I mean technically, if you really read about hell in the bible, it's only the only place god is not. I mean it's described as an awful lake of fire and so on, but that's just because the people who were reading it needed to hear that the people persecuting them were going to get theirs.

But yeah, what you said is what most people believe, I just think it's funny that the word for Hell when Jesus talks about it is actually Gahanna which is the place outside Jerusalem where they burned all their refuse.

Just gonna say, as a Catholic, He never sends anyone to Hell, they send themeselves to Hell. Furthermore, the whole "Hell is the worst pain you can imagine" immediately makes one think Of a torture chamber. That isn't neccessarily what Hell is. Hell is simply a separation from God. It is being alone and miserable that is thgreatest pain.

The whole idea of God sending people to infinite torture because man is a depraved, wicked thing is a very harmful calvinistic idea.

Not trying to be a troll. I just want to set the records straight.
