What does the Bible say about Hell?

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.”

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

Where was Adam before God formed him from the dust and gave him life? Why, he simply did not exist. At his death Adam returned to the same lifeless, unconscious state. He went neither to a fiery hell nor to heavenly bliss, but died—as God saiIn the Hebrew Scriptures of the Bible the word “hell” is translated from the Hebrew word sheol′. This word occurs 65 times in all. The King James Version of the Bible, however, translates sheol′ 31 times as “hell,” 31 times as “grave,” and 3 times as “pit.” The Catholic Douay Version of the Bible translates sheol′ as “hell” 63 times and as “pit” once and as “death” once. In the Christian Greek Scriptures the word “hell” is sometimes translated from the Greek word hádes. Both the King James and Douay versions translate hádes as “hell” in each of its ten occurrences.
Is hell a hot place? Do sheol′ and hádes refer to some place where the wicked suffer after death? It is plain that they do not, for we have already seen that the dead are not conscious and therefore cannot suffer. The Bible does not contradict itself with regard to the condition of those in hell. This is proved by the fact that the Bible says that Jesus was in hell. (Acts 2:31, AV, Dy) When the apostle Peter stated this on the day of Pentecost, he clearly meant that Jesus had been in the grave, not in a place of fiery torment. (1 Corinthians 15:3, 4) In saying this the apostle quoted from Psalm 16:10 [15:10, Dy]. Here the Hebrew word sheol′ was used, and at Acts 2:31 this word is translated by the Greek word hádes. This shows that sheol′ and hádes refer to the same thing. The Bible “hell” is actually mankind’s grave.d he would.—Genesis 2:17.

Answer 3

Um, yeah, I believe the 1st answerer. i became going to declare that hades is the Greek be conscious that is written as Hell in some translations of the Bible, yet that Hades basically skill grave. and that i became additionally going to point that the perception or theory-approximately hell seems to come again from the non-cease fire exterior the partitions of Jerusalem that became talked approximately as Gehenna. that's the placement the place all their rubbish and stuff became destroyed, and that's the place the thought-approximately eternal damnation comes from. Jesus suggested that those that once devil is unleashed after he has been in an abyss for a million,000 years he would be set loose to place "proper" mankind to one final try. those that turn their backs on God (after taking area in a million,000 years of peace) would be tossed into the lake of fire (nicely-known through fact the 2d loss of life) ...yet i assume you have figured all that out with the help of now? ...

Answer 4

Well,from what i read, there are 2 kinds of hell mentioned in Luke.
One is Hades where the righteous and unrighteous alike await resurrection and judgment (similar to 1st century "sheol"). In some descriptions, Hades has two sections, the bosom of Abraham for the righteous and a place of torment for the unrighteous, with a chasm or abyss separating them. In Eastern Orthodox teaching, hades is the presence of Christ, which is light and rest for the righteous and the opposite for the unrighteous[2]. Western Christianity does not generally include hades in its cosmology; instead, the righteous and unrighteous go to different afterlife destinations, and the terms "sheol" and "hades" are commonly translated as "Hell."
i forgot the name of the other one, but that hell,when spirits go there, the stay there forever.
