Hell is best defined as the conscious separation from God / by kevin murray

None of us are automatons, for each of us has been granted by God in perpetuity, free will.  Because we have that free will we are all truly the captains of our own fate, and therefore it is our responsibility as to what we make of ourselves, and further that this burden cannot ever be successfully laid at the feet of anyone else, no matter how much we might wish that this be so.  Those that express dissatisfaction or unhappiness in their own lives, need only to take a very careful look and to make an honest in-depth review of who and what they really are, of which, a typical forthright appraisal would be that it is our willfulness in permitting our own misguided selfish desires to rule us, that has created the hurt that we so often are experiencing, and will continue to experience until we change.

 

So many people only want things their way, never seeming to recognize that if everybody or near everybody were to have the same sort of mindset, that only a world of chaos and misery would be the continual outcome of such.  That is to say, if everyone is in it for their own self, then it is thereby inevitable that this will be a world in which a very few will win at, and the bulk of the people will lose at; for finite resources matched up against unlimited desires, invariably necessitates a dog-eat-dog mentality, and thereby corruption in nearly every facet of life.

 

Further, if all there ever will be is the material aspect of our earthly existence, and none else; there isn't going to be any positive result that could conceivably be achieved, here on earth, ever.  The main reason why this is so, is because those that have erased God from their minds, recognize that every construct so created, is thereby, in essence, a manmade concept, so that therefore it logically follows that there is then no definitive good nor a definitive evil, but simply everything is in shades of gray; or for those that are complete cynics, everything is thereby permitted, without limits, only restrained somewhat by changeable manmade law.

 

In order for any life to have meaning, there must be, all things considered, some sort of Master of Ceremonies that thereby watches and sees everything, always.  Further, this entity has to always be just, fair, consistent, and wise; in addition to being without any possibility of error or subject to being compromised.  All those that are errant children or lovers of shortcuts and things of that sort, aren't going to be thrilled that all that they do and say, is recorded into the skeins of time, but so it is.   Because so many people believe that they are getting away with something, when in reality, they never are, this leads to countless broken hearts and poorly lived lives.  All of this wrong thinking, misdirection, and bad acts, that are conceived in the false belief, that nobody will be the wiser, are fundamental errors that must inevitably be answered to. 

 

Those that warn others that they will go to hell because of their actions, are only half right, for those that consciously separate themselves from God are already in a hell of their own volition, and further it is a hell that they can never extricate themselves from; until they finally wake up from the delusion that separation from God brings peace, when all it does is to bring forth every conceivable type of war.
