Jews do not believe in eternal Hell. The closest concept in Judaism is Geh-Hinom, which is a desert valley where pagan human sacrifices were once performed. Later it became used as a garbage dump.

Answer:The above is mistaken. Jews do indeed believe in reward and punishment after death; and it is listed as one of the most fundamental of Jewish beliefs (Rambam, introduction to Shemonah Perakim). In some cases, the punishment is eternal (Talmud, Nedarim 8; Rosh Hashanah 17a).

The Talmud borrows the word "gehinnom" to refer to the punishment of wicked souls, but the tradition itself predates the use of that particular word.

There is no concept of seven layers of hell in Jewish belief. Judaism does not have a detailed or fixed concept of hell like some other religions do. Instead, Judaism focuses more on the concept of the afterlife and the idea of "Gehenna," which is often interpreted as a temporary place of spiritual purification rather than a permanent hellish punishment.

How is hell fire being seriously taught in light of Matthew 10 28 and Ezekiel 18 4?

AnswerEzekiel 18:4 is consistent with much of modern Jewish belief about the afterlife, in which the souls of those who were sinners die. However, Christian belief differs, in having a universal belief that the souls of those who were sinners go to a place of punishment in hell. Matthew 10:28 was written at a time (late first century CE) when both Jewish and Christian views about the afterlife were in a state of flux. Although hell has not always been thought of as being a fiery place, eternity in fire is one of the most exquisite tortures imaginable.
