There are 3 Hells, Sheol or Hades, Gehenna, and Tartaroo. How do you know which Hell you're going to be in?

Answer 1

Ask the christians. They will certainly let you know....

Answer 2

It would depend on the type of life you lead. Most casual sins (lies, having 11 items in the ten item lane) will land you in Tartaroo, while the deeper or longer lasting sins (Adultery, over 40 and wearing spandex) will get you sent to Gehenna. The worst sins (murder, rape, not paying taxes) will land you in Hades.

Coincidentally, there is a fourth, undocumented hell. It consists of one very large space into which people are so tightly packed that they cannot sit down. Light, airy music plays all of the time and you cannot move, talk, or even look up. The Otis Elevator Company currently has a patent on this particular hell.

Answer 3

truly that's the devil's job to seduce you and push you to make that maximum sins as a fashion to bypass to hell,,, so truly the devil is attempting to deliver you to hell... also no you heavily isn't tortured in hell endlessly for small blunders,,, as a muslim we belive that you will be tortured endlessly in hell in case you commit the most important sin and crime ever on earth that could no longer warshipping the only authentic and the in elementary words authentic god.... 112.001 Say: he's God, the only and in elementary words; 112.002 God, the eternal, Absolute; 112.003 He begetteth no longer, neither is He begotten; 112.004 and there is none like unto Him. so in case you've faith in god because the way above and then you commit some sins you would possibly want to correctly be tortured in hell an volume relative to those sins and then you would possibly want to bypass to heaven.... also in case you remorseful about a sin and quit doing it allah might want to forgive you and also you would possibly want to no longer be tortured in any respect in favour of that sin I truly have extra solutions and factors yet in simple terms had to make issues short and magnificent..........

Answer 4

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Isaiah 14:15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Does this do it for you?

Answer 5

Gahenna and Sheol are not "hells" in the "eternal torment" sense...

Sheol is literally the grave. this is the hole in the ground the meatbag I am currently occupying, rots in after it permenantly ceases function. since I am comfortable with death, and will be able to accept it, I will detach from said meatbag and allow it to rot, while I go on with my business.

Gahenna is not a eternal torment thing either.... its someplace everyone goes to review their sins after their previous life, to learn from and repent them. its not pleasant, but its not this torturous hell either. ... at least I don't plan on it being THAT bad for me.

after that I'll chill a little, lay out the plans for my next incarnation and be all set.

Answer 6

They all mean the same thing.

I'll prefer u not to think- "which hell u r going". It's not a game. It's not pleasant at all there.

U should think of Heaven instead!

The only way to go to heaven is Jesus and not believing in Him implies that u r willing to go to hell.

Answer 7

Actually, Im going to be in the Kingdom of God with my Savior. If you know you are going to hell, you should reconsider your life.

Answer 8

There are many more names for Hell, it depends on who's telling the story, and if you beleive them or not.

Answer 9

7734 - As a kid we wrote the number on a piece of paper and handed it to another kid saying, "Go here". Then when that kid would say, "Where?", we told him to turn the paper upside down.

Hell does not seem to be a very pleasant place. I prefer not to go there, everl! C.S. Lewis said, "the door to Hell is only locked from the inside." The Bible is full of evidence that both the spiritual dimension and human society are today influenced by an active and pernicious evil agency.

According to Ralph Smith, Hell is the Anglo-Saxon word used to translate one Hebrew word and three Greek words in the King James Version of the Old and New Testaments. Appearing sixty-five times in the Bible, the Hebrew word Sheol Sheol (שאול) denotes the "abode of the dead"; the "underworld", "the common grave of mankind" or "pit", the "farthest point from Heaven". Sheol is originally from the ancient Sumerians view of the Afterlife that is said to be that once one dies, no matter how benevolent or malevolent they are in life, in Sheol they are destined to eat dirt to survive. Sheol is described in terms of overwhelming floods, water, or waves (Jonah 2:2-6). Sometimes, Sheol is pictured as a hunter setting snares for its victim, binding them with cords, snatching them from the land of the living and sometimes Sheol is a prison with bars, a place of no return. A person could go to Sheol alive. With rare exceptions, such as Elijah, all people were believed to go to Sheol when they die. In the Hebrew Bible, the Old Testament, the fate of the righteous and wicked is not clear.

The three Greek words often translated "Hell" are Hades, Gehenna, and Tartaroo. Hades was the name of the Greek god of the underworld and the name of the underworld itself. Orcus is the name of the infernal regions, a dark and dismal place in the very depths of the earth. The Septuagint (the earliest Greek translation of the Old Testament) generally used Hades to translate the Hebrew word Sheol. Hades is a place in Orcus.

In the Christian Bible, the New Testament, Hades refers to a place of torment opposed to heaven as the place of Abrahamْs bosom. In Matt. 16:18 Hades is not simply a place of the dead but represents the power of the underworld. Jesus said the gates of Hades would not prevail against His church.

Gehenna is the Greek form of two Hebrew words ge hinnom meaning valley of Hinnom. The term originally referred to a ravine on the south side of Jerusalem where pagan deities were worshiped. It became a garbage dump and a place of abomination where fire burned continuously.

One time the Greek word "Tartaroo" appears in the New Testament (2 Pet. 2:4). The word appears in classical Greek to refer to a subterranean region, doleful and dark, regarded by the ancient Greeks (Hesiod, Theogony; Homer, Odyssey) as the abode of the wicked dead. In the sole use of the word in the New Testament it refers to the place of punishment for rebellious angels. Jude 6 describes the abode of the same fallen angels mentioned in 2 Peter as 'total darkness'. In Greek mythology, Tartarus is both a deity and a place in the underworld — even lower than Hades. The Roman poet, Virgil, describes Tartarus in the Aeneid as a gigantic place, surrounded by the flaming river.

Punishment for sin is taught in the Old Testament, but it is mainly punishment in this life. The New Testament teaches the idea of punishment for sin before and after death. The expressions "the lake of fire" and "second death" indicate the awfulness of the fate of the impenitent. Some insist that the fire spoken of must be literal fire, so to interpret the language as figurative means to do away with the reality of future punishment. One can, however, maintain this position only if they see no reality expressed by a figure of speech. Jesus spoke of a place of punishment as "outer darkness".

The catechism of the Roman Catholic Church says that "the chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God," but it also holds that the damned "suffer the punishments of hell, 'eternal fire.'" A Church of England commission has rejected the idea of hell as a place of fire, pitchforks and screams of unending agony, describing it instead as annihilation for all who reject the love of God".

Muslims believe in jahannam (in Arabic: جهنم) (which is similar to Hebrew ge-hinnom and resembles the versions of hell in other Abrahamic religions). In the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam, there are literal descriptions of the condemned in a fiery place. The meaning of jahannam is to do with hotness (whereas in Hebrew Gehenna is said to mean a narrow deep valley). In addition, Jannah (Heaven) and Jahanam (Hell) are split into many levels depending on the actions taken in life, where punishment is given depending on the level of evil done in life, and good is separated into other levels depending on how well one followed Allah while alive.

The poem by Dante Alghieri, La Divina Comèdia (The Divine Comedy) can be read online or downloaded at Project Gutenberg. The first part describes Dante's jouney through Inferno or Hell.
