Are the Wicked Punished in an Ever-burning Hell?
"It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire-where 'their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched' " (Mark 9:47-48).
Did Jesus here warn of an eternal punishment in hellfire?
The words in the phrase hell fire, above, are translated from the Greek word gehenna. Jesus here referred to the valley of Hinnom, just outside of Jerusalem. In His day this area was a garbage dump in which fires burned constantly, fueled by trash and the dead bodies of animals and criminals.
Jesus used this desolate and miserable place as symbolic of the fate of unrepentant sinners. Notice that Jesus says the worm does not die, not that the people punished in hellfire do not die. The punishment is eternal, meaning that it is permanent and complete. But this does not mean that the incorrigible are kept alive and tortured by a vengeful God.
Burned remains of the bodies in the original gehenna, the Valley of Hinnom, decomposed and were infested with maggots. The fire was not extinguished-it burned as long as there was trash to keep it burning-and the maggots (the "worms" of Mark 9:48) were not destroyed. Maggots are the wormlike larvae of flies. Flies swarm over the decaying refuse and keep it continuously infested with maggots. Then, instead of dying, those creatures turn into more flies in a continuing cycle.
The bodies of animals and people thrown into gehenna, however, either decayed or burned up and, of course, were eventually completely consumed. Similarly, unrepentant sinners will not be tormented forever; they will be completely and eternally destroyed in the lake of fire, referred to in Revelation 20:14.

There is Only One Thing that will send a Person to Hell.
Leaving the Earth for Good, WITHOUT getting your Spirit Recreated.
You are a Spirit living in a Body.
You gotta get Born-Again (Spirit Recreated) to make Heaven.
religions cannot Recreate you (a Spirit).
Doing Good is what we Should do all of the Time, but That won't Recreate you Either.
Jesus is the Only One that can Recreate you.
Jesus has to have your Permission to Save you.
GOD (Jesus) will not go Against your Free-Will.
Hope this Helps.

The one thing I keep reminding myself is if HELL is true and heaven existed then I would never want my friends to land in a wrong place,while selfishly I walk into right one.I would never want any one to be in Hell as it is not at all a nice place to be in for anyone.(I am sure every faith has some concept about it)Unless one chooses to be there,then no one can change the decision of anyone,Can we???We need to honour decisions and learn to leave it at that.

Two things send you to hell.
Worshipping anything other than the One that created you.
Hurting people and or living things and not repenting sincerely with the promise that you wont do it again.

If persons do a bit more studying, you would see hell in the bible is the grave, yup pushing up daises. Hell like taught in most churches is an incorporation of pagan and Babylonian religion. So false religion was blended into the "christian" faith.

Only one thing, unbelief, Unbelief is the only sin, Cussing, smoking, drinking & so on is not the sin, It is the attributes of sin, it shows that you have unbelief. If a person truly believe they would not commit the other things.

Not repenting and excepting Jesus for the non-believers.In the church today we have one group that thinks you can be saved by works,and another that thinks you can be saved without works.All of thee above will go lost according to scripture.
