Is eternity in an ever-burning inferno the fate of the wicked? Many believe so, but is that what the Bible says? SHEOL in Hebrew. in Greek its HADES and also TARTAROS and GEHENNA is Hebrew. All those words that refer to hell have nothing to suggest hell is a fiery lake. The lake of fire is for demons, and falling angels as well as Satan.

As far as I know, the official viewpoint of th Catholic Church is that Hell is a state of being deprived from God's love.
As mentioned above, the firy place is just an invention of the Medieval Ages to express how terrible it is.

Read Dante's divine comedy for a Christian view of Hell. I've just seen the 700 club begging for money - now that's another view of hell.

Well, rev. Lovejoy from The Simpsons said it best when he had the kids repeat " and I will have naught to eat but burning hot coals, and naught to drink but burning hot cola."
