I'm confused on what the exact definiton of Hell is.
I've heard a few different descriptions of it.
But my biggest question would be why would God who shows forgiveness sentence a soul to an eternity of damnation to toil in fire? why not destroy the soul.
Now I'm not saying that what was typed above as the correct definition od hell, just that I have been hit with a few questions and most seem to be centered around the above example.
I have always thought that the definition of Hell is the seperation of a soul and God.
How far astray am I going?
edit: I looked for a Hell thread, but did not find a specific one, and if there is one could you merge this thread?
