Is there really hell?
And where is it located?
Words in the bible associated with hell in the bible are hades, sheol, gehenna and tartaros. Hades/sheol are generally the grave and present state of the dead -as asleep and awaiting resurrection.
Tartaros is generally the state of restraint of the sinning angels (doing only as God allows) until the judgment.
Gehenna is the lake of fire -in which both body and spirit may be destroyed (but that does not mean they necessarily WILL be destroyed). It is also part of God being like a refiner's fire. It may also be a temporary or indefinite unpleasantness and separation -until one is prepared to do what is right.
While studying the subject, the most hopeful scriptures I have found are the following....
Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
