"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." - Albert Einstein
We continued with Jesus, holding His hand even tighter. We came to a section that really made an impression on me. We saw a young man, 23 years old, suspended waist-high in the middle of a fire. We couldn't see exactly what his torment was, but the number 666 was engraved on him. He also had a metal plate on his chest that read, "I am here for being normal." When he saw Jesus, he extended his hand towards Jesus begging for mercy. The Word of God says in Proverbs 14:12 "There is a way that seems right to a person, but its end is the way of death."
When we read the plate that said "I am here for being normal", we asked the Lord, "Lord, how come!? Is this possible that a person can come to this place for this reason?" Then Jesus asked him, "Andrew, why are you here in this place?" He answer, "Jesus, when I was on Earth, I thought that just killing and stealing were sins, and that is why I never tried to get close to you." In Psalms 9:17 is says "The wicked shall be turned into Hell, all the heathen that forget God."
Andrew made a big mistake by classifying sins, like many people do today. The Bible is very clear when it says that the wages of the sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life. (Romans 6:23) Further, when the Bible talks about sin, it never classifies sins, because all of them are just sins. Andrew had the chance to know and accept Jesus but he didn't take the opportunity that God had given to him. Maybe he had a thousand opportunities to know the Lord, but he never wanted to know Him and that was the reason he was there. Then a big blanket of fire covered his body and we never saw him again.

Another post about hell?
Man what is your obsession with hell?
Realize the only people that experience this Hell you continuously post about are religious people who have been scared into believing this place exists.
A loving God would not subject his children to such a place
edit on 7-11-2011 by Akragon because: (no reason given)
23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I've heard that God is love but God is also wrath.
He's the one who hears the cries of infants being sliced and diced in all the abortions clinics. He took his time make those souls and bodies only for somebody else to come and tear away at it. He holds wrath for all the evils done. In his mercy he brought somebody to pay our ransom, but if the ransom is not accepted, then nobody pays and we must pay ourselves.

Oh man... I can't wait to laugh at you when we are both chilling in the afterlife, far away from any fictional "hell".

This guy was a former atheist who didn't believe in any of these kind of things, but the experience he had after he found himself out of his body changed his world view.
In other interviews he gives more detail about what happened to him.
Among those millions and millions of people, the Lord allowed us to focus on one man whose body was half-way submerged in the lake of fire. The Lord let us understand and know his thoughts. The name of that man was Mark. We were amazed by the things this man said to himself, in his thoughts. We learned an eternal lesson when we heard the following thoughts, "I would give anything to be in your place now! I would give anything to go back to the earth just for one minute. I wouldn't care if I were the most miserable, most sick, most hated, or the poorest man in the world, I would give anything to go back! Just for one minute on the earth." The Lord Jesus was holding my hand. Jesus replied to Mark's thoughts saying, "Mark, why would you like to come back to the earth even for just one single minute?" With a crying and tormented voice, he told Jesus, "Lord! I would give anything to go back to the earth just for one single minute simply to repent and be saved."
