Did you know this about Hell?
In the Bible, Hell is actually written as 4 different words meaning various things.
Hell is written as sheol which means grave in the OT (that's why a lot of Jews today don't believe in a firey Hell. It’s not even a place of torment as both the righteous and wicked go there. They just think it's darkness and silence like a grave). Then in the NT other words were added.
The other words are Tartarus (a place of punishment for angels/demons not humans), gehenna (it's an actual real place here on earth, not the afterlife), and hades (now this is the Greek word for underworld).
But this all got incorrectly merged into one word. The people who heavily influenced this were Catholics. So our current concept of Hell as a blazing inferno is based on the Catholic book Dante’s Inferno from the 14th century. And the other Catholic influencer was St. Augustine with his ideas.
The Catholic Church itself then historically influenced this belief to spread all over Europe as they were the predominant religion back then. This belief was so widely spread that it even influenced other denominations to adopt it.
This is not a post bashing Catholics, but rather this part was mentioned as an understanding of real world history.
