Biblical Truth ping
Hell would be an eternity held away from that love in an unimaginable torment.
Eternal damnation bump.
What is innocence?
They just think that they love their sin. Imagine the Hell that it would be to know that total fulfilling love was held away from you and all you had for yourself was the stain of what you had done, forever.

OK. Thanks.
We appreciate the support!
There are many who try to deny that to escape the thought.
Extremely well written and as far as my study has revealed: straight up truth!
My problem: I don’t read this every day, so, from time to time, I tend to forget these admonitions and trade foolish indiscretions for eternal life. I must try harder, because to fail is unfathomable.
Thanks for this posting!
I just can’t reduce the Commandments to SUGGESTIONS, no matter how many stories I hear/read or how spiritually profitable they claim to be.
You do your thing. It’s your soul.
13Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John. 14But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented. 16As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. 17And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3)
John is baptizing with water, but Jesus is going to baptize “with the Holy Spirit and with fire.” There are only two baptisms – one of the Holy Spirit, and the other of fire. Everyone MUST have one or they get the other.
I do believe that the physical pain will pale in comparison to the mental anguish of all the missed chances people had.
An eternity of regret of why they didn’t listen when they had the opportunity.
We often think of heaven being so far beyond the best we can imagine, and yet the same holds true for hell. It is worse than we can ever imagine. All the horrifying images of it can’t compare to its reality any more than the most beautiful images can compare to heaven’s reality.
Nobody can keep the commandments.
Once you’ve broken one, you’re guilty of all.
Adam and Eve only broke ONE commandment to die, to experience separation from God.
Our only hope IS forgiveness, the judicial pardoning of all our sin.
You’d be far better off *gambling* on forgiveness than depending on your own righteousness, which is as filthy rags in the sight of God.
Forgiveness by God is a sure thing.
All true. I think that we are limited in that we envision things in a physical sense when there will be nothing physical after this life. As humans in God’s creation, we live in a bottle: all that we observe - mass, energy, dimensions, time - are creations of God that we are temporarily contained in.
Once this physical life is completed, we enter God’s world where is nothing physical and no time. We will either be with God or held away, an eternity of unimaginable torment.
