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 .

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"wink, and Gothic halja .
