I find it interesting that someone said (who I totally don't remember right now) it would be cold instead of hot.

True hell, I think, would be living your greatest fears. Wouldn't that be miserable? Interestingly, I wonder, you could take a view of the Devil as the enemy of man (old testament) instead of the enemy of god (new testament).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00503400522084515874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1729289955062416774.post-58638078672385810422012-04-09T13:53:09.661-04:002012-04-09T13:53:09.661-04:00Well, darn you.

I may just do it now that you got that image in my head. It's been ages since I read Dante but I think I will dust my copy and dive once more in it.

All I know about hell is that it is a place void of our Heavenly Father and His love, a place of separation from Him, and not a place to want to find oneself. A burning lake of fire where those who find themselves will have an indestructible body that will burn for all eternity, is how it is described in the scriptures. Anybody wanta find themselves there? Not I, sister. Well, I am on my way to visit other bloggers. Best regards to you, my friend.

So I gave up in the end, plus I became scathing about how certain high profile people used it to shamelessly fluff their own egos.

Not another soul to be found anywhere.

I must replace that copy, with the cover design I loved, as they've been re-released with a far less impressive cover--to my mind.<br /><br />Amazing extract at the end there. Now why can't I write like that!? Sometimes I wonder why I bother? But ignore me. Just having 'one of those days' ;)Mark Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13002166292175980928noreply@blogger.com
