Do you believe in hell? [Spirituality & Religion]

So many people today don't believe in a literal place called Hell that burns with fire and brimstone (Revelation 21:8), where all who die in their sins without Jesus Christ go to be punished for all eternity.

You're mistaking Hell for the eternal Lake of fire.. They are different places..

Hell is a temporary prison for souls

The Lake of fire is the Eternal place of punishment for those souls who are currently in Hell..

Read the following scriptures of the final judgement you will see how it shows that Hell and the eternal lake of fire are not the same places..

[b]Revelation 20: KJV[/b]
11 "And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. {12} And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. {13} And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. {14} And death [b]and [u]hell[/u] were [u]cast into the lake of fire[/u][/b]. This is the second death. {15} And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

So Hell is going to be cast into the Lake of Fire at the end.. Therefore Hell cannot be the lake of fire..

And for the question:: Yes i believe Hell is real and i believe the eternal lake of fire is real..

@Adstar I don't see 'eternal place of punishment' in the text

@SW-User [9] And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
[10] The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
[11] And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Rev 14

@SW-User Anyone who read the Bible can see it.. Unless they are so determined not to see it that they clutch for straws trying to reinterpret plain texts to mean something other then what they really mean..

[b]Revelation 20: KJV[/b]
10 "And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever."
