Re-read the thread. Get the gist of what I wrote. Look up the original words that were TRANSLATED to "hell". Bring those words back here and present your case as to why they mean "hell".
They sold you the lie, you bought the lie, you rejected the lie.
You don't have to still believe the lie numbnuts!
An interesting question, if only marginally so. They mean hell because they form the basis, in part, of what is meant by the word "hell" when someone uses it today. You having any luck with the search function?
That this place doesn't exist in reality, that it is a lie bought and sold should't even require mention. You aren't opening any non-believers eyes with that particular statement.
Small extracts of the link I posted:
"The Greek word
translated as`hell’ is
“geenna”, which 12 times in the New Testament.
This Greek word is a transliteration of the
Aramaic word “gehinnam.” The Aramaic word
is itself a transliteration of the Hebrew phrase --
begei ben hinnom. It would seem that the
translators would have reflected the Hebrew
meaning of the word in their work."
"the Greek word is a transliteration of the
Aramaicword“gehinnam.”The Aramaic word
is also a transliteration of the Hebrew phrase gehinnom. Let’s see what happens when we
translate it. The translation of “ge-“ is “valley
of.” “Hinnom” was the name of a person.
Therefore the correct translation is “ valley of Hinnom.”

If you don't then you should say so and specify which parts you do believe to be true, if any.
Wow, you've read what I wrote and still need to ask if I think the NT is true? You're hopeless man, really hopeless.
But anyways, you're kinda a retard for arguing with me that hell is real since you just stated that you don't believe any of it. You coulda saved yourself a whole shitload of anguish had you just said in the beginning "yeah catfish, you're right. Hell is a lie...".
have fun
I'm not arguing hell is real. If you paid any attention and weren't such a putrid waste of flesh you'd know that. Of course I'm also at fault, I assumed someone who reasons like they've been drop-kicked down the stairs afew times as a child would actually comprehend what I was writing.
I'm arguing that if you believe hell is not real and that it is a mistranslation then you cannot seriously believe any of the New Testament.
I want a clear answer; do you think the New Testament is true or not.
Answer or run away.
Your choice.
