where do you get your definitions for hell?... hell is not the lake of fire. Hell has had 4 different terms in the Bible: hell, sheol, tartarus, hades. ALL of these terms have one meaning: the grave. It is a place where the dead is kept. Luke 16 is exactly what it's supposed to be: a parable, nothing more. It describes the Jewry in the days of Christ, and it's corruptionHell exists. Hell is there.
1. Hades and Gehenna are symbolic references to the lake of fire. When the unbeliever dies, he is immediately in torments in the lake of fire.
Luke 16:22-23 So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried. And being in torments in Hades, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
Matthew 10:28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell [Gehenna].
2. Abyss and Tartarus are symbolic references to the bottomless pit. The bottomless pit is the prison for demons.
Luke 8:31 And they begged Him that He would not command them to go out into the abyss.
2 Peter 2:4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment;
3. The lake of fire is a lake of fire. The bottomless pit is the bottom of the lake of fire.
Revelation 9:2-3 And he opened the bottomless pit, and smoke arose out of the pit like the smoke of a great furnace. So the sun and the air were darkened because of the smoke of the pit. Then out of the smoke locusts [demons] came upon the earth.
Here's a picture: This is Spa - Hell!
My father drew this for me.
further more, it is impossible for hell to be the Lake of Fire... why?
Revelation 20:13-14 (KJV)
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. 14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
