The bible contains the word hell, which was the name of the norse goddess of the underworld. Hell was not originally part of chirstianity. Originally the bible contained, in the Old Testament, Sheol, which is the hebrew word for the Grave, and in the New Testament, Geheena. Geheena was a landfill outside Jerusalem where the city's trash, and the bodies of executed criminals were burned. Thus the stories of the flames of hell filled with the damned.
