There is nothing in the Tenach about eternal damnation, so where does it originate?

Dante's Inferno.

Weird how religions take from things they are against and then incorporate them into their own belief system. Hades/Hell was a Greek Pagan concept. Actually, the whole "Hell" image we get from Christianity comes from Paganism. Now it's mainly Christianity who uses it and Paganism has discarded it almost all together.

I wish these people would make up their minds.

None "know" what Jesus said and little actually about what he did was recorded in vitually any way. We can't even trust CNN

All books and scriptures that quote him are stories handed down, the authors were not alive when Jesus walked among.

All accounts are not in the bible and this is fact.

All biblical content and scritpture where selected to impose the will of religion just as all have been edited since.

There are countless versions of god's "only" words.

Where did this idea of guilt, used to promote and sustain narrow motive, come from?

Organized control as opposed to balanced participation.

This is one of the primary reasons this man jesus was attached.

He came to know that travelling within mutually beneficial orientation, through commonly considerate cultivation and humble participation is a direct relationship with that which creates and sustains.

There is no agent or broker between.

Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascends up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night...

Revelation 20:12, 15 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life...And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of

Jesus does speak of eternal damnation:

Matt 5:22
But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.
(from New International Version)


Matt 23:15

15 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.
(from New International Version)


Matt 23:33-34

33 "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?
(from New International Version)


Luke 12:4-5
4 "I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell.
(from New International Version)

Jesus is the Word of God and He taught only what He received from His Father when He was in heaven.

John 3:10-15

10 "You are Israel's teacher," said Jesus, "and do you not understand these things? 11 I tell you the truth, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven-the Son of Man. 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.
(from New International Version)

“Truly I say unto you, All their sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter: but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin: because they say, ‘He has an unclean spirit’.” (Book of Mark 3:28-29)

"He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come." (Book of Matthew 12:30-32)

To get the concept of 'hell', you need to include Dante's Inferno:
