Was hell a later invention to scare believers?

RE: Was hell a later invention to scare believers?
I rather doubt that the "authentic" letters of paul were written by anyone named "paul."  The best one could say about them was that they started out as a collection of letters written by one person and were then subjected to extensive editing.

Whether or not this means that they are still "authentic" is a discussion for another day.
