Hell is a real place, IMO, a place where the damned are separated from God for eternity, decomposed hulks left in the dark at the mercy of satan, with all hope gone. I can think of no worse place to spend forever...can you?

Actually they will not be at the mercy of satan, as satan will also be in torment along with his demon followers and the unsaved. There will be no lines of or ranks of authority.

Hell was originally created for Satan and his angels.

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: - Matthew 25:41

That the lake of fire was prepared for the devil and his angels does not mean that it wasn't also prepared for wicked humans.

Do you mean that he orginally created mankind good? If so, that's not what Rubi was talking about. Rubi and I were talking about God transforming all sinners into saints.

Merin,

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but are you suggesting that those cast into the the lake of fire will be refined?

um.. a friend of mine tells me he believes in an unconditional loving God, that all men will go to heaven despite how they live their lives.

If this were true, there was no reason for Jesus to come and die.

" Some folks believe, and some folks won't, but the story still ends the same, whether you do or whether you don't"

A quote from a song I heard. Pretty apt I thought. :noidea:

I've wondered along these lines, too. If Satan and his angels weren't around to tempt......

It's not time yet. :noidea:
