Jesus never taught about a place of eternal torment.It's my understanding that Judaism doesn't teach such a doctrine. So a forever torture chamber would certainly have been a radical new concept to the Apostles. And then consider that Jesus, who described himself as the "good shepherd", would never stop searching for the lost and who advocated strongly for mercy and forgiveness was suddenly threatening the unrepentant to a forever torture chamber. Yet, there is no mention in the scriptures of the Apostles questioning Jesus about it. Why is that?
English translation Bibles refer to Hell but Jesus didn't
Had he done so his Disciples would certainly have had questions. They knew of Sheol, as Jews. Not a place of fire and brimstone eternal suffering.
