please give Scriptures to back up your answer...if you can't give quotes from Jesus then don't bother because your response will be ignored!

Jesus talked more about hell than He did about Heaven. Not one word in the Bible suggests that hell is a pleasant place, or a place where anyone would ever want to go. Jesus called hell a place of "outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 25:30, KJV). In one of His parables, Jesus told of a man who was in hell, begging for someone to come and "cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire" (Luke 16:24). The only companions anyone will have in hell will be "the devil and his angels" (Matthew 25:41).
There is much we don't know about hell—but we know all we need to know. And the most important thing we know about hell is that we don't have to go there! Yes, we have sinned, and we deserve only God's judgment. But God loves us, and Christ came to deliver us from hell and welcome us into heaven forever.
Don't take hell lightly—but don't take Christ lightly, either. Instead, by a simple prayer of faith ask Him to forgive your sins and come into your life today. The Bible's promise is true: "There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1).

All go to hell at death.The original Hebrew word was Sheol and the Greek word was Hades, properly translated they mean: the grave or a pit.Another word also translated as hell was Gehenna(Greek),this is an actual place now known as the Hinnom Valley in Jerusalem. This is a place that always had a fire and they burnt trash, animal carcasses, and live babies were sacrificed to molech the great owl god. Look at a map its on there. In Psalm 16:10, & 49:15 David knew he was going to hell (grave) and would be resurected from it.Many of the older Bibles such as Geneva properly translated these words as grave or pit. It is impossible to have three totally different words and translate them all as hell. In the 1600's when the KJV Bible was made ,the meaning of the word hell was to put in the ground so when they changed the wording to hell they understood what it meant.If you look up Gehenna in Websters dictionary today you will see it tells you the same thing I said. Apparently its to difficult for most Christians to actually look up the meaning of a word, they prefer to listen to the lies that their preacher spews from the pulpit. My God will put you in hell when you die,the grave, and regardless of your beliefs or how you lived you will be resurected for judgement. To receive eternal life you must know Christ as saviour, if not you will be thrown into the lake of fire Rev. 20:14, this is the second death, where people are consumed instantly and permanently. No eternal suffering and torment.I am a Christian and I think its a shame that churches use these kind of scare tactics to keep people in church. Look at below website for many other anti-church / pro-God topics

I don't know, but I do know, that the word hell means death, not what we typically think of it as today. THere are also places where the Bible talks about a lake of fire. The road to heaven is narrow and few will find it, the road to hell (death) is broad and many will enter. It is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the gates of heaven. I belive Jesus came to earth, that all wh recieve him to have a chance at eternal life. Hell just means death. Jesus holds the keys to hell and death. Of chourse also the Bible speaks of the eternal lake of fire and hell fire as well. But you see, when Adam and Eve took a bite from the fruit off the tree of knowledge of good and evil, God, Jehova kicked them out of the garden so that they could not also eat of the tree of eternal life. God Jehova just gave us a chance to have eternal life if we choose him.

Jesus said these Words and believes them.

Being a Mosaic Essene terrorist brigand, no Jesus AKA John Of Gamala did not believe in hell, since there is no hell in the Torah or Hebrew tradition. John was a Jew and wanted a strict obedience to Jewish law, and nothing else.

Yes Jesus explicitly said the evil doers will be cast to hell for damnation for they denied the truth and love revealed.
