Let me say this real quick...these punishment or hell terms that gets tossed around by a lot of folks can be something that is lived out right here in the present moment.
In fact I've experienced hell on earth many days and now I'm seeing more of what heaven on earth is like.
It's tough to swallow at times how people choose to live. And they can tend to think everything is normal, as if that's the way it is or has to be. It's worth saying too that a person may not even know they have a choice or can choose a better position.
Praise God.

Ah, no, that's not what the Bible says. It says you will be tortured for eternity in a lake of fire. Unless you wish to posit that "eternal torture in a lake of fire" is a metaphor for "being sad." And I'm not buying that.

Thanks for the response gatorboymike.
That phrase for one relates the significance or tries to convey the idea of how life apart from God is hard, meaningless, troublesome, a struggle, etc.
Again our mind tends to want to see it every different way than what's being said.
We can all read the bible and not get it's true message. I'm still a learner.
On a general side note I saw the end of the Broncos game and Tim helped the team to a victory.

I thought it said fishing for eternity in a lake of fire,meaning the fish you catch would already be cooked,which is a good thing right.

Love him or hate him this thread has already received almost a thousand views,so I would say he has somewhat of a following.

Your logic in this instance is dead on, but you are wholly missing the point of Christianity. We do believe that non-believers will go to hell. The point, however, is that we Christians want everyone else to be Christians also. You said that we want you to go to hell. No, we don't. We want you to believe what we believe, and we want you to go to heaven.
I don't want to force you to believe what I believe, as I wouldn't want anyone to force their beliefs on me. I want you to make that decision on your own. If you choose to not make that decision, there's nothing I can do about it. I don't begrudge you for it. I pity you for it, but not in a sense of moral superiority. I pity you because you don't know what you're missing out on, and it makes me sad for you.
The Christian religion is about love, not hate. That is a fact.

Right on and exactly what's needed in someone unique stepping up to intrigue and attract towards Jesus.
I'm imagining now the great rewards of grasping Tebow sports cards in the process of hitting the 1,000,000 view mark.
I don't want to miss an open door from my Father.
