Where in the bible does it talk about the creation of hell?

Answer 1

here are some lines from The Bible where it talks about hell.

(1) Everyone will exist eternally either in heaven or hell (Daniel 12:2,3;

(2) Everyone has only one life in which to determine their destiny (Hebrews 9:27).

(3) Hell is conscious torment.

• Matthew 13:50 "furnace of fire…weeping and gnashing of teeth"
• Mark 9:48 "where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched"
• Revelation 14:10 "he will be tormented with fire and brimstone"

(4) Hell is eternal and irreversible.

• Revelation 14:11 "the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever and they have no rest day and night"
• Revelation 20:14 "This is the second death, the lake of fire"
• Revelation 20:15 "If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire"

Erroneous Views of Hell(1) The second chance view - After death there is still a way to escape hell.

Answer: "It is appointed unto men once to die and after that the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).

(2) Universalism - All are eternally saved.

Answer: It denies the truth of salvation through Christ which means that a person decides to either trust in Christ or else he/she rejects Christ and goes to hell (John 3:16;3:36).

(3) Annihilationism - Hell means a person dies like an animal - ceases to exist.

Answer: It denies the resurrection of the unsaved (John 5:28, etc. - see above). It denies conscious torment (see above).

Objections to the Biblical View of Hell(1) A loving God would not send people to a horrible hell.

Response: God is just (Romans 2:11).

• God has provided the way of salvation to all (John 3:16,17; 2 Corinthians 5:14,15; 1 Timothy 2:6; 4:10; Titus 2:11; 2 Peter 3:9).
• Even those who haven't heard of Christ are accountable for God's revelation in nature (Romans 1:20). God will seek those who seek Him (Matthew 7:7; Luke 19:10).
• Therefore God doesn't send people to hell, they choose it (Romans 1:18,21,25).

(2) Hell is too severe a punishment for man's sin.

Response: God is holy-perfect (1 Peter 1:14,15).

• Sin is willful opposition to God our creator (Romans 1:18-32).
• Our sin does merit hell (Romans 1:32; 2:2,5,6).
• What is unfair and amazing is that Christ died for our sin and freely offers salvation to all (Romans 2:4; 3:22-24; 4:7,8; 5:8,9).

Biblical Terms Describing Where the Dead Are

• Sheol - a Hebrew term simply describing "the grave" or "death" - Does not refer to "hell" specifically
• Hades - A Greek term that usually refers to hell - a place of torment (Luke 10:15; 16:23, etc.)
• Gehenna - A Greek term (borrowed from a literal burning dump near Jerusalem) that always refers to hell - a place of torment (Matthew 5:30; 23:33)
• "Lake of fire"- the final abode of unbelievers after they are resurrected (Revelation 20:14,15)
• "Abraham's bosom" - (Luke 16:22) a place of eternal comfort
• "Paradise" - (Luke 23:43) a place of eternal comfort
• "With the Lord" - a key phrase describes where church age believers are after death (Philippians 1:23; 1 Thessalonians 4:17; 2 Corinthians 5:8)
• "New heavens and earth" - where believers will be after they are resurrected (Revelation 20:4-6; 21:1-4)

ConclusionOur curiosity about the abode of the dead is not completely satisfied by biblical terms or verses. What we do know is that either eternal torment in hell or eternal joy in heaven awaits all people after death, based on whether they trust in Christ's payment for sin or reject Christ.\

i hope i could help.

Answer 2

Three Greek words often translated "hell" are hades, gehenna and tartaroo. Hades was the Greek god of the underworld and the underworld itself. The Septuagint used hades to translate the Hebrew Sheol. In the Old Testament, distinction in the fates of the righteous and the wicked was not always clear. In the New Testament, hades refers to a place of torment opposed to heaven as the place of Abraham's bosom (Luke 16:23, Acts 2:27,31). In Matthew 16:18, hades is not simply a place of the dead but represents the power of the underworld. Gehenna is the Greek form of two Hebrew words ge hinnom meaning "valley of Hinnom", a ravine on the south side of Jerusalem where pagan deities worshiped (2Kings 23:10, Jer. 7:32, 2 Chron. 28:3, 33:6). It became a garbage dump and a place of abomination where fire burned continuously (2 Kings 23:10). Tartaroo ("cast into hell", 2 Peter 2:4) referred in classical Greek to a subterranean region, doleful and dark, regarded by the ancient Greeks as the abode of the wicked dead, a place of punishment. Peter referred to the place of punishment for rebellious angels. Language about hell seeks to describe for humans the most awful punishment human language can describe to warn unbelievers before it is too late (Matthew 8:12, 22:13, 25:30).

Additional Comments:

Biblically speaking, hades or sheol is the grave or pit. Here bodies decompose back into the ground over time. The spirit or 'memory' or spiritual recording and mold of the person like a computer of sorts returns to God as Solomon told us in Ecclesiastes 12:7. There is nothing happening in the pit as the person knows nothing as if sleeping. Ideas of torment, fire, etc. come out of the Divine Comedy of Dante incorporated into the main Church.

The parable of Abraham's bosom with Lazarus & the Rich Man is an allegory for the end-times when the Lake of Fire will enlarge and purge the earth and beyond (2 Peter 3:12).

Philosophies of the Greeks/Romans, etals.. as well as, man interpreting the Bible is the wrong way to learn. If our fate was decided upon death, then why does the Bible and Christ speak of the future Resurrection from the dead? Remember, Jesus states that no man goes to heaven except the Son of Man (John 3:13). And after the Resurrections, death and hell will be cast into the Lake of Fire - which is the 2nd death (Revelations 20:14). Why would you need a 2nd death if the first death placed you in this imagined hell? Lastly, a New Heaven will descend to a New Earth and God will make His tabernacle with men in the New Jerusalem (Revelation 21:1-3). Read it for yourself and believe no other.

Answer 3

none there is no such place when lazaro dies jesus talks about him going to sleep not to hell or heaven

==========

Is that right?

ANSWER:

The bible uses 3 Greek and 1 Hebrew word translated into English as 'hell.' In the Greek they are, hades, gehenna, and tartaroo. The Hebrew uses 'sheol' which is equivalent to the Greek hades which simply means the 'grave or pit.' Gehenna is a reference to the 'trash dump' that was continually on fire just outside of the city. It pictures the Lake of Fire in which the parable of Lazarus and the beggar is an allegory for. And tartaroo is used only once as the place of restraint for the rebellious angels. Death in the Bible is described as sleep, awaiting their resurrection to Judgement process.

As you can see from the above or you may get a Bible tool such as a dictionary, concordance or a commentary, there are no Scriptures speaking of an eternal place of torture for human sinners with demons and Satan in charge of suffering. These ideas come out of literature, particularly Dante's Inferno. The same is true of the 3 heavens; sky, space, God's throne. No one ascended to heaven except Jesus (John 3:13). Just read it for yourself :)
