That Day will come as a trap on all the world

EDIT: I think I broke the forum... .quote tags aren't working here...
EDIT2: Fixed! Damn wrong closing quote tag at the end...

1. Define "hell".

2. Explain "hell breaking loose".... I'm guessing that it may come with the answer to 1.

3. How do you know such an event is happening "soon"?

4. Thus far, all similar guesses at god-induced worldwide cataclysms have been duds. Why should I (we) heed your guess? And what a guess it is! "soon"... That word was written 2000 years ago and it's still the same one...

Good (and quite funny) questions.

Thanks for answering them.
I always aim for a bit of humor (humour) on my posts.... it often goes unnoticed, though...

1. Supposedly Hell, according to Christian belief, is mostly an eternal seperation from God. No one alive knows exactly what it is like though so it's hard to say accurately (its rather mind blowing some Christians can talk about it as if they know exactly what its like).

So, it's one of those things that require belief.
What happens if a person doesn't share the christian belief? No hell? Separation from god? why would a non-believer care about that?

2. I've only ever heard that phrase used as an idiom. If it has a literal description, then it is beyond me.

Let's wait for someone who has heard it, then!

3. Long story short, no one knows. Short story long, I'm getting rather tired (and embarassed) of Christians who think they can predict and know for sure when it will happen when Jesus himself said that even He doesn't know the time!

Indeed...
Not even Gandalf knew he'd become white if he battled the Balrog.

4. Personally, I think you should ignore any and all Christians who ever predicts the exact time the world will end. It'll be very obvious for everyone if and when it happens, I'm sure.

(my bolding)
That's a mighty big 'if'!

I hope I answered your questions appropriately.

You did... but your level of delusion isn't quite as high as those I was hoping would answer...
