is it OK?

[Truth and Reconciliation]

But if you're just using it as a part of speech, then DEFINITELY NO!

The phrase "go to hell" not taken literally could very well mean "you're kidding, right?", but still, use the latter and you won't regret it later. =)

is it alright for somebody to want another person to got to Hell?

To your question, the answer is NO.

is it alright for somebody to want another person to got to Hell?

Another point to consider if one is ever tempted to wish this upon another person is whether we are any less deserving ourselves. Are we really prepared to believe that we are any better in God's eyes than anyone else? Do we really want to take the risk that God would comply with our wish and, when judging us by the same yardstick, hope that we come out cleaner? We are all sinners in God's eyes and whatever judgement we wish upon another human, we also wish upon ourselves.......

“If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” John 8:7-10

I agree totally. How can you call someone else a sinner when you are one yourself.

No.

is it alright for somebody to want another person to got to Hell?

No not unless they are willing to go there also.
One should never wish something on someone that they wouldn't want for themselves.
Golden rule.

If someone is abusing you, you should contact the authorities.

No, my prayer is that hell be a very empty place.

My prayer for you is that if you are in an abusive situation, that you seek aid and remove yourself from that situation as soon as possible. Abuse tends to escalate. If you are not in this type of situation and someone is just bugging you, then you can do as Paul instructed the Roman Christians to do and heap burning coals on their head:

Romans 12:

14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly Do not be wise in your own estimation 17Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men.18If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.
19Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord. 20"BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD."
21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

The Roman Christians suffered much persecution at the hands of Nero and other Romans, but Paul still said that they should not seek revenge.

These posts have excellent suggestions/comments. I will most likey repeat a few of them - I do not mean to claim the ideas as my own.

First, with all due respect and love, I think that you know it is not ok to want someone to go to hell. As a continuous wanting, it is spiritually, emotionally, physically, etc. unhealthy. Perhaps there is something else that you would like to know or get advice about?

If you are honestly being abused, seeking and following through with good help will change your feelings (eventually). I will not claim that getting help is necessarily easy, but, ultimately it is a lot easier than not getting help. It is safe to assume (if not already "proven") that most significant types of abuse increase the chance of illness (physical or psychological) or even death. Emotional abuse can lead to depression (increases the chance of physical illness or even death-suicide). Physical abuse is somewhat self explanatory. But often the resulting emotional trama is overlooked. If the abuse has a short history, nip it in the bud. If it has gone on for a while, you are probably "sick of it", to put it lightly. This may help drive you to go through with getting help. A lot of times a person that is being abused will feel guilty for getting help &/or "turning someone in" - the abuser(s) (or feeling that you have). Figuratively or literally (you choose), don't believe that (or any other) lie from satan. Getting help is the best for both/all of you.

Whatever the decision/situation, I urge you to start/continue to pray.

I don't know. Some thoughts just pop in your head. You can't stop that. But if it becomes a reccuring thought, that's not alright, no.

 

[RedTulipMom]

if your being abused call the abuse hotline and ask for help.

no. Christ commands us to love our neighbor as our self. this is a simplistic explanation; but even when we don't like someone we have to wish them well.

We don't have to do anything, but there are certain things that we should do.

God loves everyone. Jesus died for everyone. So, I guess the anwser would be no.

 

[Jesusfan4ever]

No, as Christians we need to have the same love for others that Jesus has for us.
