l. I then asked, What is your delight? And they replied that it was the delight of committing adultery, stealing, defrauding and telling lies. Again I asked, What are these delights like? They replied, They are perceived by others as offensive odours from excrement, and as the putrid smell from dead bodies, and as the reeking stench from stagnant urine pools. I then said, Are they delightful to you? And they replied, They are most delightful. I said, Then you are like unclean beasts that live in such filth. To this they replied, If we are, we are; nevertheless, such things are a delight to our nostrils.
That is not coming from the bible but I am not aware what the Swedenborg Divine Providence is.
Because I try to live an honest life that includes helping others and not defrauding or committing adultery, I don't have to worry about going anywhere that smells like excrement. Hooray! Actually, I am a very shy, quiet person who straightens up her own hotel room so room service doesn't have too much work to do. LOL My hell might be a very friendly place without too many people asking me to be the center of attention.
I am very new here so I forgive me for asking but what denomination of Christian are you? How does what you just quoted apply to your idea of hell and do you mind using your own words to explain?
