Except of course that this does not deal with the FACT that The Bible uses three different terms for what we call ‘hell’

One is ‘sheol’ whic is a place of no return and a sense of separation and separteness from God

Another is ‘hades’ which is truly the grave or the realm of the dead.

the last is ‘gehenna’ which is the trash heap outside the city of Jerusalem where all refuse was burned in a constant fire.

Context is EVERYTHING when one is dealing with scripture. The answers while somewhat insteresting fall short in that area completely

"Context is EVERYTHING when one is dealing with scripture."

The Holy Spirit is everything when dealing with Scripture, Who has been given to his Church for the proper understanding of it .
