Nowhere in Scripture does it talk of hell.
The Hebrew Tanakh (the "Old Testament") talks of "sheol", the Hebrew word for the grave.
Yeshua (Jesus) spoke of Gehenna, which is Gei Hinnom, a valley in Judea surrounding Jerusalem which was used as a garbage dump, where trash was burned, and where the bodies of criminals were sent to burn, denied a proper burial.
It is also apparently where non-Jewish idol worshipers used to supposedly ritually burn the bodies of children to their gods.
So when Jesus told people they would be sent to Gehenna, that is what he was speaking of. Sometimes He also spoke of it illustratively. He was not talking about the afterlife.
Over the centuries, this, like everything else got distorted.
There is no "hell". That is not a Scriptural concept.

You won't be going to Heaven, either, Ginny. That too is a concept of Christendom.
Ecclesiastes 9:5-6, 10b:
The living know that they will die, but
the dead know nothing
; they have no more reward, and even the memory of them is lost. Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished; never again will they have any share in all that happens under the sun… for
there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.
Psalms 6:5:
For
there is no mention of God in death; In Sheol who will give Him thanks?
Psalms 115:17:
The dead praise not the LORD,
neither any that go down into silence.
Psalms 146:4:
His breath goes out, he returns to the earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.
Pretty clear that in ancient Jewish thought, when you die, that's it, it's like before you were born, nothingness.
When it comes to New Testament times, Christ died as a paschal lamb, sacrificed so that His blood would spare His believers from eternal death. I have to criticize the idea that the sacrifice atoned all sins. Or else He'd have been sacrificed on Yom Kippur, not Pesach.
I wish people would pick up The Bible and actually read it, and try to understand what the writers and the characters themselves believed at the time those books were written, not listen to some stupid pastor as if he were God Himself.
I also wish people would challenge what is canon and why certain books are considered canon. The writings of Paul, for instance, conflict heavily with the words of Yeshua/Jesus and Kefa/Peter.
