I meant did he talk more about Hell
2006-07-16 11:02:53 · update #1
hmm.. I am not an expert bible theologian..yet :)...but wasn't that Jesus' point! isn't the reason He came down here was to convince people that Hell is real, and, yes He did mention them both quite a lot, but maybe He had a reason to mention Hell more. Maybe He wanted to stress on the fact that, besides eternal glory, theres also eternal punishment. with further study I might be able to answer better...

"Logos found the word "heaven" 4742 times in the gospels in 20 translations.
Logos found the word "hell" 286 times.
Since it seems to be a proven fact in some circles that Jesus spoke of hell more than heaven it occurred to me that Logos was obviously off here so I did a search for the word "hades" and came up with 86 hits.
That was still a little short so I did a search on the world "fire" and came up with 936 hits.
I'm not good at math, but I think 4742 is a slightly larger number than whatever 286 + 86 + 936 adds up to, like it might even be somewhere around 4 times larger.
In all honesty, my little survey here proves little. To really understand Jesus on heaven and hell you would have to read each and every verse in its context, but I'm lazy and that just sounds too much like work.
A number count doesn't determine the truthfulness or the importance of a concept. If Jesus had only spoke of hell once that would enough to establish its reality and the fearfulness of it.

Only if you count the time He spoke as a Man

I have heard someone say that, but I really don't know, I don't remember him speaking more about hell than heaven.
I remember him speaking on the kingdom of heaven and on healing people, and on believing the things that he said.
