Why Hell cannot exist.

So your bones and flesh are supposed to burn for eternity, right? Well, the temperatures/matter of Hell would eventually balance out in the energy's/matter's natural search for equilibrium. If it is a place you can go to, would the confines be bound by this? The thought came to me while reading another thread stating something like,"the Universe could not be ageless because it would have reached of state of equilibrium" and reading a Stephen King novel afterwards. Could you burn forever if eventually the temperatures/matter reach equilibrium, and you're atoms are evenly dispersed throughout the universe?

You burn for eternity, but shouldn't equilibrium come before that?

How can Hell exist if you cannot physically burn for eternity.

The only two possible answers are:

The afterlife is not bound by this.
Or
Hell doesn't exist.

How people can still beleive in hell is kinda funny.
Millions and millions still believe in hell. Why are we so "inteligent" and so dumb at the same time?

Because children are very gullible to what older people say, and when they're parents and the priest tells them how if they're bad od will send them to Hell it tends to become hardwired into their brains.

Maybe I'm one of the uneducated ones... but I know there is a hell... and it isn't a pit of fire that burns your body and bones for all eternity. When your dead your body stays in this plane your spirit goes to the next. A spirit can't catch on fire. It can't burn. So, the hell of fire, your referring to can't exist.

Hell is you being trapped in your own petty faults and sins, and you determine what your hell will be like. I believe that only the truly evil go to hell and go for eternity. The rest go to what the catholics refer to as purgatory. This is like hell but it's to teach our spirit what we couldn't learn on earth. What this is changes per person, so no solid explanation can ever be given.

Heaven, too is a personal experience, and is whatever you would be the most happy and joyful in. One person's hell can be another persons heaven.

So, you say that hell can't exist, eh? Try livin' in my house when my wife get's mad. And she's like all yellin' and stuff. I swear she get's one eyebrow when she gets mad. Yep, hell does exist!

If god is all forgiving, why would he send us to hell to burn.

how can there be a hell if there is a heaven? how can ANYONE enjoy eternal paradise when they know people who are suffering eternally?

lol Heres a snag in the ass for Literal bible believers out there,

Heaven is actually hotter than hell..

Hell which is filled with fire and brimstone which heats up to amazing temperatures , however heaven which is described as being brighter than 7 suns and since the sun burns at millions of degrees multiply that you 7 and you got the temperature for heaven!

Hell is out there. For the bible talks about it.

For the gates to hell are wide and open.

Could you give the Bible references for heaven being 7 times brighter(indicating heat) than the sun?

A reason it can't... Luke 3:6 "ALL flesh shall see the Salvation of God"... "Hell" is a fairy tale installed into "doctrine" as a method of control through fear. It's really that simple.

People in hell realize they were wrong about Jesus being the Savior, but they're still in hell.

So Jesus was just telling a fairy tale in order to create control through fear?

"There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.

"The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'

"But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'

"He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my father's house, for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' "Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.' " 'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.' "He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.' "

(Luke 16:19-31)

"He committed no sin,
and no deceit was found in his mouth."

(1 Peter 2:22 quoting Isaiah 53:9)

If there was no deceit in His mouth, what on earth was Christ talking about regarding the Rich Man and Lazarus?

I can see where you could construe the scripture to mean that.

I don't believe Jesus was the originator of it, so, your question is really a moot point to me.

This "hell" thing, sure, it might be that there is a form of punishment in the afterlife. However, if there is, I seriously doubt that many will be absolved of all they've done.... If there is a hell, most of the people that proclaim that someone is going there should be well aware that they are going to be right there with whoever they are condemning... "Do not judge lest ye be judged..." Everyone is so quick to forget that one...

I don't know that "fairy tale" would be correct nomenclature. Personally, I prefer the term "parable".

Then that leads one to ask, how do you establish what is true in scripture and what is false?
