(Biblical Tetragramaton)
wo, hold on there, Hell and the prison are different. Gates to hell being literal? caves? no. I've explained this before and it's tiring to do it again, but quickly, there are many words for what we call 'Hell'. That word, is not in the Bible anymore than 'Trinity'. See, there are a few words that are used in the scriptures, which we translate all as 'Hell'. Sheol, Gehennah, Tartarus, Abyss, Hades, and so forth. Look into the meanings of the words and try to look them up separately. Yes they are related in concept, but that's how Hell is presented. These words are pictures for us of what we know as 'Hell'. Nobody is in hell, Hell is yet to come. It is not infinite torture, but eternal destruction of the soul, just as the early Church father Justin Martyr argues. Matthew 10:28 makes clear what Hell does to the soul if the Father decides.Hell is not down under our feet anymore than heaven is on mount Olympus or on the clouds.SuperJag; Jesus went to the prison, not to hell.

What Tetra is telling you is true.say you are an evil person that refuses to change and accept Christ you (your soul) will just cease to exist no one will remember you it will be as if you never were the second death death of the soul.
I am sorry and I appologized for the much confusion, and I agree with you both that 100%, however, when the bible says that Yahshua/Jesus went to prison, I considered prison as a temporarily Hell, not a permanent Hell that is said in the below scriptures.Matthew 10:28 - And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.Revelation 20:14-15 - And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.So if that confuses you, than I truly apologized for the confusion. I'll say prison for now on, just to avoid much confusion.SincerelyJordan/JAG/thesuperjagLovest ye in Christ Jesus (Yahshua) our Lord and Saviour.
