Jesus teaches Hell 101
Because He is God, Jesus is our authority on hell.
Go to Luke 16:19-31
Christians who truly follow Jesus believe what Jesus believed. If we claim to follow Jesus and reject what He believed, we are not really following Jesus. Here is a remarkable fact. 20 of the 23 times hell is mentioned in the New Testament, Jesus is the one who brings it up. Since Jesus believed it was important to warn religious people about hell, we need to understand what Jesus taught about the reality of hell.

We use the
old King James Version for Bible study because it is
the most accurate and because most newer versions leave out the word hell in many places in the Bible. If you do not have an old KJV you may use any Bible you have. Just be sure that you
look up the verses as you answer the questions. What Jesus Taught
