I was looking at a video for the film “Rat Race” yesterday and the review on the box cover says about the film

“Frantic, Furious and FUNNY AS HELL”

As funny as this 12 rating film is, I ask the question what is funny about hell?

The bible says this about Hell

“And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out. It’s better to enter the
Kingdom of God with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell,
‘where the maggots never die and the fire never goes out.’ Mark 9 47-48

Those for whom the Kingdom was prepared—will be thrown into outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Matthew 8:12

Then the devil, who had deceived them, was thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur, joining the beast and the false prophet. There they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. And I saw a great white throne and the one sitting on it. The earth and sky fled from his presence, but they found no place to hide. I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds. Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death. And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:10-15

Hell is never a thing to joke about. It is as real as heaven. Hell is darkness weeping and gnashing of teeth (Separation and loneliness). Hell is Hell there is no better word to use.
We must appreciate something of the horror of Hell if we are ever going to make witnesses for the Lord Jesus.
Don’t let this world drag you down into believing that every little thing will eventually be alright– because unless you are saved by the grace of God and have your sins forgiven, judgment awaits you.

But for those who are in Christ

“Nothing can ever separate you from the love of God"

… nothing, zilch, nil, naught, none.

Please don’t joke about Hell.
