I never knew Socrates was a Christian theologian.

Its popular culture that has created the confusion and comical imagery of Heaven and Hell, not the Bible. Any sincere person seeking wisdom on the subject will clearly see God’s will, plan, and purpose for Hell in His Word.

The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. 2 Peter 3:9 NLT

When it comes to the free gift of Salvation, God is not the problem. Its pride, and the rebellious nature of man under the influence of the god of this world.

Being cut off from Light, Life, and Love Himself was a living hell for me. Spending eternity that way would be unimaginable. Its good to be a child of God and free from fear.

38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39 NIV

Amen! One of my favorite passages in Scripture.
