To the preacher who says that Jesus meant Hell in a figurative way, please explain Jesus death. Did Christ die to save us from a figurative hell? Doesn't that make salvation figurative to? Did Christ endure real torment to bring men figurative salvation? Wasn’t Christ dying to save men from something bad? Isn't hell something bad? How is a figurative hell a bad place? Or is it only figuratively bad? If hell is the place where evil is punished, are you saying God punishes evil in a figurative way? Or is evil figurative, too? I mean, is evil figuratively wrong or literally wrong? If someone were to kill another person, are they literally wrong or only figuratively wrong? Will God deal with them literally or figuratively?
One more question: If hell is figurative, then what about heaven? Wow. That's a disappointment, figuratively speaking, of course.
