Is hell like a rehab for treatment of sin addicts?
Quran gives a clue to it:
It is for a long time but not eternal as God is. There will come a time when all inhabitants of hell will be delivered from it:
[101:9] But as for him whose scales are light,
[101:10] Hell will be his nursing mother.
[101:11] And what should make thee know what that is?
[101:12] It is a burning Fire.

Hell is like rehab where the addicts of sins will be treated when one gets cured one will come out of it. God's mercy will release one from it. Right, please?
Regards

God is never trying to hurt people - God is only ever trying to save every person.
"If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire." ~ 1 Corinthians 3:15
Cheers

Not at all. If people think they can get out of prison until their debt is paid in full they are mistaken. Sins against God are impossible to pay for by yourself.
The big concern for teaching like that is that people will not take following God seriously.
For instance, as a child, I often weighed up my crimes versus my punishment and when the punishment was light then I would still do the crimes.

Post #5No, from my Christian pov hell isn't for rehab, the earth is the place for rehab for addicts to evil. Only sinners are born on earth; all sinners are born on earth. Being rehabbed is to be saved while to fail in rehabilitation is to be judged and banished to hell as incurable. Once banished there are no coming back...paarsurrey1 wrote: Is hell like a rehab for treatment of sin addicts?
PCE Theology as I see it...
We had an existence with a free will in Sheol before the creation of the physical universe. Here we chose to be able to become holy or to be eternally evil in YHWH's sight. Then the physical universe was created and all sinners were sent to earth.
This theology debunks the need to base Christianity upon the blasphemy of creating us in Adam's sin.

Jesus took the eternal punishment of the cross - but it was not continual punishing.
The punishments do happen, but the punishments come to an end, then comes salvation to all.
"Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess" - not some but all.
The punishments of God are from a loving Father to His own lost children, and so even God's punishments turn out to be a blessing in the end.

If correctly understood NT Bible, as our friend JP Cusick has also noted, confirms that hell is a rebab for the sinners.

The laws in hell are to keep under control the vile behavior of its inhabitants. They are there because they love that kind of life and to them, granted by the Lord's divine mercy not to see their own depravity, it appears heavenly.
Any who still might have any light of love or kindness in them are given every opportunity to enter heaven.
We create our spiritual bodies, they either of light or darkness.
There's no darkness in heaven, no light in hell.

Ecclesiastes 9:6 - "For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing at all."
Psalm 146:4 - "His spirit [ftn. 'breath'] goes out, he returns to the ground; On that very day his thoughts perish."
How can the dead, who 'know nothing' and their 'thoughts having perished' be rehabilitated?
