Answer 1

Biblically, Hell is described alternately by descriptions of eternal torment or simply the grave.

Modern theology holds that Hell is basically pure separation from God and others. Imagine, if you will, being stuck, without a body, in a sensory deprivation tank for all eternity, unable to perceive anything but your Self.

And I'm an atheist.

Answer 2

Hell is the grave ....6 feet under.
There is no fire. In fact, its a tad cool.
Actually, 'hell' is a word that entered the English language thanks to the KJV.
Collier’s Encyclopedia (1986, Vol. 12, p. 28) says: “It stands for the Hebrew 'Sheol' of the OT and the Greek 'Hades' of the NT. Since Sheol referred simply to the abode of the dead, the word ‘hell,’ as understood today, is not a happy translation.”
NOT A HAPPY TRANSLATION!
The meaning given today to “hell” is that portrayed in Dante’s Divine Comedy which is completely foreign to the original definition of the word.
The English Revised Version of the Bible, uses the terms “grave” and “pit”.
There is a clue there.

Answer 3

Their is a man in the book Corinthians that is having sex with his mother in law . he is told to leave the church least he repent . so he did repent and they let him come back . but it was said to him that if you continua to do that same sin over and over again his soul would be turned over to the devil to the day of judgment. my guess is this is hell . now doesn't say he would be cast in to the lake of fire which is not hell (clearly two different places) . because if he has Jesus as he Savior he will go to heaven . his punishment for his sin is that he waits in hell and get no rewards when Jesus comes back

Answer 4

Hell is referred to as 'Gehenna' or 'Hades' by Jesus in the gospels. It is the place where garbage used to be burned outside the walls of Jerusalem.
He compared hell to this because of the eternal torment that will come for all those who do not believe in Him.

Answer 5

IV. HELL

1033 We cannot be united with God unless we freely choose to love him. But we cannot love God if we sin gravely against him, against our neighbor or against ourselves: "He who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him."612 Our Lord warns us that we shall be separated from him if we fail to meet the serious needs of the poor and the little ones who are his brethren.613 To die in mortal sin without repenting and accepting God's merciful love means remaining separated from him for ever by our own free choice. This state of definitive self-exclusion from communion with God and the blessed is called "hell."

1034 Jesus often speaks of "Gehenna" of "the unquenchable fire" reserved for those who to the end of their lives refuse to believe and be converted, where both soul and body can be lost.614 Jesus solemnly proclaims that he "will send his angels, and they will gather . . . all evil doers, and throw them into the furnace of fire,"615 and that he will pronounce the condemnation: "Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire!"616

1035 The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, "eternal fire."617 The chief punishment of hell is eternal separation from God, in whom alone man can possess the life and happiness for which he was created and for which he longs.

1036 The affirmations of Sacred Scripture and the teachings of the Church on the subject of hell are a call to the responsibility incumbent upon man to make use of his freedom in view of his eternal destiny. They are at the same time an urgent call to conversion: "Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few."618


Since we know neither the day nor the hour, we should follow the advice of the Lord and watch constantly so that, when the single course of our earthly life is completed, we may merit to enter with him into the marriage feast and be numbered among the blessed, and not, like the wicked and slothful servants, be ordered to depart into the eternal fire, into the outer darkness where "men will weep and gnash their teeth."619

1037 God predestines no one to go to hell;620 for this, a willful turning away from God (a mortal sin) is necessary, and persistence in it until the end. In the Eucharistic liturgy and in the daily prayers of her faithful, the Church implores the mercy of God, who does not want "any to perish, but all to come to repentance":621


Father, accept this offering
from your whole family.
Grant us your peace in this life,
save us from final damnation,
and count us among those you have chosen.622
