the purpose of hell. very simple. to keep you here at the earths core as long as possible so you won't make your way to heaven. that way you won't be able to re-create your body and start over. Hell is like a vaccum cleaner and it wants to suck up the souls when they leave the body.

Hell was invented in the ancient days by men of power who felt it was the only way to hold the masses of ignorant people under their power. It is the same today.

I believe that Hell was never meant to be a place for the human spirit. Rather a place for all the Angels that rebelled against God, to be separated from God.

"I had a near death experience in 1995. I was in a complete and total hell for 5 days. I was in the worse places and not just one ....more like many experiences all of them equally as terrifying"
"Many feel betrayed by religion. Many resent the endless banter on television talk shows about "the Light," all that warmth and love and joy exuded from those who seemed to have experienced heaven."
So read and learn and stop the lies about hell being made up to control people already. These encounters don't come from the bible or religion. They come from first hand experiences, many of them atheists. So it looks like religion was right all along. And notice the last quote about people feeling betrayed by religion. Gee, I thought religion made it plenty clear there was a hell. Seems more like people filtering out what they don't want to accept which is typical of modern watered down religion that keeps telling people that everybody is good and there is no such thing as sin.
The choices we make in life matters deeply.
Life is a golden opportunity to live a spiritual life in a world of darkness.
Life is very important because how we have lived our life largely determines how far we can go into the light.
