...I realized is the worst thing you can say to a person. It's probably worse than any of the four-letter or the B words.
Pastor Joshua Jung (Jung Myung Seok) told us what Hell was like yesterday. He said that the suffering is so great that you wouldn't even want the people you hate most to go through that type of suffering. And so, we must forgive our brothers endlessly. He went further to explain what Hell is really like. Before, he had told us what Heaven is like but I think teaching about Hell is probably more effective to motivate people to forgive and love one another. Sad, but so true because after learning about Hell, I wanted to forgive those who I never thought about forgiving.
He said that if you've been to Hell, you will see the urgency to save as many people as possible. And of course, work hard to go to Heaven.
Man, so telling someone to go to hell is basically saying that I more than despise you. The irony of this is that the person who says "Go to Hell!" will be the one going to hell. Hmmmmm...

"To enter the Kingdom of Heaven, you must walk through Hell."
I've got it made, then, because I've been in "living hell" for years now.
I think the true hell is here, in the World of Struggle. On the other side of the veil, the World of Harmony, balance is restored.
And I like what you said Withinrefuge. It's true. By inspiration from one of Pastor Joshua's messages, I came up with a proverb of my own, "Physical hell will bring about spiritual heaven." This means that we must struggle with our physical temptations and struggles to be able to better ourselves to God's standards. Like, controlling anger, laziness, greed and the like.
