Terri, this is the first time I’ve seen an image like this. It is difficult to think about. Jesus warned of hell many times. This was an act of love to warn about this. You did too.
Thanks Maria!! It’s not a popular, uplifting or inspiring topic but it is one that needs to be brought to light occasionally to remind people that it is there and it ain’t pretty!! hugs…
Well I think its horrendous that the main weapon Christianity has to get people to believe is that if you don’t you’ll burn for eternity.
Robert, thank you for sharing your thoughts and I’m sorry that is the impression that you got from what I wrote. As a Christian, I believe that hell is a reality. I’m not a Christian because I’m afraid not to be one! I do fear hell but, like any child learns from discipline, I believe it is a guiding stick used to keep us on the path and not a whip to beat us into submission with. I guess it all depends on how you want to look at it. I find to remind people of it’s existence to be a loving act and not a brow beating that I’m serving up. That’s my thoughts anyway. Thanks again for your comment though!! Blessings, Terri
