Comment on How modern is it to have "sympathetic" portrayals of Hell?

  There were different sects. Sheoul was a thing that was mentioned several times as well. Revelation also makes it clear:

  Revelation 20:12-15

  And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

    Why do you think the Book of Revelations speaks to the Jewish faith? I am not of the opinion that Jews read the new testament.

      We’re not talking about Jews here, we’re talking about Christianity

        I clearly was talking about Judaism and you are not. “We” are talking about two different things 🤷
