Answer 1

Yes, but "hell" is misunderstood by most self-described Christians.

Most of mankind's dead are simply in a sleep-like state of non-existence, awaiting resurrection after Armageddon.

(John 11:11,14,23-25) [Jesus] said to them: “Lazarus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep.” ...Jesus said to them outspokenly: “Lazarus has died... Jesus said to [Martha]: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life

(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.


The bible teaches that "hell" is *NOT* a fiery place of torment, but is actually the common grave of mankind. There is no suffering in "hell", or the grave. Sometime after the resurrection (once the grave is "empty"), death and "hell" will themselves be destroyed.

(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all

(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]

(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades ["hell"] were hurled into the lake of fire


The bible plainly teaches that a "soul" can die. In both Hebrew and Greek, original language words translated "soul" simply mean "a life", with no implication regarding some immortal otherworldly entity. Each deceased life is in Jehovah God's remembrance (with the potential for future resurrection), but the dead do not exist anywhere but memories until and unless the life is resurrected.

(Ezekiel 18:4) The soul that is sinning - it itself will die.

(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all

(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]

(Genesis 2:17) But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.”

(Genesis 17:14) And an uncircumcised male who will not get the flesh of his foreskin circumcised, even that soul must be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant.”

(Judges 16:30) And Samson proceeded to say: “Let my soul die with the Philistines.” Then he bent himself with power, and the house went falling upon the axis lords and upon all the people that were in it, so that the dead that he put to death in his own death came to be more than those he had put to death during his lifetime.

(Job 33:22) And his soul draws near to the pit, And his life to those inflicting death.

(Psalm 78:50) He did not hold back their soul from death itself; And their life he handed over even to the pestilence.

(Isaiah 53:12) he poured out his soul to the very death

(Acts 3:23) Indeed, any soul that does not listen to that Prophet will be completely destroyed from among the people.’

(Revelation 16:3) And the second one poured out his bowl into the sea. And it became blood as of a dead man, and every living soul died, yes, the things in the sea.


For the vast majority of mankind, their eternal hope is unending peaceful productive life in perfect human bodies in a restored paradise earth.

(Psalm 37:10,11,29) And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be. 11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth, And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. ...The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it.


Bible students may recall this is exactly the life that Adam and Eve enjoyed before they introduced sinful imperfection and the issue of universal sovereignty. It is Christ Jesus who settles the issue and redeems mankind for all time.

(Genesis 2:15-17) Jehovah God proceeded to take the man and settle him in the garden of Eden to cultivate it and to take care of it. 16 And Jehovah God also laid this command upon the man: “From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.” [note that abstaining from that one fruit would mean the man would never die]

(Romans 5:12,14) Through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men ...death ruled as king from Adam

(1 Corinthians 15:22) For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive

Answer 2

Hey Rodney,

You sound a bit possessed - liking the idea of people burning in hell forever... even for say doing bad, (or even just not so good) for just a few years here on earth. But since ."the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all" (Ecclesiastes 9:5) Hell can't exist as the dead would be alive and aware of the torment you seem to promote. Thus you are perpetuating the original lie "you positively will NOT die", guess who said that! LOL

We have bigger "problems" than that... we deny your god! We think Jesus is a created being... and he is not God's equal! One of us is blasphemous.... however, we at least listen to Jesus when he said directly "the Father is greater than I am." (John 14:28)

So, at least we can say we believed Jesus' own words... all the best... I doubt that fear and loathing is going to get you far...

Answer 3

Funny. I've noticed that it's not only the JWs who preach about a "cool" hell nowadays.

Those preaching a "burning hell" are reducing in number. Maybe people are finally opening their Bibles because of those "annoying" Saturday morning callers?

Answer 4

Hey Rodney, I'm not a JW and I don't believe the doctrine of eternal torment is biblical. Here are just 2 of many texts which support this belief. "The wages of sin is death" & "The soul that sinneth, it shall die."

Answer 5

while I am a Christian, Rodney, and I applaud what you are trying to do and say,
try not to come on so strong, it only provokes people and closes the door to an open debate or conversation.

just a suggestion.

Answer 6

God forgives all...

However, JW's have a different outlook on life... one that I don't agree with.

Enjoy your life and whatever it is that makes you happy.

Answer 7

I would hate to find out that I was wrong about this, the hard way...God is clear in his scriptures, and all can read and study his word for all it is wouth...Many choose to have someone else dictate scripture for them...serious mistake.

Answer 8

If God is loving why would he send you to hell if there was a god and a such place as hell?
