quotations about Hell
Hell's foundations quiver
At the shout of praise;
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise.
SABINE BARING-GOULD
Onward
It's only a popular myth that Hell doesn't exist. And it's also cruel not to believe in Hell. For isn't it cruel to tell skaters on thin ice that there's no water under the ice and that they can't possibly drown?
PETER KREEFT
Because God Is Real
If hell doesn't exist, nothing exists. And hell must not only exist, it must also be completely cut off from the upper regions. There must be barbed-wire fences and flames and spires of broken glass and high-voltage electric wires and watertight compartments and a void without atmosphere or pressure and the maelstrom of a black hole that swallows all who try to escape from it. My mother and father wouldn't be able to stand being in the same place as you; they should be exempted even from imagining that you still exist somewhere in the universe. And therefore it's imperative that there should be all those barriers between what's above and what's below.

Answer Me
The ultimate tragedy is that all those who end in Hell will have chosen it. Instead of accepting that we are all sinners in need of the salvation of Jesus Christ, their pride condemns them to spiritual death. In the end, someone must be god of our lives. If we insist on being our own god, we shall succeed, but at the cost of an eternity in Hell.
GRANT R. JEFFREY
Heaven: The Mystery of Angels
At the end of the world ... the angels will come and separate the wicked people from the righteous, throwing the wicked into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
BIBLE
Matthew 13:49-50
Hell was created not for mankind, but for Satan and his angels.... Hell is not God's intention for mankind. But remember--he gave us free will. He gave us a choice.
JOHN ELDREDGE
Epic
Hell doesn't exist. It is a creation by traditions of men and a misunderstanding of the Scriptures.
LEIF A. WERNER
Are You Lied to About the Bible
Hell's darkness is the very absence of God's living, illuminating light.
STEVE YATES
Hell Is Real
Be warned, therefore, that one does not go to hell to light a cigarette.
ROGER ZELAZNY
This Immortal
Heaven is empty, Hell is full.
ASFAW BERHANE
Heaven Is Empty Hell Is Full
Not believing in hell doesn't lower the temperature down there one degree.
NEIL T. ANDERSON
Victory Over the Darkness
The safest road to Hell is the gradual one -- the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.
C. S. LEWIS
The Screwtape Letters
The devil deceives people into believing that hell doesn't exist, or if it does exist then only serial killers and child molesters will go there--certainly none of us. Wrong! One of Satan's best deceptions is getting people to believe that they are good, or that a compassionate, loving God would never send anyone to hell for all eternity. Having bought the devil's lie, most post-modernists and liberals within Christianity don't believe in the real existence of hell anymore. How often these days do you hear someone preaching about it? Hardly ever. This would offend their congregation too much and hurt their collection plate. Even the well-respected Billy Graham is afraid to teach that hell is everlasting fire and eternal torment. Billy prefers to call hell an "eternal separation from God," which probably sounds like heaven to atheists. With all due respect, Mr. Graham, the torments of hell are real and for all eternity. Not figuratively, as liberals and unbelievers contend, but literally. Jesus spoke about the literal existence of hell more than any other topic in the New Testament. That's why it's so important that we take hell seriously and do everything we can to avoid going there.
DAVID MICHAEL LINDSEY
The Woman and the Dragon
Hell is other people.
JEAN-PAUL SARTRE
No Exit
Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels.
BIBLE
Matthew 25:41
Hell is nothing else but the perversion into evil of the good that proceeds from the Lord.
EMANUEL SWEDENBORG
Arcana Caelestia
The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
KARL MARX
Capital
If hell doesn't exist, then neither does justice.
ANONYMOUS
The Living Church, vol. 130
To every man is given the key to the gates of heaven; the same key opens the gates of hell.
BUDDHIST PROVERB
And some are fall'n, to disobedience fall'n,
And so from Heav'n to deepest Hell; O fall
From what high state of bliss into what woe!
JOHN MILTON
Paradise Lost
