The New Testament scriptures [original manuscripts] have not changed from then to now. Hell has always been a part of the revelation of the New Testament.Maybe that's because Christianity incorporated Greek and Persian religious beliefs about such things as hell, eternal punishment, angels, demons, spirits, resurrection.
Or maybe Greek and Persian religious beliefs were incorporated from Judaism and subsequently Christianity.
Or maybe the shared religious beliefs are true.
Determining the origin or process of the development of a belief doesn't invalidate the belief (genetic fallacy).

If it could be proven beyond doubt that God exists...
and that He is the one spoken of in the Bible...
would you repent of your sins and place your faith in Jesus Christ?
