I believe it is in another dimension. On the opposite side of a black hole perhaps? But it is somewhere far away from earth and with a one way entrance.

A combustion reaction (ie. burning something) requires oxygen and carbon as reactants and produces the by-products of ash and CO2.
In a combustion reaction, if the mass of the reactants is finite, then the reaction will last for a finite amount of time.
If something lasts for a finite amount of time, it does not last forever.
Therefore, a combustion reaction in which the mass of the reactants is finite will not last forever.
Our bodies have a finite mass.
In hell, our bodies will burn forever.
Therefore, hell must not exist in this universe, but in a different universe in which there is no law of conservation of matter.

Revelation describes hell as a "lake of burning sulfur" - this is pretty specific, since Sulfur is an element on the periodic table, I've never heard of such a thing as "non-literal sulfur".Jig said:This is of course, if you you believe are bodies will actually burn with real fire. We are told that hell is a place of utter darkness...this would not make sense if the fire was real.
The reaction doesn't last forever. The mass does last forever but it changes form from carbon, oxygen and other reactants to carbon dioxide and ash.Jig said:Hmmm.....nothing can be destroyed or created, wouldn't that mean everything lasts forever, in some form or another? Nothing is truely finite.

Anyway, for some logic:
Hell is described as a lake of fire.
Hell is describe das a place of darkness.
Fire and darkness cannot co-exist.
Therefore, either the word "darkness" or the word "fire" is used metaphorically.
The word "fire" is not used metaphorically (see Revelation)
Therefore, the word "darkness" is used metaphorically.

that's correct, but those men didn't feel any pain either.Read Danial 3:20-30....God can stop the flesh from burning even in flames. why can't this be true in Hell?
The story in Danial happened here on Earth, not aonther dimention.
Chopinzee said:If the darkness/light thing were not symbolic, this would prove my point furthur that Hell exists in a different universe. Because there is light everywhere in this universe, even in the darkest places, there is still a tiny amount of light.
You are claiming divine intervention will exist in hell. But you previously stated that hell is complete separation from God. This is a contradiction.Jig said:Read Danial 3:20-30....God can stop the flesh from burning even in flames. why can't this be true in Hell?
