-====== All About Hell ======
-===== What is hell? =====
-The best explanation that I've heard for what hell is, comes from a [[https://youtu.be/FaZCPKF3qVA?si=fNnVdxzKeU7D1c-n|sermon]] by [[https://www.focusonthefamily.com/contributors/john-burke/|John Burke]], the author of //[[https://a.co/d/0QpalUc|Imagine Heaven]]//.
-In this sermon, Pastor Burke teaches that God created angels and before our universe. Angels were created to love and serve and therefore required free will since it's not possible to truly love without the capability of not loving and serving without choice is slavery, which a good and just God would not do. The most powerful and beautiful angel was Lucifer (light-bearer) who became prideful and thought he could rise above God. For the sin of pride, God cast Lucifer from Heaven. One third of the angels left heaven with him. Burke claims that choices made in eternity are eternal choices since there is no time there. Lucifer and his angels wanted to rule apart from God, but since God is everywhere, there was no place for them. So, God, in his love, created Hell, a place without God, for them to rule in.
-In order to teach the remaining two-thirds of angels in heaven not to rebel, he created our universe which contained a fraction of heaven and a fraction of hell. This allowed humans to experience both existences. He also gave us Jesus, so that we could repent at any time during our life here in time before we have to make the eternal choice of one or the other
