Hell in the Bible

The word “hell” is used 54 times in the Bible. It is translated from several different words with various meanings, as indicated below:

In the Old Testament:

  • 31 times from the Hebrew “Sheol,” which means
    “the grave”

In the New Testament:
  • 10 times from the Greek “Hades,” which means
    “the grave”
  • 12 times from the Greek “Gehenna,” which means
    “a place of burning”
  • 1 time from the Greek “Tartarus,” which means
    “a place of darkness”

Hath Hell No Fury?

blazing-sun.jpgAn Amazing Fact: The sun is a fantastically hot cosmic-radiation powerhouse, with a surface temperature of about 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Its interior temperature is estimated as high as 18 million degrees Fahrenheit. The pressure at the center of the sun is about 700 million tons per square inch. That's enough to smash atoms, expose the inner nuclei, and allow them to smash into each other, interact, and produce the nuclear fusion that gives us our light and heat. In fact, the material at the core of the sun is so intensely hot that if you could capture just enough to cover a pinhead, it would radiate sufficient heat to kill a man one mile away!

A Hot Topic
willifry.jpgSome of the greatest theological confusion centers around the biblical topic of hell. It has been fumbled by church leaders until the word has become best known as a common vulgar expletive. But everywhere people are asking the same questions: What and where is hell? What is the fate of the wicked? Will a God of love really torture people throughout eternity? Will the fire of hell ever burn the wickedness out of sinners?

These questions deserve sound Bible answers. The controversy surrounding the subject should not discourage us from exposing all the truth as it is in Christ. Thus the sole purpose of this website is to bring to light what the Bible teaches about this hellfire. If this topic has ever perplexed you, please take a few minutes of your time to browse the pages of this site.

May God bless you in your search for truth!
