Do you think one could be worse than the other? What are they like? How do they differ? Do you believe in both?
I don't know if that's a sin.I hope for the Christian one, I dont like the idea
of hanging by my hair in eternal fire for the
sin of like, exposing my hair in public.
In Eastern Orthodox Christianity, we see hell not as a place where God cruelly punishes the wicked for their sins, but where the wicked, who have chosen to remain unrepentant for their sins and have rejected communion with God and man, choosing instead to hate God, are nonetheless surrounded by God's all-encompassing love, which they are not willing to accept. St. Isaac the Syrian says the following:Do you think one could be worse than the other? What are they like? How do they differ? Do you believe in both?
All three Abrahamic faiths believe Hell is a furnace or oven. This notion was started by the Jews and it is erroneous. There is no fire in Hell, the fire is going to be on earth. Fire is a symbol of holiness. God appeared and spoke to Moses in a burning bush. Hell is a Black Hole. It is darkness, freezing cold, hyper-gravity, and a bottomless pit.Do you think one could be worse than the other? What are they like? How do they differ? Do you believe in both?

My beliefs are not just biblical and theological, they are also scientific. There are physical laws in the Universe. I am interested in facts and Truth. Science and God are compatible.We are always amused, sort of, by the
way the theos just make things up and
then say they are true.
It is understandable in away, for lo, that
is how their "religions" were founded.

Sheol means both pit and grave. Jews also call it Gehenna and it is a furnace or oven. Orthodox Jews believe it to be a place of purgatory and you can only spend a maximum of one year there and then you will go to Heaven. I think that's because Yom Kippur comes once a year.I didn't think Judaism had a hell. I thought they believed in Sheol.
