Is there a Hell? What does the bible say?

Matthew 10:28

And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in HELL.



The bible has several scriptures that speak of what is describes as Hell. The scriptures also say that we need to Fear the Lord, or have a healthy respect for God. God is good and God does love us but there is indeed a Hell that the bible talks of over and over and over again! This is a long post mainly because I am listing most of the scriptures that refer to Hell in one way or another. It is hard to say I believe Gods word and then say there is not a Hell. I know it is not a pleasant subject that is why I am just going to let the scripture do most of the talking rather then me. It is good to be aware that there is a Heaven, but also that for every positive there is a negative or opposite. The opposite of Heaven is Hell, and those who are not saved and doing there best to live as Christ Jesus would show you too through His word need to have a good healthy fear of the one who can "Cast their soul AND body into Hell!
