Get a concordance.

Find the new testament / NT verse where "hades" quotes an OT verse with "sheol".

It's the grave or gravedom. Read the OT occurances and you will know a lot about what it is and what it is not.

Fire has nothing to do with it. We have to put artwork we have seen aside, and look at verses on this one so we don't get confused with our own interpretations.

Hell is a place i never want to go to and have no desire to see.The Bible states what it is and that is good enough for anyone.

where is that? Btw, God cannot commit genocide because He is a God and not just another human being.

What was Noah's flood if not genocide? Good grief, God wiped out all of mankind and all creatures on earth except the few that were on the ark, if I were to believe the bible.

Exactly.

no human has the right to judge God. He knows better than us. He created the laws of nature and those laws keep the whole earth alive. If we really knew better than Him, the earth wouldn 't be in the state it is now. People thought they knew better and tried to improve nature by getting rid of its "flaws", but look where it led and is leading to-destruction of everything, both good and bad, not just bad.

It's not genocide to destroy inanimate objects.
Anyway, Jesus said to love everyone as much as you love yourself-equality.
All this says is that you know I'm right. You have no evidence to support your beliefs so you resort to name calling. Thank you for illustrating how I'm right.

I always believed that whatever religion or way of life that you chose to live will reflect in your death. If you are a christian you will go to heaven if you are a bad christian you will go to hell, you believe in reincarnation you will come back as something ect

I seen some program, I can't remember which but the narrator stated that the idea of heaven and hell had to be concieved simply b/c the the thought of people like Hitler not being punished in the afterlife contradicts the reasoning to live a good and righteous life and evil/bad deeds must be punished
