    The word "hell" is found in many Bible translations. In the same verses other translations read "the grave", "the world of the dead," and so forth. Other Bibles simply transliterate the original - language words that are sometimes rendered "hell"; that is, they express them with the letters of our alphabet but leave the words untranslated. What are those words ? The Hebrew sheohl and its Greek equivalent haides, which refer, not to an individual burial place, but to the common grave of dead mankind; also the Greek geenna, which is used as a symbol of eternal destruction.

    However, both in Christendom and in many non- Christian religions it is taught that hell is a place inhabited by demons and where the wicked, after death, are punished.

    It’s not where it is, its what it is. Hell is the common grave of mankind. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, “The Roman Catholic Church teaches that hell . . . will last forever; its suffering will have no end.” Please read Revelations 20:13,14 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

    14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

    The Bible never one single time mentions the word hell in the sense of a burning place of torment. The word sheol is the Greek word from which we derive the word hell and it simply means the common grave of mankind.

    When you die that's where you go to in your casket into the ground that's hell you're dead you have no consciousness whatsoever that's what the Greek word sheol means. It doesn't mean a place where you go to be tortured by fire.

    The Bible is a book written by man, man creates his own hell here on earth.

    Hell is below us in the earth. Nobody has to be there. Believing in Jesus is the only way to avoid hell.

    .

    Jesus loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing in Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in Jesus to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven when you die, because you believe in Jesus! It is too late to be saved, after death.

    Hell is on earth after the apocalypse. Hell does not burn people for eternity, it kills everything and then the fire goes out and earth is reborn as heaven.
