Do you believe in Hell?

Question

Answer

Who Goes to Hell?
The Bible’s answer
Hell (“Sheol” and “Hades” in the Bible’s original languages) is simply the grave, not a place of fiery torment. Who go to hell? Both good people and bad people. (Job 14:13; Psalm 9:17) The Bible says that this common grave of mankind is “the house of meeting for everyone living.”​—⁠Job 30:23.
Even Jesus went to hell when he died. However, “he was not kept in hell,” because God resurrected him.​—⁠Acts 2:​31, 32, The Bible in Basic English.
Is hell eternal?
All those who go to hell will come back out, brought to life by Jesus through God’s power. (John 5:​28, 29; Acts 24:15) Speaking of that future resurrection, the prophecy at Revelation 20:13 says that “death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them.” (King James Version) Once hell has been emptied, it will no longer exist; no one will ever go there again because “death will be no more.”​—⁠Revelation 21:​3, 4; 20:14.
Not everyone who dies goes to hell, though. The Bible shows that some people become so steeped in wickedness that they are beyond repentance. (Hebrews 10:26, 27) When such ones die, they go, not to hell, but to Gehenna, which is a symbol of everlasting destruction. (Matthew 5:​29, 30) For example, Jesus indicated that some of the hypocritical religious leaders in his day would go to Gehenna.​—⁠Matthew 23:27-​33.

Answer

The issue to me is not whether someone believes in it or not (though that’s certainly the issue), but what it is. For example, it’s not some domain ruled by Satan. He’s a prisoner of Hell as much as anyone else is.
