in any heaven or hell. Second, I believe that the Jews are the chosen people of God and that Jesus's mission was only to the Jews, not to the Gentiles. Third, since I have realised that I am one of those predestined for hell, one of the 'objects of retribution due for destruction', I have had many years to get used to the idea. However, other people ought to be warned so that their eventual fate does not come as a surprise.
