Suffering of hell: How bad is “gnashing your teeth”?
The pain of hell that people go through in their bodies during the time they live in this world can be divided into three types. First, there is suffering of hell one goes through in which they get physical illness or injury to the body. Second, there is the pain of hell in which a person’s heart feels bone-wrenching pain due to worries or anxieties. Third, there is the pain of hell one goes through because their spirits visit hell and remain in that domain while they’re physically still alive.
Jesus spoke about people who go through this kind of pain and suffering. Imagine him saying this to you, “They are experiencing the pain and suffering of hell. Even after experiencing hell, why would you still take it easy and not work with all your life and end up going to hell where the pain and suffering is billions of times worst? The reason you went through that kind of suffering in the past is so that you would come to your senses. If you forget that, don’t listen to my words, and don’t do your responsibilities, you will eventually go to the eternal hell. Since you have experienced the pain during the time you lived in the world, you must not forget that but live diligently and righteously using it as a mirror.”
