Interestingly, the concept of Hell and eternal punishment etc wasn't really part of the picture until JC appeared on stage. Points for recognising the evil nature of the idea though.

Jesus Christ’s Words are Misunderstood and Mistranslated.

John 12:32-33
But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.
Luke 23:34
Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.
Matthew 21:31
Which of the two did the will of his father?" They said to Him, "The first." Jesus said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you that tax collectors and harlots enter the kingdom of God before you."

Jesus never believed in hell, as evident by the above verses.

Your bible describes it in loving detail in several different books. Is it wrong?

Mister Sir Ryantology, as I mentioned before, its been mistranslated and misinterpreted. There is no hell, no place for toture and torment for eternity. Its been wrongly preached.

The New Testament refers to Hell more than 160 times. Jesus himself talks about it at least 70 times.

If your book is that badly mistranslated and/or misinterpreted, the whole thing is certainly worthless.

king james bible has another point of view :

Quote:I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth. {31:17} They also went down into hell with him unto [them that be] slain with the sword; and [they that were] his arm, [that] dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen.

Quote:And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: {9:46} Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. {9:47} And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: {9:48} Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. {9:49} For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. {9:50} Salt [is] good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

the fire, that will never quench, interesting...so jesus was playing games with us ?

No no, Messrs Sirs Ryantology and AtlasS, you've got it all wrong. The bible has been studied scrupulously for millennia, scholars and priests alike have all got fat researching its profound mysteries; but it wasn't until Mistress Lady Christian came along with his special knowledge that we finally learn what the words really mean and what God really meant to say if only he hadn't been misquoted. None so blind as those that will not see and all that.

Mister Sir Ryantology,

Gehenna has been mistranslated to mean hell in Versions of the Bible which support the doctrine of hell.

It is Jesus Christ Himself who uses the Greek word gehenna , for as many as 11 out of the 12 times that gehenna occurs in the Bible, for example in Matthew 18:9

When Jesus Christ uses the term gehenna fire as in Matthew 18:9, He does not mean everlasting tormenting hell fire. By the term gehenna fire, Jesus means God’s age lasting refining fire on the Day of Judgement.

This.......doesn't make any sense !!! the fire will not be quenched ! jesus told us that ..I'm confused.
