Why do people think hell is non-biblical?

Question

Lake of fire.... Place where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.... ????

Answer 1

Because they don't think that God is a just God...

Which He is.....

Trust in Christ = Heaven
Non-belief = Hell

Plain & simple truth

Answer 2

The Lake of Fire is not hell. Read Rev... it expressly states that hell will be thrown into the Lake of Fire. How can you throw hell into itself? Then go back and read the Old Test, where several people were put in "hell" yet it shows that it is the grave. Then it tells you that you know nothing in the grave, but then tells you that people are looking up from it asking God to help while they are watching their friends, who are still alive, etc.

Answer 3

In the original Hebrew and Greek languages in which the Bible was written, four words are translated "hell" in English. The four words convey three different meanings.

The Hebrew word sheol, used in the Old Testament, has the same meaning as hades, one of the Greek words translated "hell" in the New Testament.

The Anchor Bible Dictionary explains the meaning of both words: "The Greek word Hades ... is sometimes, but misleadingly, translated 'hell' in English versions of the N[ew] T[estament]. It refers to the place of the dead ... The old Hebrew concept of the place of the dead, most often called Sheol ... is usually translated as Hades, and the Greek term was naturally and commonly used by Jews writing in Greek" (1992, Vol. 3, p. 14, "Hades, Hell").

Answer 4

Because biblical implies - to Xians - that there's a real place,
and to the rest of the globe (a vast majority, BTW), the Bible is just a book - hence hell is very much *not* a real place.
[Edit]: To correct Ans. 1: A "just God", or "unjust", is irrelevant, given many people understand God to be a creation of man.

Answer 5

The lake of fire is reserved for Satan and his followers who were kicked out of Heaven. There is no mention of any hell for the humans on Earth.

Answer 6

There will be a destruction of the wicked, no doubt. But no just God would torment someone for eternity for a brief lifetime of sin. This is false doctrine and not biblical. The wages of sin is death, not eternal life in hell.

Answer 7

I am catholic and there simply is no such a place, and if there is then it's right here on earth.
