Conclusion
Is hell fire a myth? The Bible certainly agrees that it is not. The Bible reveals that there is a place where the dead go called Sheol or Hell. The Bible also tells us that a fire will be set by God and it will be an unquenchable inferno. Satan, his demons and all whose names are not written in the book of life will be tormented for all eternity. Eternity is too long to ignore this warning. Knowingย therefore theย terror of the Lord, we persuade men.(2 Corinthians 5:11)
