“…the sight of hell torments will exalt the happiness of the saints forever…”

Reminds me of what the Jehovah’s Witnesses teach. There books are filled with pictures of god killing off evil humanity while hordes of smiling JW’s look on approvingly. I wonder if Pastor Russell was a Puritan at heart?

MY OBSERVATION:

Mark, this warms an old man’s heart!

I am ALWAYS using the wrong example or the wrong name for a perfectly good point.

Your point is valid. The fact is that Jehovah’s Witnesses are the one major serious Christian group that DENIES the existence of Hell. Sinners will be destroyed, thrown into Sheol, which, as they point out, was a garbage dump. They will not be tortured forever the way “Christians” salavate over.

The pictures are of Jehovah DESTROYING sinners. Apparently Pastor Russell — I assume he invented JW — was a Puritan at heart, but he would settle for mere death, which Puritans would have condemned as heresy.

I have a vague suspicion that, if Christianity is true, there WILL be a Hell. But it will only be for those who believe in it and LOVE the idea.
