Here are the details.

The Middle English verb "to hell" does not mean "to cook" it means "to bury" In turn, hell comes from the Old English word "helan" that means to "conceal" or to hide."

In the Old Testament the Hebrew word "sheol" (generally translated "hell") is described as an unconscious sleep-like state:

Job 14:10-13
Psalm 6:5
Psalm 13:3
Psalm 115:17
Psalm 146:4
Ecclesiastes 3:19,20
Ecclesiastes 9:5-10
Isaiah 38:17-19
Daniel 13:13

In the New Testament the Greek word "hades" (also generally translated "hell") is also described as an unconscious sleep-like state:

John 11:11-14
Acts 2:29
Acts 2:34
Acts 7:60
Acts 13:36
1 Corinthians 7:39 [Greek]
1 Corinthians 15:6
1 Corinthians 15:51
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

Moreover, the idea of torment in the New Testament is the result of people being unfamiliarity with the Old Testament.

For example where Jesus describes "Gehenna" (generally translated "hellfire") at Mark 9:47-48, both his original audience and the early readers of the New Testament would have recognized the reference Jesus was making.

They were familiar with this quote from the last verse in Isaiah. They knew what it talked about; not people being tormented; but rather about dead carcasses being consumed by fires....Show more

Hell does exist actually. I remember when I had just turned a Christian and i was sleeping, all of a sudden I remember falling down a long winding tunnel. Around the tunnel I noticed orange lights were glowing. When I finally landed I ended up in a place that was totally dark. I couldn't see anything at all. As a result I didn't want to walk forward because I don't know where I would end up. but I did and out of the darkness I saw a handsome man with long black hair but he looked really angry at me. All of a sudden I heard a voice behind me saying that is Satan and then I awoke. A while after thinking about it and what I read from the bible I realized that the lights I saw around the tunnel was actually fire and that I saw a glimpse of how hell is....Show more

yes, its real and does exist! If u believe in ghosts and spirits then you should definitely believe there is a place called Hell. Its also known to be called the Lake of Fire. Research the Bible if u can.(2 Peter 2:4). Hell is a place which was originally set for Satan and his fallen angels. I believe it exists!

I suggest also reading books by Mary K. Baxter. She has books on Hell and Heaven and more....Show more
