The topic you posted about the scriptures... "Hell" = the grave.
I don't buy into the hellfire doctrine... (see: Platoism) There are things that are symbolic and there are things that are real.
The dwelling place of God is with mankind... not the other way around. God created the Earth to be inhabited by mankind. That's why the Kingdom of God is the Good News about Christ the King. It's coming HERE!

Mat 6;9,10.

The punishment for sin is death, not eternal torment. We do not have eternal souls that live on after we die, we ARE living souls so when we die our thoughts do perish. The only hope we have for life after death rests in the resurrection.
