The “ask anybody on the street” argument doesn’t really work because people also describe heaven as having pearly gates (when that actually is the Holy City in Revelation), or God being an old man with a long white beard, or to attribute proverbs to the Bible that it doesn’t say (like “money is the root of all evil” or “God helps those who help themselves.”)
That’s true, but the Bible does describe hell as the way people tend to think of it.
Look. The best I can offer up is a slice of my own pie.
When I was against God and apart from him? My life was all about me. There weren’t any limits to the hurt I could flame myself with. There wasn’t any reason to stop doing what I wanted. The tap was wide open.
Giving God a real stare gave me the sense to put on gloves and stop burning down my own house.
I’d say it was an experience. Sort of like going from hell to heaven.
So I don’t know if that helps?
