Hi Tyler, May I suggest for consideration that people do to some great extent become or consist of what they spend most of their time on. If it is pain they will become pained. If it is lying, cheating, stealing, they will become lying, cheating, thieves. But; if a person spends time seeking out just the word love, just that one word everywhere it is found in the Bible that too will become what the person is, and that person will share love of God abundantly, and have no time for what is counterfeit, counter productive, and disruptive of the mind and spirit. Seek love - find love - share love - be love, just as God is Love and is beloved by His own. "God Is Love Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us." A beginning of the search for love throughout the Bible, to rejoice in and share and become.

Suffering isn't a high. I imagine the greatest suffering will be how close unbelievers were to eternal salvation but they rejected it. And all the riches in the world were not required. Just simple faith. Ever live down a bad decision? Can eat you alive if you allow it. Huh. No, there will be no nerves going to sleep (like burn victims) or endorphins to quell pain (the high you mentioned) torment will be the greatest suffering.

He was in sheol. In any case, it's a parable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
