Beings on the earth, have been known to adapt to their environment no matter what.......
Certain ocean dwelling reptiles have turned into amphibians and adapted to land...There is known bacteria, viruses, or microbials that have adapted to extreme deep ocean freezing temperatures, and maybe volcanoes....What if after, say 100 trillion years of being in hell because you wouldn't be friends with jesus, you suddenly adapt to the extreme heat of hell, and hell becomes a comfortable and pleasurable place because you body adapted?

I take it that you have actively chosen to go to hell to open you question with the statements that you are going there when you die. That is the only way to know for sure if you are going there when you die. However, if this is not the case and you just think you are, there is still hope. All you have to do is try your best to do the right thing in everything you do according to your knowledge of good and evil. Besides all that, if you are just bent on going there that is your choice. To answer the question, I don't believe there will be any adaption to your torments, especially to the point of being comfortable. You must realise that the rules of nature that apply in this world will not apply in hell. It was created by God to be a place of torments, and I'm sure there will be no getting use to anything. As to time it won't exist in hell. Years are only used to get use to have something to relate with eternity. The actual concept of eternity was explained to me by a theologian as "everything all at once." We will not understand it until we experience it, because the only reality we've ever know is based off time. I advise you to turn from the path you've chosen, and come back to God.

Beloved, one cannot adapt to nothing, but if one wants out of death (Adam) they need only seek life (Jesus). Love - D



"There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham’s bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence." (Luke 16:19-26)

Such adaptations of which you speak happen over millenia not in a single organism but over generations in the life of species, so if there is a Hell adaptation will not help you. Unless you die as a fire-breathing dragon lol

You haven't the foggiest notion of what hell is about. Let me clue you in.



First, the Bible says that ALL good things come from God.

Second, hell is the total, final, and absolute absence of God's Presence.

Therefore hell is the absence of anything good. If you think it's good, it won't be there.



Here are a few things I consider good that won't be in hell, and I'm sure you can add to the list.



- Light is good. Jesus said that hell is "outer darkness, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth." There will be absolutely no light in hell!

- Friends, family and loved ones are good to have around, you will be in complete solitary confinement with NO body there to be with you.

- Love is good - there will be no love in hell.

- Freedom is good, and so is freedom from pain. They won't be there.



The one that always comes to MY mind is a little thing I like to call "hope"! Hope is VERY good in a bad place. Guess what ... ! Can you even imagine living for all eternity with absolutely no hope?



Well, God does NOT want this for you, so He provided a way of escape and freedom. Jesus said "Who ever commits sin is a slave to sin; but whom the Son sets free shall truly be free indeed."



He said He doesn't want ANY to go to hell, but that ALL should perish. He even cried out, "Please choose Life, that you may live!" (Jesus said "I am Life!")



It takes a unanimous decision for a person to get into heaven. God has already voted for you for heaven, He has provided a way for you to get there, and all the angels rejoice when even one soul is saved.



No the deciding vote is yours. You can choose to follow Jesus to heaven, or you can choose to follow your sins to hell. I know you don't specifically choose hell, but you DO choose that path.



There are two paths, and like I said, you get to choose to be on the path following Jesus, or you get to choose to be on the path of sin. But like any hiker will tell you, you can choose the path, but you have no control over the destination of that path!



Choose Life; choose Jesus ... or choose sin, and hell. YOUR choice, and nobody else's. YOU are responsible, and you have no one to blame but yourself if you reject His offer to rescue you from your sins, from the power Sin has over you, and from the eternal destiny of sin!

Well, I'm not religious... But if bad people like bad things then maybe they would like hell? I guess it woukd have to be different for everyone to be true hell for each individual.

When you die, you'll either be buried in the earth or cremated and have your ashes spread somewhere.



But let's say there is a hell...I suppose it would be quite warm, kind of like a warm hot tub on a cold winter night.

Well this actually proves there is no hell. Because according to Christians Hell is horrible to anyone not because of the heat or flame, but because of the absence of God. Same with heaven except God is there. I don't believe this bull s*h*i*t.

Hell is just the end result of our current global warming crisis so yes you can adapt.
2012-05-09 02:03:37 UTC
Nope. Think about getting burnt, that hurt so badly.



Replaying that moment for eternity. That would suck.
