There is a line of Scripture that quoted from memorysays something to this effect, "The ways of God are ill-spoken of because of you."<br><br>The ill-speakers being the ones who portray the Lord God of whom Ap. John says, "God is love," as a sadistic head devil, - a veritable Saddam Hussein. There are some who interpret all of the Bible literally and these are the ones who are most likely to speak of literal fire torturing those in hell. There is spiritual fire, and God who is spirit, intends his word to be interpreted spiritually.<br>Let me propose that after death, hell is eternal separation from God, when a full comprehension of the enormous, incomprehensible love of God for mankind finally finds its mark - and it's too late to repent.
