I already explained that I believe you and no one should try to convince you that it was not real.Just because hell is real doesn't mean it's a "fear tactic". Alright? It's a real place to avoid. If a doctor tells you to stop eating fatty foods or you will have a heart attack, it's just reality and not a "fear tactic".
Revelations 20
"9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.
10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fearhath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."We should be afraid of hell, we should be afraid of the damnation, and the lack of the Lord's presence. And it is a very terrifying thought to be without the Lord at all and in the hands of the enemy, tormented forever more.
I have heard that many Christians do not believe that hell is real.
One is required to believe that others, who dont believe what they believe, will burn in hell? And if we dont believe that, we will burn in hell too?Anyone who denies the reality of Hell is simply not a Christian. It is a foundational doctrine of the Christian faith to demonstrate God's justice and righteous wrath on unrepentant rebel sinners.
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 for the pun in the poll but is just too much for me to resist.
That sounds scary and alarming. Now I am likely to believe and follow any method you propose to avoid this fate.
I know of IRS scammers who call the young and elderly, telling them they are in trouble with the law, defrauded the government, and are about to get arrested. After they get the person alarmed and scared, they proceed to give them a way out: pay us 3k now and avoid all of the bad stuff mentioned at the beginning of the call. These scammer are very successful.
The Gospel should be different......
Yes, but Hell is jail, not the punishment of the Lake of Fire.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?

Because if there's no hell then everyone goes to heaven! There's no need to repent without a hell.
No thank you, please post your reasons on here. Not trying to be a pain but I would like everyone's opinion to be easily seen at one location.Please see this blog article that I wrote on this question:
In Defense Of The Doctrine Of Eternal, Conscious Torment In Hell. | Christian Forums
No, There are some who believe that the wages of sin is permanent death. You close your eyes, never to open them again. Isnt this a fate you would like to avoid as well? Wouldnt you still chose life to avoid death? Or would you only choose life to avoid burning?
It's still the realm of demons and demons will have their way with anyone who is there. That is not a pleasant thought.Yes, but Hell is jail, not the punishment of the Lake of Fire.
God came to save humanity ,not just individuals .It is because of Christ that we are able to communicate across océans ,through space,have labour saving devices ,fly from one end of the globe to the other ,and even beyond to planets .Salvation and the cross is completely unnecessary if there is no hell.
So no hell = no gospel. No reason for anyone to be saved.
A fire is for destruction, to consume something so it cannot return. We should fear this and learn the road of life Jesus offers.
Some people need it. There is one here who said blatantly that they wouldnt need a savior if it wasn't for hell. Maybe we should not remove their only reason for serving God......The concept of Hell is man made. It's a church doctrine, not the doctrine of Christ. The Eternal torment doctrine is what you come up with, when you don't understand the scriptures, so you either take things literally, or you take a verse as it's own interpretation.
If there's no hell, no repercussions then there is no need to be saved from hell. And that is what undeniably Jesus did, he saved us from our sins which were leading us to hell. This is an undeniable fact, at least if you're Christian.Some people need it. There is one here who said blatantly that they wouldnt need a savior if it wasn't for hell. Maybe we should not remove their only reason for serving God......
