Hell, true or false?

Dear Alex: We will just have to agree to disagree. I have quoted scripture,
using the King James Bible, as well as Strongs Exhaustive Concordance, to
document the Doctrine as found in the Bible in regards to Hell. I have also
quoted Bible Dictionaries (Easton's Bible Dictionary), as well as researched
information from various books. One book that I referred to was "The Kingdom
of the Cults" by Dr. Walter Martin. I also referred to the latest re-release
of that same book (Kingdom of the Cults) that has been updated by Ravi
Zacharias and others- the focus of my search in both of these books was on
what religious or cult groups espoused your view of hell.

God bless,

Steve Goltra
