Hell is referenced 23 times in the entire NT.
15 by Jesus in the gospels, twice by Luke in Acts, once by James, once by Peter, and four times in Revelation.
Never once by Paul, who taught moreabout relationship than punishment.
Much to be learned here.
If relationship is right, hell is of no consequence.
And fear (of hell, or anything else) is not a lasting motivator.
I don't question the existence of hell, just the relevance to Christianity.
