Hello All

Hell in Arabic is spelled as Dje-hen-nam. It comes for the Hebrew Gehenna. The Gehenna Valley in Israel is a place where they made child sacrifices to Baal in ancient times.

The idea of the devil in Abrahamic religions has also its sources in the East. In Zoroastrianism there are two competing Gods the Gods that we know of (Ahura Mazda) and the God of Evil (Ahriman). And this is how the Devil has appeared.

And that’s all I can say about this subject. But in my understanding “sin” is an archery term. It means that you missed the mark. And as a result of such errors, you may be suffering issues right here right now (in this life). True religion (of any kind) is basically an attempt to show you how to rectify these errors.

But one thing that I have in common with you is this: I am kind of scared of the Hindu way of seeing the afterlife. They believe for instance that people who suffered violent deaths may stay in limbo in a totally painful situation for many years.

But I’m not an expert in that either. So talk to your therapist and do not worry about these things a lot. These are deeper subjects with deeper meanings. No one is going to devour your soul after you die, I can guarantee you that
