But you know the Orthodox Church (whose teachings haven't been changed since the day of Pentecost where the apostles received the holy spirit) has a very different view of hell. I know you're not interested but what's the harm right?
We believe that hell and heaven both have god in them (as you know . . . god is everywhere) The only difference is that those who love God will enjoy being with god and those who hate god won't be able to stand the presence of God and will therefore "gnash their teeth." That will be the greatest punishment possible.
Also we believe that if we pray for the dead, they will be forgiven and if they regret their hatred they will enjoy the same things as the faithful enjoy.
This idea sounds foreign right? Don't worry. As a matter of fact, this teaching has been unchanged since like 32/ 33 AD.
I could also provide my reasoning for why Jesus really existed in the middle east (holy or not) if anyone wants
So the greatest punishment possible is ... an eternity of bruxism?
Meh. Kind of an aggravation, I guess. But I'd rather go through an eternity of minor headaches and achy jaws than spend a second with Bible God.
