I am curious this is not a trap or trick question. It is to understand where you are coming from. However, I have reviewed some questions on here and think there are many who have a misguided idea of what Hell is. Like God is a sicko in the sky damning people who don't like him and smoked grass in 9th grade to a lake of fire.
I'm really curious. What is your understanding of what our scripture states that Hell is?
And also would you like to know what the real interpretation is so that you could better argue your points or is that arrogant? It may be.
Since a couple people asked if they were right...I will give my interpretation:
Hell isn't a realm God created. It just is. It's seperation from God. Satan will be thrown into a fiery pit. He is already in hell seperated from God. The fiery pit is torture. Hell will also be torture but not in the physical sense but in the sense that there will be no hope, no light, no God.
There is a differnce between where Satan will ultimately go and nonbelievers.
Many of you are right in that it has been "Christians" who don't understand the difference and who tell people "you're going to burn for your sins." But again, I always think that is Satan's work also.
