Certainly. I also recognize that hades was the usual greek translation for the hebrew sheol, and that there are verses regarding eternal suffering which don't use hades.

So, are you asserting the NT was written in Hebrew? Gehenna is also used in the NT. Why transliterate one and not the other?
What about in Jude 1:7 where eternal is referenced to Sodom and Gomorrah suffering the torments of eternal fire. Is the fire eternal or the suffering?
