I'm afraid if I die I'm going to hell.Is hell even real?

Some Bible translations use the word “hell” for the Hebrew word “Sheol” and the matching Greek word “Hades,” both of which refer to the common grave of mankind. (Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:27)

Death, not torment in a fiery hell, is the penalty for sin. “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin"- Romans 6:7.

Hell is not a place of torment no need to fear it.

“For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, . . . for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.”—Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, Revised Standard Version.

The Hebrew word Sheol, which referred to the “abode of the dead,” is translated “hell” in some versions of the Bible. What does this passage reveal about the condition of the dead? Do they suffer in Sheol in order to atone for their errors? No, for they “know nothing.” That is why the patriarch Job, when suffering terribly because of a severe illness, begged God: “Protect me in hell [Hebrew, Sheol].” (Job 14:13; Douay-Rheims Version) What meaning would his request have had if Sheol was a place of eternal torment? Hell, in the Biblical sense, is simply the common grave of mankind, where all activity has ceased.

Is not this definition of hell more logical and in harmony with Scripture? What crime, however horrible, could cause a God of love to torture a person endlessly? (1 John 4:8)

There's no "if" to it. You're going to die.

Yes, hell is real.

That being said, because Jesus died for you, you can have your sins forgiven through the Sacraments of Baptism and Confession (1 Peter 3:21, John 20:21-23).

Go to your local Catholic Church and ask about the RCIA program. You will take classes to learn about Christianity and then you will be baptized. If you have already been baptized, then you will go to Confession. In either case, your sins will be forgiven and you will be in a state of grace. (Also, after Baptism/Confession, you will be able to receive the Eucharist, which is an amazing gift that God gives us).

hell is just more of the preposterous nonsense peddled by superstitious ignorant deluded fools

Not real.

But fear of hell is a highly effective tool for controlling people.

Yes hell is real.. call out to Jesus and he will save you from it and will make you new. He will turn none away that come to him.

No

There is a heaven, there is a hell

and there is a savior, Jesus Christ. Call out to Him if you are afraid

Hell as a destination does not exist.

True hell is watching yourself age & realizing that everything that anyone ever loved about you no longer even exists.
