Hell has been used throughout the centuries by religion as the place where all those who do not enter heaven will be sent‚ to face punishment for all their sins.

He formed the heavens and the cold‚ turbid matter formed the earth. Pan Gu stood between them‚ his head touching the sky‚ his feet planted on the earth‚ so that the heaven and the

Liberal Christian Beliefs Liberal Christians recognize that the writers of the Bible held a variety of beliefs concerning Heaven and Hell. The earliest books of the Bible described an underground cavern where all people‚ good and bad‚ spent eternity after death.

In Milton’s Paradise Lost‚ Satan observes his new surroundings and directs his reflection at his close ally Beelzebub after their fall and painful time spent in the lake (I. 220-240‚ p.217): Farewell
