Hell/ Fire believers? What do you say ?

Question

No truly accomplished New Testament scholar, for instance, believes that later Christianity’s opulent mythology of God’s eternal torture chamber is clearly present in the scriptural texts. It’s entirely absent from St. Paul’s writings; the only eschatological fire he ever mentions brings salvation to those whom it tries (1 Corinthians 3:15). Neither is it found in the other New Testament epistles, or in any extant documents (like the Didache) from the earliest post-apostolic period. There are a few terrible, surreal, allegorical images of judgment in the Book of Revelation, but nothing that, properly read, yields a clear doctrine of eternal torment. Even the frightening language used by Jesus in the Gospels, when read in the original Greek, fails to deliver the infernal dogmas we casually assume to be there.

The punishment of the wicked dead in hell is described throughout Scripture as “eternal fire” (Matt. 25:41), “unquenchable fire” (Matt. 3:12), “shame and everlasting contempt” (Dan. 12:2), a place where “the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9:44-49), a place of “torment” and “fire” (Luke 16:23-24), “everlasting destruction” (2 Thes. 1:9), a place where “the smoke of torment rises forever and ever” (Rev. 14:10-11), and a “lake of burning sulfur” where the wicked are “tormented day and night forever and ever” (Rev. 20:10).

Because we have all sinned against a perfectly holy and righteous God, we all deserve eternal separation from God in hell (Rom. 6:23). However, God loves us so much that He sent His only Son Jesus to die on the cross as our Substitute so we don't have to go to hell. Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the grave three days later (1 Cor. 15:3-4). He gives eternal life freely to anyone who simply believes in Him for it. No one can be saved by doing good works. Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone (Eph. 2:8-9).

"Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life" (John 6:47).

Fire is usually a good threatening. 
However  in some Himalayan spiritualities it's a Hell of ice because for those people, ice can kill when fire feels good.

There are terrible accounts of hell in the Apocalypse of Peter, which probably dates from the same period as the book of Revelation.

Hell / Fire = Something that believers should have 
put behind them when their wisdom teeth came in.

Paul · Answer

The Bible repeatedly speaks of Hell, using such terms as "eternal fire," "outer darkness," "a place of weeping and torment," the "lake of fire," the "second death," and "unquenchable fire." Why would Paul speak of it when so many earlier biblical writers had already done so?

Heidi Ho · Answer

Hell wasn't even mentioned in the epistles. Metaphors, Greek "Tartarus", Jewish "Sheol", Jewish "Lake of Fire", and "Hades", the Greek God of the underworld were all mistranslated as the Christian created concept of Hell.
