thoughts on Hell

My thoughts on Hell, this is more of me coming to peace on the subject than a apologetic on the matter. In truth this is a really hard subject for me to handle and will most likely have to revisit this subject time and time again. Hell is real no doubt about it. When I first got Saved I received a dream of complete darkness and horrible screams that i can still hear, even though i was only seven years old when i had had the dream. This dream scared me to the core of my being and has caused me a lot of pain and fights with the Lord. during most of my life i had repeated fights with the Lord about Hell. I even hated God for even letting such a place to exist. I refused to serve Him (even though i had a calling on my life) and would ignore Him. One night i was fighting with God about Hell and He spoke to me very simply and loving way. He said " Zane I am the only one who is doing anything about hell" . This very word has changed my life. I realize now more and more that Jesus came to Save because we needed to be saved. You may want to rationalize that Hell is not real because the thought is so painful to even think that there are people right now in there. Or how could a God of Love ever allow such a place to exist. Well it exists cause it was meant for the Devil. How could a God of Love not choose to stop and punish a creature who persecutes the whole earth without cause or reason. I am sorry but the Devil had it coming. The question that comes to my mind all the time is why if i am so mad at God don't try to save more people. I realize that in my attempt to act like Hell does not exist means i become a greater advocate for Hell. Jesus Love incarnate spoke on Hell more than anyone else He taught it in graphic detail (see Luke 16:24-31) and did not try to persuade people to act like it was not real. He even went so far as to say mutilate your very own body to avoid such a place. I do not share about this to cause a guilt trip or to make everyone all sad all the time, but if my Jesus thought this was an important thing to consider than i will too. My encouragement to you all, to spend a little time to consider
