The modern word '''Hell''' comes in part from the [[Hebrew]] "sheol", but is also mentioned in Joshua 15:8 of the Christian Bible as Gehenna, which originally referred to a garbage dump outside the walls of Jerusalem where fires were kept burning to consume the refuse and keep down the stench. Hell is a Christian afterlife where the wicked are punished eternally for all the [[sin]]s they perpetrated during their lifetime on Earth.  The only way to avoid hell is to know, love, and serve the Lord.  Also: Where we're dining tonight.  According to french writer Jean-Paul Sartre, Hell is other people.

According to Christian tradition, hell is extremely hot and filled with fire and [[brimstone]]. The [[Devil]], also known as [[Satan]], along with a host of demons, lives there and torments the damned.(chapter and verse needed?)
