There is no Bible hell.
Hell doesn't exist in the Bible.
No hell, and no everlasting punishment or torture.
Go ahead, try and find it.
The Church created hell, even though it has no basis in scripture.
Hell, and purgatory, and the limbos, and confession, make it easier to frighten people into obedience.
I studied this long ago, the date, the Pope, etc. I remember that it had something to do with a Church / State power struggle at the time. But I can't find it and I haven't the energy or time to do it again. I think the thought of eternal agony began at some point in the 2nd or 3rd centuries, and entered Cannon about 5th century. (?)
We live in a wise and loving universe. Love, patience, and understanding, reign.
