Does this look like HELL to you? The VERSION variant Bible you are reading - says it is. Use mouse pointer as magnifier. Panorama view. Scroll sideways for more pic. Scroll mouse wheel to magnify. Read Mark 9:43. Did you read - into hell, into the fire? Version variants read - into hell, into the fire. Mark compiled - into the Gehenna, into the fire. This is Gehenna now. Is it burning? What is so the truth? Jesus did NOT say - HELL. He said - into the Gehenna, into the fire. Jesus used emphasis, and a type of repetition, with Gehenna and fire. Emphasis + repetition = essence of learning and understanding. Why? Impact! A massive amount of dung was burning there at the time. Dung covered the bodies of dead religious leaders, that were dug up and thrown there, because of their help with Solomon's worship of foreign gods. A perpetual fire was there at the time of Jesus. Jesus related this burning to eternal separation from - God. Can you imagine the stink over the city, for hundreds of years, from - dung fire? Culverts, at bottom of picture, might be for a modern sewer line.
