Hell is definitely real. Hell was not created for humans, but for the devil and his fallen angels. But if we lead a life that is not of God, we will be there too.

I have many scripture verses to confirm to those who do not believe hell is a real place.

No questions, and without Jesus dying for us, we would of all be sent there.

Is hell real

Hell is definitely real, lt is my view of hell that may surprise some. Hell, like heaven is eternity in God's presence. For those who love and embrace him, etrnity in His presnce will be joy and his radiance light and warmth. For those who hate and reject Him, his presence will be toturous and his radiance blinding and searing, eternal torture.
His unworthy servant,
Eusebios

It is very real, and will be experienced by billions. That is why we must fight for each soul we can get to be converted in Jesus Christ,

There is no Hell yet. But there will be one. At the time of Jesus' second Judgment He will burn everything on this Earth. It will not be forever and ever though. The Bible is speaking of eternal death, not people burning forever and ever.

Even though Rev. says that the smoke from their torment will rise for all eternity, Hell is not eternal? More SDA doctrine. It is false and not Biblically supported.

I concur:

http://64.180.102.203/death-p4.html

The doctrines of hell and purgatory are of pagan origin, and were adopted into the Christian culture by the Roman Catholic Church fathers.

The word "everlasting" ("aiónios") is used to described the fate of the righteous as well as the wicked. If the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23) then the punishment of the wicked is everlasting death. The final consequence of the fire is everlasting, not the fire itself. This principle is clearly demonstrated in the usage of the concept "everlasting" in the Scriptures. Jeremiah prophesied that God would kindle a fire in Jerusalem that "would not be quenched" (Jeremiah 17:27). When Nebuchadnezzar destroyed Jerusalem, the city was burnt to the ground, and the fire could not be quenched until it had accomplished the destruction of the city, yet it is not burning today. Similarly, in Jude 1:7, we read:

Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in a like manner giving themselves over to fornication and going after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

This issue is also referred to in 2 Peter 2:5,6. The fires are no longer burning, but the consequences of the fires are everlasting.

and

Modern Christian scholars likewise cling to the doctrine of an immediate afterlife in heaven or in hell, and they cite as evidence a number of Bible passages, particularly the promise of Jesus to the thief on the cross and the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, who upon their death went to hell and "Abraham's bosom" respectively. These texts need clarification if their teachings are to be in harmony with the rest of Scripture regarding the state of the dead.

Nowhere in the Scriptures is there a doctrinal teaching of an immediate afterlife. The Lazarus that Jesus raised from the dead did certainly not go to heaven or "Abraham's bosom" when he died. The New Testament teachings on this issue are plain. At Pentecost, Peter said:

Men and brethren; let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with you until this day, for David is not ascended into the heavens. Acts 2:29, 34
