Are you scared of hellfire?

Question

Are you even a bit scared of the blazing hellfire, think of it burning for eternity how can you live through that?

Answer 1

no.

I don't believe in a vengful God or  a God of punishment. Even psychologists hav elearned that punishment works less than rewards and praise, and disciplin. That's why parents are now encouraged to use time outs and PRAISE for good work done. I do not believe in a God that hurts others for punishment- God is not more backwards than mankind ;)

h**l fire speaks more of how people thought way back when.

h**l was never intended to be taken literaly in th ebible, as the Jewish!! they don't believe in h**l yet their old test. bible speaks of the devil and h**l- it is symbolic. I'll get shot down probably by christians  for pointing this out..

Answer 2

No, I'm not afraid because I live my life for the Father.

Answer 3

Hellfire is from Roman Catholic Mythology.

Job (in Job 14:13) prayed to be hidden in h**l. Why?

In the Old Testament the Hebrew word "sheol" (generally translated "h**l") is described as an unconscious sleep-like state:

Job 14:10-13

Psalm 6:5

Psalm 13:3

Psalm 115:17

Psalm 146:4

Ecclesiastes 3:19,20

Ecclesiastes 9:5-10

Isaiah 38:17-19

Daniel 13:13

In the New Testament the Greek word "hades" (also generally translated "h**l") is also described as an unconscious sleep-like state:

John 11:11-14

Acts 2:29

Acts 2:34

Acts 7:60

Acts 13:36

1 Corinthians 7:39 [Greek]

1 Corinthians 15:6

1 Corinthians 15:51

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

Moreover, the idea of torment in the New Testament is the result of people being unfamiliarity with the Old Testament.

For example where Jesus describes "Gehenna" (generally translated "hellfire") at Mark 9:47-48, both his original audience and the early readers of the New Testament would have recognized the reference Jesus was making.

They were familiar with this quote from the last verse in Isaiah. They knew what it talked about; not people being tormented; but rather about dead carcasses being consumed by fires.

Answer 4

Not really, If I must got through it for eternity then I guess I shall, no need In wasting what little life I have here worrying about it.

Answer 5

yes! h**l isn't the life of da party!
