I didnt watch the video but hell isnt just fire, its being away from God.
Well Hell is just fire, whether you believe in Eternal Punishment or Annihilation, it’s still fire.
The separation from God euphemism doesn’t change that.
He does not ask for praise 24/7--He requires one to apply his will-24/7-- Because he is correct on all matters.
The hell he doesn't ask for praise. Read Revelation 4:8
8 And the four living creatures had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
He does ask for praise obviously, probably even commands it. Any why? Because he has an ego bigger than the universe, that's why. No, thank you. I don't need to waste my valuable time puffing up an egomaniac.
It's the whole being in mom's basement that smacked of another forum that you seem very familiar with.
Which one is that? C-D really is the only forum I post on. There is a podcaster I used to listen to a lot that uses the phrase. To my knowledge, though, he doesn't have a forum on his website.

But I digress. I just don't think a supreme God needs stroking. I'm only human and I don't need the stroking that many think God needs.
You're correct. He doesn't "NEED" anything. But he's worthy of praise.
Based on his track record of actually helping people down here he's not worthy of the time of day.
His mere existence means he's worthy of praise. He's not your cosmic bellhop just existing to serve you.
He is the ultimate being in the universe. A true narcissist is one that thumbs their nose at their creator and whines because he doesn't give them exactly what they want. That's up to you to decide if you want to be that person.

Yes he likes praise, but there is alot of symbolism in Revelation. Then 70-90 years is all you get--throwing away trillions x trillions x trillions etc of never ending years--Think about that. Is praise to much to ask of you? Without the life he handed you on a silver platter you have 0. If someone handed you 50,000 dollars free of charge, you would praise him. Yet is a drop in a bucket compared to eternal life.
YOUR BIBLE IGNORANT QUOTE: "And why is this guy pulling verses out of the Old Testament? The concept of Hell and eternal torment didn't make its appearance until the New Testament. After all, the Old Testament was essentially the covenant between Yahweh and the Hebrews - and Jews don't even believe in Hell. So what gives here?"
What gives here is the fact that anyone who follows Jesus the Christ has to be a Hebrew only, and the fact that Hell is mentioned within the Old Testament writings: “I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth.” (Ezekiel 31:16 KJV)
Shirina, your Bible ignorance is duly noted.

So's yours. "Hell" is not mentioned in the old testament. The verse you quote used Sheol, not hell.
Get thee into a Sunday school class.
