where is hell?

Question

if hell exists where is it?

Answer 1

No humans go to a fiery hell. Instead, the vast majority of the dead are in a state of non-existence awaiting the resurrection that begins after Armageddon.

Jehovah's Witnesses understand the Scriptures to teach that God's Kingdom will soon replace all earthly governments.
(Daniel 2:44) God of heaven will set up a kingdom... It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite

That Kingdom will rule over the vast majority of mankind, most of whom will have been raised from the dead after Armageddon.
(John 11:23,24) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”
(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.

Until that resurrection, there is no suffering in "hell", or the grave. Sometime after the resurrection, death and "hell" will themselves be destroyed.
(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all
(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades ["hell"] were hurled into the lake of fire

While a limitted number of humans will be resurrected to heaven to share in ruling over mankind, the vast majority (literally more than 99.9%) of Jehovah's Witnesses expect an EARTHLY hope, the same hope given to Adam and Eve.
(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]
(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]

Interestingly, the Scriptures are full of references to this earthly hope.
(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'
(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'
(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'
(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'
(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind

Answer 2

Why do you ask the location of Hell when you are already inside it?
This very earth you live on breathe on is Hell itself. Look around yourself! people slaughtering eachother for money and simple things as title..they are all nonsense. This world is ruled by evil thats for certain.

Answer 3

Hell is here and now for some people. Others have overcome much of this world, and are no longer conscious of hell, but have the mind of the Lord. Progress elevates the mortal out of the tar pit.

Answer 4

IF the standard views of Hell are clearly established in the Bible, then it is indeed necessary to find ways to justify how a loving, merciful God could conceive it necessary to endlessly torture people for eternity as "recompense" for whatever sins they committed in a short life-time. But IF the standard views are not supported from scripture, and instead are built on a foundation of human speculation, fables, uninspired writings, and perhaps even the twisted desire for vengeance in the minds of carnal men, then painting God as requiring such is utterly blasphemous.

HELL
The abode of the dead especially as a place of eternal punishment for unbelievers. Hell- Anglo-Saxon word used to translate one Hebrew word and three Greek words in the King James Version of the Old and New Testaments. The Hebrew word that “hell” translated was Sheol. (Compare NAS). The word Sheol occurs sixty-five times in the Hebrew Bible. The King James Version translates 31as “hell”; 31as “grave”; and 3 as “pit” The RSV never uses “hell” to translate Sheol.... It does use “grave” one time as a translation of Sheol... 64 times..transliterates the word as Sheol. NAS always uses Sheol, while NIV intentionally avoids Sheol, using grave....Sheol is a Hebrew word that has taken on the properties of a proper name. he Old Testament uses the word to refer to a place in the depths of the earth. The expressions “go down” or “brought down” are used twenty times in connection with Sheol....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. The Septuagint—the earliest Greek translation of the Old Testament—used hades to translate the Hebrew word Sheol. Whereas in the Old Testament, the distinction in the fates of the righteous and the wicked was not always clear, in the New Testament hades refers to a place of torment opposed to heaven as the place of Abraham's bosom (Luke 16:23; Acts 2:27,Acts 2:31). In Matthew 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....Gehenna became synonymous with “a place of burning.”...One time the Greek word tartaroo “cast into hell” appears in the New Testament..The word appears in classical Greek to refer to a subterranean region, doleful and dark, regarded by the ancient Greeks as the abode of the wicked dead. It was thought of as a place of punishment. In the sole use of the word in the New Testament it refers to the place of punishment for rebellious angels...
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...Certainly, no one wants to suffer the punishment of hell, and through God's grace the way for all is open to avoid hell and know the blessings of eternal life through Christ.
