•WHAT KIND OF LOVING GOD WOULD SEND PEOPLE TO HELL?

What type of God would send people to hell? What type of God would force people who don't want to spend time with him temporarily, to spend time with him eternally? I have a better question. What type of God would force people who don't want to spend time with him temporarily, to spend time with him eternally? And I have even better question. When are Christians going to educate themselves about the word hell? When are y'all going to study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, but rightly dividing the word of truth? Because for the millionth time, hell is not a place of eternal torment. The Bible does not contain one original word that simply means hell. English translations combine one, two, three, four words with four different meanings. Word number one is Sheol. It was never, ever defined or understood as a place of fiery eternal punishment. It refers to the grave or the realm of the dead. Word number two is Hades. That's a Greek word. And like Sheol, it refers to the underworld or the realm of the dead. Number three is Gehenna. And it refers to the Valley of Hinnom just outside of Jerusalem, because of the horrendous acts that were done there. And the fourth word is Tartarus. This one appears only one time in the Bible. And that's in the book of Second Peter. It's not a place where dead human beings are eternally tormented. You're welcome.
