where dose it say in the bible that there is a hell?

Answer 1

In a number of places the Bible vaguely refers to the idea of Hell:

The final punishment of the wicked is therefore annihilation, perpetual death, cut off from the land of the living for ever. This is fitting and appropriate in the light of our understanding of Bible teaching concerning life and death, "for the wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23)

A number of verses in Matthew address Hell more directly, an example:

And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. (43-44)

Matthew also is the book that establishes heaven as "The Kingdom of Heaven."

Answer 2

If you are speaking about a "hell-fire" it does not

If you understand the true meaning of Hell, then you will know that everyone that death takes, goes to Hell.

Definition: The word “hell” is found in many Bible translations. In the same verses other translations read “the grave,” “the world of the dead,” and so forth. Other Bibles simply transliterate the original-language words that are sometimes rendered “hell”; that is, they express them with the letters of our alphabet but leave the words untranslated. What are those words? The Hebrew she’ohl' and its Greek equivalent hai'des, which refer, not to an individual burial place, but to the common grave of dead mankind; also the Greek ge'en·na, which is used as a symbol of eternal destruction. However, both in Christendom and in many non-Christian religions it is taught that hell is a place inhabited by demons and where the wicked, after death, are punished (and some believe that this is with torment).

Does anyone ever get out of the Bible hell?

Rev. 20:13, 14, KJ: “The sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell* delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.” (So the dead will be delivered from hell. Notice also that hell is not the same as the lake of fire but will be cast into the lake of fire.)

Is eternal torment of the wicked compatible with God’s personality? What would you think of a parent who held his child’s hand over a fire to punish the child for wrongdoing? “God is love.” (1 John 4:8) Would he do what no right-minded human parent would do? Certainly not! Simply put, the word Hell is translated from the Hebrew word Sheol, which means the grave, where everyone goes when they die.

Answer 3

The Bible talks about hell as an section the position useless human beings go. It says no longer some thing about them being wakeful there. in truth it says at the same time as someone dies, his innovations do perish. It also says that hell will be destroyed in the Lake of hearth. It defines the Lake of hearth because the 2d lack of life. do no longer be misled by using hysterical reactions to Dante's Inferno. It became no longer in accordance with scripture.

Answer 4

Good question. I don't know specifically, but I have a theory that any references to hell are conceptual in nature. Even Pope John Paul II believed that hell was merely a state of mind. A state of being separated from God, spiritually speaking.

POPE JOHN PAUL II – SPEECH: JULY 21, 1999:
In three Wednesday Audiences, Pope John Paul II pointed out that the essential characteristic of heaven, hell or purgatory is that they are states of being of a spirit (angel/demon) or human soul, rather than places, as commonly perceived and represented in human language. This language of place is, according to the Pope, inadequate to describe the realities involved, since it is tied to the temporal order in which this world and we exist. In this he is applying the philosophical categories used by the Church in her theology and saying what St. Thomas Aquinas said long before him.

"Incorporeal things are not in place after a manner known and familiar to us, in which way we say that bodies are properly in place; but they are in place after a manner befitting spiritual substances, a manner that cannot be fully manifest to us." [St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae, Supplement, Q69, a1, reply 1]

Answer 5

In the NIV Bible, Matthew 11:28 says this "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell." Jesus spoke these words.

Answer 6

The word "Gehenna" is mentioned in the Bible...and it refers to eternal destruction...sometimes the word "fiery" or "ruin" is used with it...here is where this comes from: The Valley of Hinnom (Gehenna) was outside the walls of Jerusalem. For a time it was the site of idolatrous worship, including child sacrifice. In the first century Gehenna was being used as the incinerator for the valley to be consumed in the fires, to which sulfur, or brimstone (also used in Bible) was added to assist the burning. Also bodies of burial in a memorial tomb, were thrown into Gehenna. Thus, at Matthew 5:29,30, Jesus spoke of the casting of one's "whole body" into Gehenna. If the body fell into the constantly buring fire it was consumed, but if it landed on a ledge of the deep ravine its putrefying flesh became infested with ever-present worms, or maggots (Mark 9:47,48). Living humans were not pitched into Gehenna; so it was not a place of conscious torment.
At Matthew 10:28, Jesus warned his hearers to "be in fear of him that can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna". What does it mean? Notice that there is no mention here of TORMENT in the fires of Gehenna; rather, he says to 'fear him that can DESTROY in Gehenna.' By referring to the "soul" seperately, Jesus here emphasizes that God can destroy all of a person's life prospects; thus there is no hope of resurrection for him. So, the references to the "fiery Gehenna" have the same meaning as the "lake of fire" of Revelation 21:8. Namely, destruction, "second death."
"The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all." (Eccl. 9:5)
"The soul that is sinning - it itself will die" (Ezek. 18:4)
Notice that the dead is 'conscious of nothing' and also that the soul that is sinning will also die. There is no mention in the Bible of God sending anyone to a place of eternal torment. It would contradict itself if God said he was a loving God, and then sent people to a place like that.
