I don't believe in Hell

At my bible study class today we were doing ch. 15 of the book of Mark...the crusifixtion and resurection of Jesus. I made the comment that I am on this site and how people are amazed that I don't believe in Hell. I asked my minister if Hell exsists. She said "no". She said there is Hell on earth but that Jesus died for all of our sins that is what is so wonderful about the love of Jesus Christ. They all laughed when I said that there were a bunch of fundalmentalists on this site who thought that the United Church of Canada was some werid cult or something...thanks for reading this...God Bless.

She, your minister is right.
Hellw as described as the refuge pits that alwsys acompyanied the cities of the old days. Sick people lived there on the fringes of soceity and that was what the ancient hebrews drew on to describe hell.
Only during the dark ages did the church move to make hell a tool they used for mind control of the masses way back when.
I have lived in hell on earth. I will never go back there.
Hell doesnt exist. You are right.

I'm really not sure if there is one or not.Not really worried about it.If it is worse than here ....wow it will be bad.Maybe being trapped in this broken mind is my hell and I have already been here before and been condemned and this is my punishment.I don't know what i did but I hope it was worth it.LOL

I believe in heaven and hell, but that they are places of our own making here on earth. I also believe in good and evil and that they exist on earth. I don't accept that anything happens after death except nothing. I think everyone should believe as they wish. I do.

yeah I thought this was really cool...always wondered why they never talked about Hell or personal salvation in my church.

You're right matt that's exactly what she said...that hell was a garbage dump in old Jewish times

May I ask what faith you belong to and what translation of the Bible you are using in your study?

All I know is to stick close to the middle way, since I have little choice in what happens outside of myself or to myself in the hereafter. All I have is now.

I belong to the United Church of Canada. It is a mixture of all the methodists in Canada some of the Presbytians and some Baptist. It was formed around 1917. It strove to unite all religions in Canada hence the name "United". My grandparents were instrumental in setting it up. I use the Harper Collins Study Bible which is a version of the King James Bible and my minister is a Presbryterian thelogian with a PhD in Thelogy. She also was an English teacher at one time. She has been a minister for some 25 years now and is soon to retire.

I don't believe in Heaven or Hell. My higher power is not vengeful and would NEVER send me to a place of worse suffering than I already had. And I don't believe in Heaven because I believe the universal Creator wants me to be enveloped into his essence and be at peace finally.
peace, teresa

I strongly believe in the King James version because that's what I was schooled in at Bible College.

When I move on to the next realm and if there is a hell I'll come back and let you know if I can. For now I believe I'm living in HELL right now. If I die and find I go to another hell it can't get any worse then this. At least I can't imagine.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
