“There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power.”-C.S. Lewis

“But, it has the full support of Scripture and, specifically, of our own Lord’s words; it has always been held by Christendom; and it has the support of reason.”-C.S. Lewis

“Hell is not a place where people are consigned because they were pretty good people who didn’t believe the right stuff for eighty years: They’re consigned there, first and foremost, because they defy their maker and want to be at the center of the universe. Hell is not filled with people who have already repented, only God isn’t gentle enough to let them out. It’s filled with people who, for all of eternity, still want to be the center of the universe….. What is God to do? If he says it doesn’t matter to him, then God is no longer a God to be admired…. For him to act in any other way in the face of such blatant defiance would be to reduce God himself.
-D.A. Carson

“All descriptions and depictions of heaven and hell in the Bible are symbolic and metaphorical. Each metaphor suggests one aspect of the experience of hell. ( For example, “fire” tells us of the disintegration, while “darkness” tells us of the isolation.)
-Tim Keller

“God is for you! The reality of hell is not a statement that God is against you. God isn’t dying to put us in hell. He died to keep you out of it! Hell is not a declaration that God does not love us. Hell is a declaration of a God who will not force us to love him.”
