1. The person above me answered that, but I dont know if he just found out how much the word hell was used, or what. Hell is mentioned more than heaven, and that makes sence. If we know how bad hell is and we can avoid it, then we dont really need to know everything about heaven, we can find out when we get there.
2. Extreemly important, so we can avoid going there
3. I dont want hell fire preaching, but it does need to be mentioned. We cant skip over the sections we dont like.
4. As real as you and me
5. Christ died for our sins, so all who believe in him will not parish, but have eternal life.

i dont know how many times its mentioned but i know its many. no i would not want to go to a church that never talked about hell. it is real and must be preached. however, i think the bible teaches that hell is a place where the unrepentant are destroyed rather than tormented forever. most christians disagree, but just examine all the scriptures and weigh the evidence for yourself. For example, it is hard to ignore texts like Isaiah 1:28, which says that rebels and sinners shall be destroyed together, and those who forsake the Lord shall be consumed. See also Malachi 4:1; Philippians 3:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:2,3; and 2 Thessalonians 1:9; Psalm 37:38; Matthew 13:30; Hebrews 10:27

I guess Greg Laurie can say it best, there needs to be balance in all things, some preachers can go over board with preaching about Hell, and then you have the others who hardly mention it. Sin is a condition we were in, hell is what we were saved from.
How to Walk Worthy of the Lord - Greg Laurie
I remember when both of my sons took their first steps. Like most parents, we desperately wanted to see our kids take them. We were so excited. Then, once they started walking, we sometimes wished we never would have taught them how to do it, because we had to constantly keep an eye on them.
My youngest son Jonathan fell so many times when he was taking his first steps that he had a permanent bruise on his forehead. A bruise would start to heal, and then he would fall again. He had bruises on top of bruises. We didn't recognize him without that bruise in the middle of his forehead.
The spiritual walk can be like that, especially when we take our first steps as a new believer. We stumble and fall. We get up. Then we stumble and fall again. It is all part of growing spiritually. In Ephesians 4, the apostle Paul speaks to us about our spiritual walk, about how to walk spiritually.
Walking is something that speaks of effort and of having a direction with a destination in mind. It speaks of steady motion, regularity, consistency, activity, movement, and progress. God is telling us in this passage that it is time for us to walk in light of what we have already learned.
Prior to these verses, Paul has spent three chapters telling us what God has done for us, what God has given to us, and what God has provided for us. He has reminded us that we were all separated from God, alienated from His promises. We were aimlessly walking through life with no purpose or direction, heading toward a certain judgment. But God loved us so much that He chose us before the foundation of the world. Then He redeemed us. He bought us out of slavery to sin, adopted us into His family, and sealed us with the Holy Spirit. If that were not enough, He then placed all of His resources into our spiritual bank account so that we would have everything that we need to grow spiritually.
Then in Ephesians 4, we learn more about what we are supposed to do for God. Notice the order. First, Paul tells us what God has done for us (as you read the Bible, you will find that the primary emphasis is just that). Then he tells us what we must do for God: "I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called" (Ephesians 4:1 NKJV).
We may read that verse and think, "I am in trouble. How could I ever be worthy? There is nothing I could ever do to deserve God's grace." But that is not what the word "worthy" means here. This word could be translated to say, "to balance the scales." In other words, what is on one side of the scale should be equal in weight to what is on the other scale. This word can be applied to anything that was expected to correspond to something else. Another way to translate it is, "I want you to live a balanced life." But what is the balance he is referring to? Paul was telling us there needs to be a balance between our belief and our practice, between our doctrine and the way that we live. The two need to go together.
Some people are lopsided. They may be strong in one area strong and weak in another. I have met people who have an incredible and impressive knowledge of the Bible. They know Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic. They dazzle you with what they know. But their personal life is in shambles. The problem is that they are imbalanced. They have the knowledge. They have the doctrine. But their life is out of balance.
Then there are those who don't know much doctrinally. They don't really know what the Bible teaches on certain subjects, but they love the Lord. They are passionate about their faith in Jesus Christ. In fact, you might hear them say something like, "Let's not quibble over doctrine. I just love Jesus." That sounds admirable, but it is a dangerous statement. If they are not careful, they might end up loving the wrong Jesus. They might end up believing the wrong gospel, and that is where doctrine comes in.
We need the balance of having both of these areas working together. That is what it means to walk worthy of the Lord.
