Before I begin I want to make plain that this is my belief. I do not suggest that anyone is wrong and I am right, it simply is how I believe and why.

If you are thinking of what the Christian religions teach as being hell, as in hell fire, then there are a few things you should know. According to the bible of the Christians:

1. What is the condition of the dead according to the bible.
Eccl 9:5 say that, “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.” If the dead are conscious of nothing then they can’t experience pain in a fiery place of torment.

2. The condition of the soul when the body dies: Ezekiel 18:4 says, “The soul that is sinning it itself will die.” So if the soul dies then what is left to torment in hell.

3. What kind of people go to hell according to Christian teachings? Bad people right.
According to Acts 2:25-27, says: “For David said respecting him, (Jesus), God did not leave my soul in Hades, (Greek word for hell).” So if you read verses 22-27 you will see that it is speaking about Jesus. God did not leave Jesus in Hades, Hell? Jesus was the most righteous man ever and yet the bible says his soul was in Hades. Also when Job was being tormented so much he prayed that his soul be kept safe in Sheol. Job 14:13, “ Oh that in Sheol you would conceal me.” Sheol is the Hebrew word for Hell. So in essence Job prayed to go to Hell. He was said to be “a man blameless and upright, fearing god and turning aside from bad.” Job 1:8

4. The penalty for sin is Death according to Romans 6:23. “The wages sin pays is death.”
So what is the hell of the bible? It is simply the common grave. The place the body lies when it breathes no more. It is the only thing that makes sense. You can look that up in the Encyclopedia.

5. One last point the bible says, "God is Love" 1John 4:8. It also calls him our heavenly father. Now what would you think of a parent who held his child’s hand over a fire to punish the child for doing something wrong? I call that child abuse. Most people do. Would the God of the bible be any less loving to his children here on earth. He would not do something that any right minded person would never do.
Jer 7:31 Tells us where the idea to burn children came from. “They, Humans, built the high places, in order to burn their sons and daughters in the fire, a thing I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.”

So do I believe in the Hell that the Christian religions teach? NO

Do I believe that the soul dies? I think it can, but that would be only in extreme cases.

What do I believe is the penalty for being a bad person? I believe that we, if we are bad enough, do not get the choice to reincarnate. We are forced to live in the spirit realm. We lose the opportunity to continue to learn and explore this universe.

I also do not conform to or believe any particular religion. I think it is important learn all sorts of things and then make an informed decision.

Peace and Light be with you on your journey,
