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.
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.
