Where else did He use something similar by taking a myth and proposing a truth through it? Myself, I cannot see Jesus doing that. It makes me think there is actual fire, albeit a spiritual form, in the spiritual realm of the unseen in hell.

Some say he would use a myth or others misconceived ideas:
for example:
1And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
Man was born blind why would they ask if this man sinned? because some believed the myth about previous life and brought over into the next. Jesus didn't even correct but said "neither this man sinned or......"
He was born blind why even say he didn't sin??
