Hell does NOT exist in the bible?

My asking you questions is not designed to shut down the conversation, but to get you to think a little differently about what is being discussed.

Rasetsu wanted physical evidence.. But how is that possible if hell is not a physical place?

The idea here is to move beyond the limits she has placed on this conversation to perhaps take in the bigger picture. In that this universe is far greater and more diverse than what we can physically account for. So why limit what one can understand by what can physically be observed?

I get what you're saying, just pointing out that this line of reasoning also robs you of your authority to make any experiential claims about what hell would be like too, given that the only things we can perceive with any degree of objectivity come via our sensory apparatus and outside confirmation.

Effectively, agreeing with what you're saying places us in a position where nobody can talk about this subject at all, since none of us know anything about the place. And yet there you are, making declarative statements about hell.

...and that guy says I'm not a prophet. Dodgy

I'll give you an experimental claim: There's one and only one direct link between the OT and the NT concerning hell, which is where Jesus quotes Isaiah:

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

When the trash fires burned down, the locals discovered actual worms thriving in the ash; from that observation, they merely extended the simulation to encompass eternal fire and anthropomorphised eternal torment therein.

But as to the OP, to "make Christians question their beliefs easier" is even my prophet-like superpowers; however, I can contend that "hell is not in the Bible" in terms of Holy Spirit. Acceptance of Holy Spirit is being unable to give credence to evil, therefore, how can one infused with Holy Spirit proselytize hell?

Hell is a marketing scam that upon closer examination, disappears into its own navel. Oh! Verily I say unto you. Wink
