Did Jesus speak of hell.?

Question

However, when Jesus started preaching, he referred to Hinnom's valley
as a place of eternal punishment. The Hebrew words "ge Hinnom"
(Hinnom's valley) became "gehenna" in Greek, and this word is
translated "Hell" in most English bibles.

[Of hell] "The more enlightened sages of the Mysteries viewed such horrors as merely stories to encourage better moral behavior. Plutarch calls the terrors of the Underworld an 'improving myth'. The Christian philosopher Origen likewise argued that the literal terrors of hell were false, but they ought to be publicized in order to scare simpler believers"


Are you a simple minded believer.?

Answer 1

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).

What sort of people go to the Bible hell?

Eccl. 9:5, 10: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all .
Does the Bible indicate that the soul survives the death of the body?

Ezek. 18:4: “The soul that is sinning, it itself will die.”

Acts 2:25-27, KJ: “David speaketh concerning him [Jesus Christ], Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,* neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.” (The fact that God did not “leave” Jesus in hell implies that Jesus was in hell, or Hades, at least for a time, does it not?)

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 2

When Jesus spoke of hell lots of the time he was talking about being separated from God, right? Isn't that what Hell really is, being apart from God?

Answer 3

I will have nothing to do with a SAGE or MYSTIC .I believe in Jesus and he describes hell very clearly and very often.

Answer 4

i sure hope there is no hell
if there isnt i take back much of what i have said about the christian god
but i think he also spoke of a lake of fire, and other things alluding to some form of punishment for non-believers

Answer 5

I take it you are a simple minded non-believer.
