As i said..just refer to volcano's lava...is it man-made or a man's idea?....
If I am correct, the Old Testament refers to Hell under different names at different times. One name used in particular was the same name of a place on the outskirts of a city where they would burn refuse. I don't think any part of the Old Testament explicitly describes Hell the same way that the New Testament does in the Revelation of St. John, which is where those earlier quotes I made came from.From what I see, if you are a practicing Christian, obviously you would not disregard the words of the New Testament like the Orthodox Jews do, and should accept such descriptions as the word of God. You could claim that men who translated the New Testament into English added that, but given that we can also study the original text from the source documents, it is apparent that they did not add their own ideas, but attempted to translate it into equivalent English words as closely as possible.HOWEVER...You could still find a personal debate as to whether or not some of the books that they excluded should have been deemed canonized and included in the New Testament.Maybe the devil wanted them left out for a reason. Personally, I find the idea that God himself could deem certain man-written works to be his own word to be ludicrous. If he could work miracles through Jesus Christ, cause the red sea to part through Moses,... then... maybe. I don't see any reason why he wouldn't have made the book himself and then given it to one man to give out to the people. The Mormons had a good idea there. It all seems like mythological hogwash that just hasn't died off yet. Why should I be more inclined to believe in Yahweh and Jesus Christ than the gods of the ancient Egyptians? They both make equally illogical, unnatural, and ridiculous claims about the origins of mankind and the so-called afterlife.

Islam as an interesting take on hell. Apparently in that religion, there's one realm of hell where it's like a blizzard with ice, and it's unruly cold. Bitter cold. I think a frozen hell would be much worst than a hot one. That's just me though since I'd rather be hot than cold.
Hell is made of fire and not ice.....no frozen hell for sure.....and the Angels that guard hell......i'm telling you......be prepared...just refer to volcano's lava...is it man-made or a man's idea?....
