I suppose he'd have a point, if hell and sheol were the same place...but since they aren't...he just comes off like another head struck too many times by the pew.
No, sheol and gehenna are not exactly the same...gehenna is what we would refer to as hell today.
However, are there some further distinctions about them you care to make?
MY point was that as a Jew, Jesus grew up within a culture that had certain ideas about life after death that are consistent with the Christian view of Hell.
And, since Jesus was God, He was in a position to speak authoritatively on the matter of judgement of the righteous and unrighteous.
