    Is Hell For Real

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I acknowledge different religions might have different views, however, I honestly believe hell does exist. Another person stated that the book of Revelation in the Bible provides a good description and I'd like to second that. Rarely is the full intensity of Hell described with such vigor. Revelation provides a prophecy to those events leading up to the end of the world and the end of the world itself, presented to John by God. I believe that as long as Heavan exists, Hell will have to as well because they are opposites, controlled by opposite leaders, and represent opposite ends of the spectrum yet there is no in between. Again, these are simply my beliefs and are not meant to offend anyone.

    Well first off hell is very real but only a few people know what hell really is... And I am sure that when you find the true meaning of hell it will blow your mind because of the simplicity of what hell really is................... Now what is hell well its just a hole in the ground its not some firey pit but just a simple open hole in the ground.............. It is not a place of enternal punishment.. But something that can be no bigger that a rabbit hole... And any creature that dig a hole in the ground and moves in is living in hell period.........

    Not exactly. I know ghosts are real, but that doesn't mean that hell is real. No one knows for sure if it is real or not.

    yes ofcourse, hell and heaven are just right behind to each other, there is a simple passage way for both worlds... as usal hell and heavans has their own kings, demons lives in hell.. angels lives in heaven. demons will tear you a part of your sins, angel will care and wish your desires.

    Hades is the god of hell

    heaven .. i dont know..!!
