What Is Hell? Is It a Place of Eternal Torment? The Bible’s answer Some Bible translations use the word “hell” for the Hebrew word “Sheol” and the matching Greek word “Hades,” both of which refer to the common grave of mankind. ( Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:27 ) Many people believe in a fiery hell, as shown in the religious artwork accompanying this article. However, the Bible teaches otherwise. 1. Those in hell are unconscious and so cannot feel pain. “There is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol.”— Ecclesiastes 9:10 . 2. Good people go to hell. The faithful men Jacob and Job expected to go there.— Genesis 37:35; Job 14:13 . 3. Death, not torment in a fiery hell, is the penalty for sin. “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.”— Romans 6:7 . 4. Eternal torment would violate God’s justice. (Deuteronomy 32:4 ) When the first man, Adam, sinned, God told him that his punishment would simply be to pass out of existence: “Dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Genesis 3:19 ) God would have been lying if he were actually sending Adam to a fiery hell. 5. God does not even contemplate eternal torment. The idea that he would punish people in hellfire is contrary to the Bible’s teaching that “God is love.”— 1 John 4:8; Jeremiah 7:31 . www.jw.org |

The modern English word Hell is derived from Old English hel, helle (about 725 AD to refer to a nether world of the dead) reaching into the Anglo-Saxon pagan period, and ultimately from Proto-Germanic *halja , meaning "one who covers up or hides something". [1] The word has cognates in related Germanic languages such as Old Frisian helle , hille, Old Saxon hellja , Middle Dutch helle (modern Dutch hel ), Old High German helle (Modern German Hölle ), Danish , Norwegian and Swedish "helvede"/ helvete (hel + Old Norse vitti , "punishment" whence the Icelandic víti "hell", and Gothic halja . www.wikipedia.com |
