A person's acceptance of the concept of Hell is out of their own faith in the Christian God and the idea is that one day a higher power will do justice in their lives. This gives them reason to cling to their faith, and hope that evil will be abolished permanently.

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 invented hell?

It is notably featured in religious texts such as the Bible, the Quran, and in mythologies from different regions.


Can you be in the middle of hell and heaven?

No, not literally. You are here on earth, an actual place where you are living your life. There is scientific proof that earth exists, and proof that the human beings who live on earth also exist. But heaven and hell are part of a religious belief system, and neither can be proved-- they can only be believed, and they exist in the world of faith. Sometimes people will say they feel they are trapped between heaven and hell, and they use that metaphor to describe a situation that has moments of great happiness (heaven) and moments that are horribly painful (hell). And yes, some very religious people do see life on earth as a preparation for either heaven (if you do good) or hell (if you do evil).
