Anyone remember the old Rod Serling...."Twilight Zone"

What looks inviting is not what it appears.

do you remember the sketch in night gallery..when John Austin enters hell, and finds himself the prisoner of two middle aged couples who want to show their vacations...the idea that hell is tailored made...

 

[Gjallarhorn]

Pure random.

That sounds familiar.

But more to this thread....and to avoid digression...
What if your efforts here in this world are dealt in return...
on each occasion of meeting another person?

For example....If you take offense and strike me down, marking my face....
My brothers will receive you as you did receive me.
as many times as I might have brothers.

If heaven is a place of peace...I suspect that peace is enforced.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you... is fair warning.

... entirely self-made. Most people are in "Hell" right now.

Hell is a "bogeyman" used to scare children and others into behaving.

Same as the other poll.
None of the above.

Hell is 1. Separation from God. 2. The grave.

As is Summerland/Heaven, so is "Hell". That is, a place between incarnations that is what we make of it. If you've ever seen the movie "What Dreams May Come"... kind of like that. Annie's "Hell" is personal and of her own creation. Self-punishment for the spirit's perceived wrongdoings. Something to overcome before the spirit is ready to move on to another incarnation. Whereas Summerland would be a place of repose and reward between incarnations.

But your book is pure imagination. My book tells what is really true.

There isn't any place in my book that says that Hell evolved out of people's fears.

Your book was born out of imagination and myth, just like the tales of any other mythology. Of course it wouldn't say such a thing, it is the cause of many fears in and of itself.

As in Heaven so also in Hell. What a person takes with him is his treasure or his punishment. The difference is that in Hell all that fire tends to lead a person into contemplation of his sins whereas in Heaven all memory of sin is removed by God.

I suppose memory of other people's sins qualifies but certainly not as distressing as one's own I would think.

"Hell is"...a way to instill fear, manipulation and mind control on sheeple....!

I suspect one can experience their own personal hell here on Earth....

In Greek Hades and in Norse mythology Hel, it is a grave in a fiery place as opposed to being buried in a field.

The Hell tht people willenter at the end of time is actually the lake of Fire, the body of fire that is in the bowels of the earth.

Obviously you know very little of Greek and Norse mythology.

"Body of fire in the bowels of the earth"? Are you suggesting people are burning in the core of the earth?
