Christ warns us and teaches us that there is a Hell and to never be lax, or have any doubt to its existence - as much as there is a Heaven. He teaches us about the physical realities of Hell as a place of eternal damnation for the wicked. Let us be in no doubt whatsoever about Hell as being a real, physical place of torment. Indeed, people who have had Negative Out of the Body Experiences {NOOBE's} tell of suddenly finding themselves in a dark place, a terrifying place in which they are witness to strange, horrific-looking creatures - could they be demons?
They tell of hearing blood-curdling screams of terror and pain coming from the very pits of the dark, and a smell of sulphur, as if millions upon millions of souls who have passed on, are being tortured in the most unimaginable way. Those who come back to tell the tale of their trip to Hell, are the lucky ones.

They speak of a light source, not exactly the sun, but coming from somewhere all around them, that is so bright, yet not blinding. And they speak of meeting their loved ones who have passed on before them.
Their experience is so profound, that many do not want to come back to the life they left behind. Yet they tell of the pull of their children, {who are still alive} needing them. They are torn between two worlds...the world of the living, and the world beyond this world, in which there is no more pain, or suffering, tears, or fears. They tell of an experience that touches the deepest parts of them, and changes their whole life, and view on death and,
