not even Jesus mentions it

Curious how you would interpret Mark 9:43-48, Bob.

Mark 9:43-48

Jesus uses the word "Gehenna" which was translated as Hell.
Gehenna is the name of the valley to the south of the city of Jerusalem. It was the city's garbage dump. They burned dead animals and garbage there and what was left was eaten by worms. When you go to Hell your body is thrown in the dump.
