Just wondering.

    Not hell, because there are some good and holy people here. More like purgatory. After we serve our time, if we have learned anything, we get to move on.

    Hell is not a Bible teaching.

    • It is good to do a comparison of the Bible texts in which these words appear original, and come to a correct understanding of its true meaning, I hope this information helps you, read it all. This is the translation of hell in different languages: Sheol (Hebrew), Hades (in Greek), the inferno (Latin) should be translated as Grave (tomb in English) or Sepulchre (in Spanish). How do I know? I leave several translations of Bibles Internet including one in Latin.

    • Peter said it was written in Greek:

    Acts 2:30-32 (New King James Version)

    30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,[a] 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in HADES, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses.

    (Acts 2:30-32)

    • Here is read in Greek.

    • What is the fulfillment of the prophecy of Psalms (written in Hebrew).

    10For You (A)will not abandon my soul to SHEOL;

    Nor will You (B)allow Your Holy One to [a]undergo decay.

    (Psalm 16:10)

    • Here is direct reading in Hebrew.

    • And how is translated into Latin? Read Acts 2:31.

    providens locutus est de resurrectione Christi quia neque derelictus est in INFERNO neque caro eius vidit corruptionem (Acts 2:31)

    • With what we see that Jesus was in 'hell' three days, but in 'hell' of the Bible is not 'hell' of Dante's Divine Comedy ...

    • How should to be fully translated in Spanish? So. Reed:

    Acts 2:31 (New International Version 1984, ©1984)

    31 Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ,[a] that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay.

    (Acts 2:31)

    • Does the punishment deserved to be perfect? No. Jesus being in Sheol (Hebrew), Hades (Greek), Inferno (Latin), Inferno (Old Spanish), Tomb (modern Spanish), wait to be resurrected.

    • So that everyone who can read has shown that 'hell' of the Bible is nothing more than the grave or the grave or the pit.

    • And Revelation 20:14 says: the hell you pull into the lake of fire (to destroy)

    Revelation 20:14 (New International Version 1984, ©1984)

    14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.

    • Everything is visible and free for those who want to research. And what Jesus said is true:

    (John 8:32) and know the truth and the truth shall make you free. "

    As an Atheist, I can honestly say, that if bible stuff were true... that could be easily possible.
