And therefore, I've got to be humble enough to say, I don't know, but to stick with what he has revealed.

Now, hell is described as outer darkness and fire.

Hmm, how do you have outer darkness and fire?

Obviously, I think that's metaphorical speech, symbolic speech.

We read about that hell was prepared for the devil and his demons.

That's what Jesus taught.

In light of the fact that the devil and his demons do not have physical bodies, how physical is hell going to be?

I don't know.

But what I do know is that hell is going to be so horrible that Jesus Christ bled and died on a cross to barricade our path to hell, to forgive us, and to give us eternal life in heaven.

Well, I think it's put forward very clearly in the scriptures.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

That does not mean trepidation, it means awe.

So I am to stand in such awe of God that I don't suffer from other fears too much.

We're all gonna be afraid, I certainly struggle with fear, and I struggle too much with fear to tell you the truth.

But as I grow in my awe of God, in my fear of God, then my other fears begin to fade away.

So I think that's crucial, to start with the fear of the Lord.

Second point, well, who is the Lord?

He's the eternal God.

Whoa, eternal.

Wow.
