Is There a Hell?

Some will tell you that even Jesus warned people of being in danger of Hell fire. But in my opinion, there's no way that Jesus was speaking of, or referring to, a place of fiery punishment that lasts forever and ever after you die. From the extensive research I've done on the subject, I've discovered that, far from being a place of unimaginable size and heat, Hell was actually another name for Gehenna, and what Jesus was actually referring to was a device called the Gehenna-2000 (patent pending).

These devices were mass-produced by some intergalactic company contracted by God to make his fire-and-brimstone threats against humanity logistically possible. Without going into such things as inter and extra dimensions and time-line dynamics which would take at least another two paragraphs to explain, the Gehenna-2000 is a one-man interdimensional containment chamber of sorts located in the non-time interval between the end of this life and the beginning of the after-life.

It's not as complicated as it sounds. If you've ever watched Star Trek, just think of this chamber as something that operates on much the same principle as the ship's transporters. What happens is that when you die, and you've been sinful, your atoms will have a distinct dark hue. When a certain shade of darkness is reached, rather than disperse and re-join with the All That Is, your atoms will be sucked into the nearest Gehenna-2000 chamber where your body will be reconstructed to the extent that your nervous system and your awareness of what's going on will be quite intact. Essentially, the soul is forced out of the body and made to enter this etheric chamber through one door, be subjected to the pain of four hundred non-etheric degrees for two minutes straight, be extracted from the chamber roughly through another door, and then extinguished once and for all.

Sounds like a bitch, I know, but consider the fact that Jesus negotiated with God on our behalf, and through an intensely hard-fought bargaining session (some bargaining session--he ended up on the cross!), convinced God to reduce the penalty for over-the-top sin. So instead of burning alive in Hell at two thousand degrees for eternity, a convicted sinner only has to do two minutes in the Gehenna-2000 chamber at 666 degrees, followed by soul extinguishment. Relatively speaking, that's a victory in anybody's book . . . except Jesus' book I suppose. Goes to show that a changer-of-water-into-wine does not a good negotiator make.

Now, it could be said that the extinguishment part of the deal is actually a testament to God's mercy because even if you bore no physical scars from the experience, the psychological damage from burning alive for two minutes (without a water break) would be far beyond what even Jesus could heal on a Sunday afternoon after having rested all day Saturday.

But don't get the wrong idea. Before being subjected to the Gehenna 2000, you'd really have to mess up, and I mean mess up bad. You would have to have done something like spit on a statue of Jesus (in the face), or have illicit sex on a horizontal six foot crucifix with an unwilling and underaged Christian girl who's been reduced to tears as a result of your sick idea of foreplay--forcing her to account for biblical contradictions and inaccuracies while being felt up roughly. Bottom line is that you've got to be a real bastard to find yourself materializing in a Gehenna-2000 chamber after kicking the bucket. A real bastard!

Gehenna was a valley outside of Jerusalem. Prior to becoming a constantly burning garbage dump, it was used for child sacrifices. Christ used the dump several times to illustrate the properties of the Lake of Fire.

Christ did not go to hell when He died. Paradise and hell were separated by a deep chasm. On one side was Abraham's Bosom. It was filled with those who belonged to God, but had not yet been redeemed. They were waiting for Christ to pay for their sins so they could be removed to Heaven. Christ went there to gather them.
Those in Abraham's bosom (about 10,000) returned with Christ to earth. They stayed here for 40 days, and then left with Christ as He presented them as His first fruits offering to His Father. Among them, King David, Abraham and his family, Moses...

Those on the other side of the chasm were experiencing the opposite of paradise. They are those who shunned God while they were alive. They are there to this day awaiting their day in court at the White Throne Judgment, where they will plead their case in front of the Judge. Christ, the Judge, will decide their fate. At that time, Satan and his followers will be judged and escorted to the Lake of Fire for eternity.
Satan, like all of God's creations, is eternal. He never dies. Neither do we. And we all have to go somewhere for eternity. Satan's eternity is the Lake of Fire. Ours is determined by our acceptance of the work that Christ did on our behalf. We either go straight up, or to hell to wait for our name to be called and our case to be heard.

Do yourselves a favor. Accept the gift...

If the god knows everything, then it already knows what you've done and why you did it. So what's up with the court case. You think the god needs or wants to hear a sinner's excuses?

But seriously, if the god wanted to be in control of things here, it would be. But as things stand now, it is not in control. Do you think that humans want or need to hear a god's excuses for not being in control?

It is the difference between a hearing and a sentence. Not only does the Judge know what sins you are guilty of, HE died paying for them. Then offered the exchange to the very people He will be judging that day, who didn't take the offer, and died with their sins intact.

The pharisees tried to catch Jesus in the same trap. They took an adulteress woman to Him. Would Jesus obey the Law < (justice) and condemn her? Or would He break the Law and to show her mercy?
His response was:
"He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”
He upheld the Law, showed her mercy, and forgave her sins on a cross, shortly thereafter.

God gave control of this earth to Adam. Adam gave it to Lucifer. The contract has an expiration date. Do you know how many Gentiles have been saved in the interim between Christ's return from the dead, and His next return? God will honor the contract and still end up with the earth and everything in it...
There are a whole lot of reasons why God just doesn't snap His fingers and put an end to Lucifer. We are actually the reason for a lot of them...

Yes, there is a reason why the god doesn't put a stop to its nemesis; seems quite obvious when you think about it. But if you don't like thinking about that, you're probably going to come up with excuses for the god's lack of authority and action.
