not really. i was about 10-ish when i got my hands on a book depicting the 7 levels of hell
it was the reason that even when i went through my atheist phase, i still believe there is a hell and that i will be sent there to be punished for my sins
well I kinda just grew up in that kind of environment
My parents would rather that I choose to be Christian and they wouldn't "force" that upon me. I'd have to go on my own time to watch "The Bible Project" videos on youtube and actually read the Bible though if I really wanted to
Of course, it's my responsibility to explore different religions as well as Christianity. And often I get asked what domination of Christianity my church is
I'm not familiar with types of Christianity that don't fall under those two categories. Without going into specifics that different denominations of prodistents differences like between like Baptists and Methodist, its usally broken between Cathothic and Protestants.
There are many denominations of protestants including independents that don't fall into a specific protestant denomination but if you are Christian and not Catholic it's likely a denomination of Protistants. That is unless its Morman/Latter Day Saints that are there own thing.
no lol. christian hell is just fire. the book i read specifically mentioned the 3 deities that judge people's soul, cutting tongues and getting hanged by the stump of their tongue, getting boiled in a vat of oil, getting eaten by ants, etc.
My understanding is Christian hell's true punishment is more the permanent separation from God more then the pain you would experience that is described in other places; that is more an addition to the punishment.
It's well known that Hell has a firey imagery and to be honest, when I started learning about Greek mythology and the Underworld it had a very dark and cold imagery to it
