What does the bible say hell will be like?

Question

please be specific and back up your answers with verses from the bible. also, please tell what you think each verse means.

Answer 1

Actually, hell is another word for grave, not a place of eternal torment and woe. Sorry, I can't remember where the verse is, but the Bible says that the living are conscious of the fact that they will die. The dead are conscious of nothing at all. That sounds like it means we don't need to worry about pain after we've died. I don't think we go straight to Paradise, either. Jesus raised Lazarus from the grave. If Lazarus had been in Paradise before Jesus raised him, that wouldn't have been very nice. And Lazarus was Jesus' friend. Who would drag their friend back from Paradise just to make somebody else happy? Jesus isn't selfish like that.

Answer 2

Steeney Maldini, According to the Bible .... there is no such place as Hell , your question makes no sense.

Which word are you using as Hell ?
1) “ Sheol ” 2) " Hades ” 3) " Gehenna " and 4) " Tartarus " are not hell.

1) Sheol is the gloomy place of the dead.
2) Hades is a Greek mythical realm.
3) Gehenna is where you go to be judge for your lifes deeds ( a kind of waiting room ) .
The name Gehenna comes from the name of a valley outside Jerusalem where children were sacrificed to the Ammonite god Molech.
4) Tartarus is the Greek mythical underworld of Hades.

Where is Hell in the Bible ?

Personally it is my belief the Hell concept was developed by the Christians as a means to control the population and stop the flock from straying – to frighten little children and Atheists into in believing.

Answer 3

Note that all of these references below make it clear that the wicked die and are destroyed. They do not live forever in misery. The wages of sin is death, not a eternal life of torture.

The Bible says the wicked suffer "death" (Romans 6:23), will suffer "destruction" (Job 21:30), "shall perish" (Psalms 37:20), will "burn" up (Malachi 4:1), "shall be destroyed together" (Psalms 37:38), will "consume away" (Psalms 37:20), "shall be cut off" (Psalms 37:9), "shall be slain" (Psalms 62:3). God will "destroy" them (Psalms 145:20), and "fire shall devour them" (Psalms 21:9).


Hell is not a place that is burning now but will in the end of the world when Jesus comes back:
"So shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man ... shall cast them into a furnace of fire." Matthew 13:40-42. "They went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them." Revelation 20:9.

Answer 4

my life + flames.

the bible says a lot on hell. why dont you just pick up a bible and look it up. jesus spoke more on hell then on heaven so anywhere in the NT ought to suit you. And a few OT books as well. It's eternal sepearation from God where the soul lives on in eteranal torment. plus some things about fire and junk; that doesnt bother me, but the seperation from God does, that's why i dont intend on going there.

Answer 5

The King James Version rendered she’ohl´ as “hell,” “the grave,” and “the pit”; hai´des is therein rendered both “hell” and “grave”
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.
Eccl. 9:5, 10: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all . . . All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol,* the place to which you are going.” (If they are conscious of nothing, they obviously feel no pain.) (*“Sheol,” AS, RS, NE, JB; “the grave,” KJ, Kx; “hell,” Dy; “the world of the dead,” TEV.)
Ps. 146:4: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts* do perish.” (*“Thoughts,” KJ, 145:4 in Dy; “schemes,” JB; “plans,” RS, TEV.)
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?) (*“Hell,” Dy; “death,” NE; “the place of death,” Kx; “the world of the dead,” TEV; “Hades,” AS, RS, JB, NW.)

Answer 6

Torment, guilt, pain, lonliness, suffering, burning, desperation that never is satisfied, eternally. We know it is eternal because the book of Revelation says that the lake of fire is eternal.

And it's EASY to not have to go there. All you have to do is believe in this life that Jesus, who is God, died for our sins on the cross and rose again.
