There are many different views of hell and its implications. This is the fourth of a series of threads I will be setting up on the following topics:
1. The history of the afterlife in the Old and New Testaments: Sheol, Gehenna, and Hades.
2. God's sovereignty, human free will, and hell
3. The Gospels' teachings on the afterlife
4. The apostles' writings on the afterlife
5. Final judgment and the prophets
What have the apostles written about heaven and hell? What picture does it give us?

Love is incompatible with eternal torture, for love and hate could never co-habitate.

Does there have to be a place where bad children are punished? Isn't that what "hell" is ... a place that is threatened against children if they behave badly?
Adults, obviously, have a better understanding of the Heaven/Hell dichotomy. After death ... there is dead. Heaven and Hell are figments of people's imaginations that serve to control others; like children.
I am just spelling what what God says about Himself. That's all.
Each religion has it's own version of "what God says about Himself". That's all.
