I also know that Christ never SPECIFICALLY mentioned a Hell, just heaven. Hell is a concept created by man and various religious leaders according to numerous scholarly works that will no doubt be debated byreligious authorities.The God I believe in will not send a person who lives a good life, treats others well, but does not believe in him to eternal suffering. Perhaps they will not be saved, but they will not suffer either.
you show your ignorance .....
Jesus mentions Hell WAYYYYYYYYY more than Heaven
