Hell fire isn’t what most think it is.
Was the chicken or the egg first? That question comes to mind when we consider the popular teachings of hell. Was it bad theology that brought on poor translations of certain verses in Revelation, or was is bad translating that created poor theology? Whichever it was, we now know that the theory of an ever burning hell where people suffer forever is not what the Bible teaches. There are several verses that give an entirely different view. First we will look at those, then deal with how the two verses in Revelation that say “forever and ever” are to be understood.
