Many people have rejected this idea of a torturing "hell." Some just ignore it and desire not to discuss it, although they accept the other side of the coin, i.e., the "soul" of the believer going to heaven for eternity if he has "confessed belief in Jesus Christ" while still alive. Others, in rejecting this teaching of hell, reject the entire Christian religion, saying they cannot trust a God who will torture billions and billions of people forever just because those people, while 'alive, did not know or did not "confess" Him. Not only this but between those in heaven and those in hell there will be great great gap that you will be able to see over your relatives being tortured in hell and as heaven is a place with no sorry or crying you will be happy to see them suffer! What baloney! So let us examine this "hell," and search the Scripture to find the Bible Truth on "Where is your, soul after death?"

A most common teaching among the Protestant and Roman Catholic churches about the "soul" of man is that it leaves the body at death and goes either to heaven, if the person is "saved," or to hell, where the "unsaved" are, tormented for eternity. The pagan Roman Catholic Church finds the source of its teachings in Babylon and Egypt. Many corruptions can still be found in the majority of Protestant and denominations. Although there is less "hell-fire" preaching today than in the past, priests, vicars, pastors and preachers still insist, when pressed, that "hell" is a place where unsaved "souls" suffer fire and torture for ever and ever, an eternity of indescribable pain without end. Where Pentecostals use the letters PTL to mean Praise the Lord the Babylonian church of Roman Catholicism treats the letters PTL to describe hell as the Perpetual Torment of the Lost.
