I guess there is a part of me that wants to think that hell is not for eternity. I do believe there is hell because Jesus teaches it. because people are so easily deceived by the devil it somehow feels like the odds are stacked against them and at the same time I know that God is just. The hard part is that we do not have the whole picture. as the Bible says we now see thru a glass darkly. it was interesting to read all of the different answers. I know a lot of people struggle with the thought of the horror of hell and do not want loved ones to go there. corrolla
