Why The Teaching Of Hell Fire Is A Lie Or Myth by supercase1(m): 7:38pm On Nov 24, 2019
Christians today have been deceived or are confused about the teaching of hell whereby the evil doers would torment in an everlasting fire. I hereby create this thread to enlighten fellow Christians why this teaching is false
HELL:a word in many translations which read the grave it's translated from the Hebrew word shéohl and it's Greek equivalent haídes which both means 'GRAVE' or BURIAL PLACE not a burning fire for evil people because the Bible was translated from Hebrew and Greek languages okay!!!!!
What the Bible say about the state of the dead
Ecclesiates 9:5,10 says the living are conscious that they will die but the dead they know nothing for all their hates love work perishes with them the moment they die,
Psalm 146:4 states his spirit goes out, he goes back to the ground on that day his thoughts do perish
Ezekekel 18:4:states a soul that is sinning will die meaning a person who commit sin will die
When God destroyed SODOM and GOMORRAH with fire for immoral activities the fire is no longer burning or neither the people of Sodom and Gomorrah are tormenting in 'HELL' rather they where totally destroyed and Sodom and Gomorrah still remain in ruins down to this day
the Bible said in Psalm 9:17;that the wicked would be turned into hell..... and all nations that forget God (HELL): here refer to death or destruction that God would executes on evil doers on the last day
WHY SO MUCH CONFUSION ABOUT HELL
many of the early Bible translators rendered shéol,Hades,and Gehenna by the word Hell these Hebrew and Greek words simply meant the grave AND NOT AN EVERLASTING BURNING FIRE
so stop been confused hell means the GRAVE and not a place of everlasting torment

thank you for reading the post back to your question
First and foremost this was an illustration as u know Jesus uses illustrations alot during his teachings e.g the ten virgins,the sower, the prodigal son etc back to the question
During Jesus times we had the Pharisees a group of self acclaimed followers of god they viewed d common people of the land with contempt or as sinners and see them selves as Superior or most righteous this led them to a faceoff with Jesus pls read Luke 16:14 -31 here the rich man refered to the greedy and selfish religious leaders while Lazarus referred to the common people of the land who the Pharisees looked as inferior or common while on the final days the Pharisees or false prophets would be devoted to destruction the common and deprived people of the land who accepted Jesus would be saved and delivered into everlasting life
Note the use of Abraham in that verse meant that the righous people of the land would achieve everlasting life. We all know Abraham is a rightous man in God memory although dead.these evil religious leaders refused to accept the kingdom message proclaimed by jhon d Baptist and Jesus teachings in the land hence the were"tormented" by it
Remember THE ILLUSTRATION REFERRED TO THE HYPOCRITICAL RRLIGIOUS LEADERS IN JESUS DAY AND THE LOWLY PEOPLE OF THE LAND THEY LOOKED DOWN UPON.there is a lot we can learn from this parable!!!!!!

How can a rich man burning literally in a fire ask for water to cool his tongue? does that make any sense to you? why does he have a tongue, seeing that he is a spirit? and do spirits get thirsty? would water satisfy them?
Come on, this parable is not a teaching about hell but a warning to the rich pharisees who despised the common people, to let them know that in God's eyes they are the ones who are poor and hungry, lacking even a drop of the water of life( the word of God) while Lazarus representing the poor in spirit have the true wealth in the spiritual realm( the eyes of God) and hold the true legacy of father Abraham. lt has nothing to do with your doctrine of everlasting torture in a literal burning inferno.
