Think of the hottest day that you can remember.
Do you know how hot it is in hell?
“There was a rich man
who was dressed in purple and fine linen
and lived in luxury every day.
At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus,
covered with sores and longing to eat
what fell from the rich man's table.
Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
The time came when the beggar died
and the angels carried him to Abraham's side.
The rich man also died and was buried.
In hell, where he [the rich man] was in torment,
he looked up and saw Abraham far away,
with Lazarus by his side.
So he called to him, 'Father Abraham,
have pity on me and send Lazarus
to dip the tip of his finger
in water and cool my tongue,
because I am in agony in this fire.'”
- Luke 16:19-24 NIV
Believe me, you don’t ever want to find out.
