In Romans 3:23 it says, 'for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' And in Romans 6:23 it says, 'For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Hell is a translated term from 3 Greek and 1 Hebrew term. The most common term is 'hades' in the Greek and 'sheol' in the Hebrew. Both simply mean the grave or pit. In this sense, we all (except the firstfruits in the 1st Resurrection) die and go to the grave (water, fire, or ground).

Sin is sin and John was inspired to record in 1 John 3:4, 'Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.

Yet, while in this world, we each have our chances to correct our sinful ways and follow the narrow path like our only example Jesus Christ. As Peter told the people in Acts 2:38, 'Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This is the Spirit of God aka the Spirit of Christ that enters a repentant, baptized person to assist/help that individual overcome the pulls of the flesh in this world.

The vast majority of human beings will be raised to the judgement process spoken of in the Scriptures. Those who never knew Jesus/God or never heard of Him correctly or fell short in this world without being called by God (John 6:44;65), will have their chance to prove they desire God's way and no other. This event will occur post the Millennial Rule of 1000 years from Jesus' 2nd Coming. This does not mean we can willfully sin in this lifetime knowing we are doing so. This action puts the individual close to the Resurrection of the incorrigible and wicked - the 3rd and final Resurrection. Their fate is the 2nd death - ashes under the feet of the Saints - wiped out of the Book of Life.

Will you burn to death in hell?

No. People in hell will already be physically dead. I think hell will be hell because in this place people are separated from God.


Will you go to hell for cursing?

No.But if you don't except the Lord as your love and savior you will go to hell.The reason people go to hell is not having received Christ as Savior and Lord and not having their sins forgiven. According to the Bible, ANY unforgiven sin can take you to hell, no matter what particular sin it is. But you can ask Jesus to save you and forgive you, and you can repent (turn away) from your sins and then you won't have to go to hell.


How many times was hell written in the Old Testament?

None. The Israelites believed in the concept of Sheol, which is literally the "Grave". This was incorrectly translated as "Hell" in the 17th Century, but in modern translations, you will not find the word, "Hell" anywhere in the Old Testament. Now, it is correctly translated, "Grave". In the Old Testament, the afterlife was a mystery, and Israelites had no concept of Hell. It was sometime during the 400 years between the end of the Old Testament and the birth of Jesus Christ, that the Pharisees and Essenes started believing in the concept of Hell. The Sadducees however, did not believe in Hell.

Who is hell intended for?

God created hell for Satan (Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire (Hell), prepared for the devil and his angels). Those who do not follow Jesus will end up in hell since they chose to follow Satan instead of Jesus - the only way to heaven.
