Default Re: hell

"In Mark 9:43, "Ghehennah" (translated "hell") was the name of the valley outside Jerusalem where garbage, dead animals and certain human bodies were incinerated, while "asbestos" (translated "unquenchable") refers to the "not extinguished" process whereby combustion goes to completion. In other words, the fate of sinners is to be cast into the city dump and burned with the garbage, not an eternity on a Weber with the hot dogs in some fantastical underworld."

Skidoo, do you even believe in an afterlife then, or are yous simply saying non-believers, upon death, simply cease to exist? While believers still go to heaven? This sounds better, but still doesn't seem fair that a non-believer would not be given a 2nd chance while believers recieve eternal bliss.

If you are saying the bible's translation of hell is wrong, then what about the translation of heaven? What about the translation of the Rapture, which seems to be a very brutal event?
