It does not make me feel good to know that people will go to hell---hell is a place where there is nothing, nothing but the person and themselves, nothing but utter darkness.



Jude_1:13 They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.



I see that Christianity as a religion has deceived people by not presenting the teachings that Jesus gave to be perpetuated. No that is not true—we see that from the Scriptures that God does not want anyone to go to hell, he has put into effect a system whereby people can repent and be forgiven, thus preparing them to enter into his holy presence.John_3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.2Thess_2:10 and in every sort of evil that deceives those who are perishing.They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.2Peter_3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.It does not make me feel good to know that people will go to hell---hell is a place where there is nothing, nothing but the person and themselves, nothing but utter darkness.Jude_1:13 They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever.I see that Christianity as a religion has deceived people by not presenting the teachings that Jesus gave to be perpetuated.
