Jesus offered Peace and Grace... Many say that Jesus spoke of hell, but really it was to his contemporaries warning them about wickedness and non acceptance from Israel to what he had to offer... Valley of Hinnom redirects here. Gehenna, Gehinnom and Yiddish Gehinnam, are terms derived from a place outside ancient Jerusalem known in the Hebrew Bible as the Valley of the Son of Hinnom; one of the two principal valleys surrounding the Old City. In total, the word hell (hades and gehenna combined) is used about 10-12 times in all four gospels combined, and thats it. Even when adding the teachings about the outer darkness, fiery furnace, eternal fire prepared for the devil, etc, it still isnt even close. Christ speaks of the kingdom of heaven far more than he speaks about hell.
