I have my definite views on hell and believe that our message needs to lean heavenly on our hope and salvation without disregarding the various things God says in his Word regarding hell ... I do think we need to make the same distinctions the writers made between death/Hades/Gehenna/ Sheol/ etc.

And tartaroō as well. I wonder sometimes if the hell we have created is even in Scripture. Have we hobbled together several different ideas to create hell and maybe some of those descriptions were only intended to make a point and not describe an actual place?
Why would the same writer use Hades in one place and Gehenna in another if he was referring to the same thing? especially considering the world they were writing to already had a very clear definition of Hades.
