Would you be surprised if earth was actually hell and we are paying for our sins for having to live here?

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

Yes, oh my goodness 😱

No, this would make sense actually 🧐

[Guy13]

Your question-statement makes for great Fiction or Film, however, it is not Biblical. It’s more accurate that Earth is a testing ground where God will review what we did with the gifts He gave us. If you are In Christ Jesus then your heavenly rewards will be sum totaled from your earthly Faith and Works.
GOTO. Heaven and Hell question. It’s better laid out there in my posting.

[MCheetah]

No. That would be the most logical thing I can think of. Humanity is too stupid of a species to have survived this long.

[Amy10223]

I have actually thought about that, believe it or not. And do you know about apocalyptic “Rapture” that’s supposed to happen according to some Christians, where Jesus comes to get those good people He wants and leaves the rest behind? I’m not sure I believe in that idea, but I sometimes wonder if it’s already happened, and we are what’s left in the world. Some way of thinking!

[TrueConfection]

Yes, that would be a big surprise because that's not what the bible tells us. It would also be a huge relief for anyone destined for hell.

[behnam1999]

If we say hell is a place of torment altogether, then Earth is not hell. Because we also have positive experiences, we feel happy, we have good times and bad times. So Earth is not hell. There is no happiness in hell, no hope, no progress, nothing. There's only sorrow, grief, depression and other torments!!

[BCRanger10]

Quite! Because if what the Bible says is true, God made the Earth and called it "good". There's that and also the fact that it runs contrary to what religion ideally is about. By that, I mean that many religions believe that one is judged on account of what they do on Earth, rather than the Earth itself being the place of purgation or judgment.

[Jamie05rhs]

Earth isn't Heaven or Hell. Earth is the neutral place. Earth is the battleground between the dark forces and the forces of Light. That is why there is so much good alongside of so much bad. It's a constant conflict. Human beings, while on Earth, have a choice to decide which side they will take. Many humans fight for good, while others fight for bad. (Those who fight for bad often do so unwittingly, because they are only following their own selfish interests.)

[NamerOfStars]

As someone trying to deal with the world of finance for the first time, having been thrust into a lousy situation by a series of terrible breakdowns in basic human decency, that wouldn't surprise me one bit.

[Anonymous]

Yes, because I consider hell to be the absence of God. Look around at all the wondrous things God has created. How could anyone EVER mistake that for hell. God ALLOWS Satan's influence over this plain of existence. And it is our duty to not allow him to decieve us with his lies and tricks.

[Daniela1982]

If you really were in hell you would consider your life on Earth as a picnic in Antartica.

[MCheetah]

Speaking of Antarctica You DO know there's a frozen lake of fecal matter the size of the entire planet in the ninth circle of Hell, right?

Also, if you're really doomed for eternity, you'd get used to it pretty quickly. Dangling hope in one's face is the real torture... You know, like real life tends to be for most people on this planet.

[Daniela1982]

@MCheetah You would get used to being alone for eternity?

[MCheetah]

@Daniela1982
Many men in today's society already have... For the crime of being born unattractive.

[Daniela1982]

@MCheetah You still get to interact with people so you are not really alone.

[MCheetah]

@Daniela1982
That just makes it worse. Seeing women in the summer is like dangling hot food in front of a starving creature that's tied up. Why do you think SO MANY MEN watch porn in today's day in era? (Even if I'm not one of them.)

Like I said, holding out hope in front of someone is way worse than just telling them they're doomed from the get-go.

[Agape93]

Imagine that shitty deal. You go to hell, and are still force-fed the same shit about going to hell lol

[Snsl153]

That wouldn't surprise me at all. Do you have any inside information on this?

[Flower7]

It would make sense, but I would be surprised by it also. Interesting idea.

[Anonymous]

NO

cause atheist go inside the snake that circles the earth to be tortured
the snake will be in the video

[Anonymous]

It very well could be. And as far as that goes, how do we know we're all just not dreaming?

[zagor]

That is not far from the concept of karma and reincarnation.

[NathanDavis]

then G@G might be the gates of it...

[Chiarac2003]

That’s a cute concept🎀😬

[jshm2]

Hell is eternal, Earth is not, kiddo!

[JoyGirl]

lmao 😂

[just_a_potato]

I'd believe it 🤣

[strateguy632]

false

[driven159]

we make our own hell
