Okay, here goes . . .

Based on whether or not you've accepted Christ, you will go to either heaven or hell. But there are two things that you must remember, particularly with hell. 1. Hell is temporary and 2. Not everyone will suffer the same in hell. Let me explain:

Hell is temporary:
Revelation 20:11-15 talks about the final "Great White Throne Judgment" Verse 12 has John observing the dead, both small and great. Now, there are a few different words for dead in the greek, and this one is the word Nekros, signifying a spiritual death and seperation from God (where we get teh english word Necromancy). These are in essence people that were in hell due to being seperated from Christ by not accepting him when they were alive. Verse 12 continues . . .
" . . . and the books were opened, and another book, which is the book of life and the dead were judged out of those things that were written in THE BOOKS, according to their works."
Verse 13: And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and hell delivered up the dead that were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
Verse 14: And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Verse 15: Amd whosoever was not found in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Understand this, judgment comes from a greek word Krino, which is translated in this scripture, "to pass a sentence". In short, the works listed in the books will determine just how much a person will suffer when in the lake of fire. In laymens terms, get the imagery, hell is a holding cell while you await sentencing. Hell is cast into the lake and so are those that were their, but their suffering is based on how bad the things were they did in life. Make sense?

"When purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable . . ."
