That is correct based on what I know as well. My philosophy professor in college studied the Bible in it's original languages. There is no reference to any sort of fire and brimstone Hell actually existing in the original text. Several terms are used, including Sheol and Gehenna. The whole idea of Hell, as a place where sinners go and are punished for eternity, came about later on.Technically there is no actual heaven or hell. Once you die you end up at a place called "Sheol" which is basically a holding place for the dead. At the end of Armageddon everyone who has previously died will be resurected to a new earth and judged for a thousand years. At the end of this thousand years sinners will then die (again) and be placed in "Gehenna" which is basically a name for nothing, you will not exist anywhere at all. The reason people talk about hell is because the word Gehenna comes from essentially a place where things were burned. Once something is burned it's gone, therefore when someone ends up in Gehenna they are simply gone, not suffering and burning for eternity.
At least I think that's how it all works.

SundownzWhy not believe that God set up the Universe so that evolution was the means used to create man and other species? If you choose to believe in God that doesn't rule out evolution. The Bible was written so anyone could understand it, even if you are a devout believer you must understand that much -- some "nitty gritty" details may have simply been left out to make it understandable to the masses. Anyone here think that 2000 years ago people would understand DNA mutations?
