Jesus gives a parable on hell:

Matthew 22:13 - Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

the kind of company those in hell will have:

Matthew 24:51 - And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 25:30 - And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

BOLD STATEMENT ABOUT HELL:

Luke 13:28 - There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

my goodness! all this talk about hell from such a reliable source as Jesus and his inspired word makes me run harder for heaven.

Hi CS,
How strange that none of the scriptures you quoted say anything about Sheol or Gahenna. Yet you take their meaning to refer to something you term 'hell'.

Maybe you should read the link in the OP, it may help you in your studies.

Excellent advise, Byron! The fact is that gehenna was never once referred to by the apostle Paul who preached the "whole" counsel of God in at least 1/2 of the New Covenant. Nor was gehenna ever mentioned by the disciple who leaned upon the Master's bosom, St. John the beloved. Why? Surely they understood the significance of gehenna and sh@/owl, and tartaroo and hades? You bet they did!

There are four (4) words in Hebrew and Greek that are all translated as hell in the K.J.V. Those four words are sh@'owl, hades, gehenna, and tartaroo.
