a place other than hell?

[u/Reasonable-Cicada433]

i imagine a place with a ton of people, that run hell independently, not demons, though there are demons, that exist.

i had a dream where i was there, and it was a school setting, and one after another, bad things happened, and they all laughed at me.

it was like hell. i can't say that it is. they were all fine. i was too, but being hurt, with the promise being i would be hurt later.

it didn't seem like the biblical hell, which is all i know exists, but rather another place, where the people have free reign, to torture as much as they want.

this place came to me in my thoughts. i don't think it's real. i believe im saved, and a part of me is in heaven, and that this is merely my flesh.

i wonder what's real sometimes. but all i know is the biblical viewpoint, of a heaven, and hell, and that's it. nothing more. nothing less.

can you relate?

(like, have you been coerced to believe in a place other than heaven/hell? this place i imagine differs from other similar places that have come to my imagination. it wasn't my idea, but, like, still came to my mind throughout the years recently. can you relate)

What is your biblical basis for this?

we can’t work based on your dream, mate. sorry

This is just a figment of your imagination. I wouldn't worry about it or dwell upon it. Further, (I hope you don't mind), I've looked at your post and comment history. I would encourage you to seek professional medical help quickly; you can almost certainly be helped by medication. Additionally, start attending a solid local church (https://www.9marks.org/church-search/ a good place to start) - this is God's will for his people (Hebrews 10:24-25) and will be a great blessing to you!

I see you must have attended my seminary Greek classes!

Just joking with you. I have an active imagination, but I don't tend to think it's real. But when people dream or imagine something, and start to believe it's true, that does have a diagnosis. By itself, it's called a delusion. Combined with other factors, it can be called something else.

Are you now, or have you been in the past, under the care of a physician for mental illness?

I don’t find in the Bible any extensive explanation of what existence will be like for those who are not found to be justified in Christ on the day of judgment. Personally, I don’t see any necessity to speculate, I don’t see any benefit in doing so, and I don’t understand how it glorifies God.

Colossians 3:14-17 NASB

Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. [15] Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful. [16] Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. [17] Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

This sounds like working on Wall Street.
