Default Where did hell come from?
I grew up a baptist and was consequently terrified of hell. I once read the entire Bible to learn all I could about hell. All I found were a few comments about 'gnashing of teeth'.

Can someone spare me the research and educate me on how hell has developed into this fiery place of everlasting suffering?

I believe that it was borrowed from the Zoroastrian culture. Wikipedia says:

"Zoroastrianism developed the abstract concepts of heaven, hell, personal and final judgement..."

"After death, the soul is allowed three days to meditate on his/her past life. If the good thoughts, words and deeds outweigh the bad, then the soul is taken into heaven. Otherwise, the soul is led to hell."

Wasn't hell created by God according to the bible?

Two reasons, Hell as where the soul (Intelligent Energy) goes when it becomes negative through means of going through a life in a biological body that has seriously sinned e.g. raped, murderd, broke the divine rule of Love and has not repented. Or Hell being created by some of the powers that be to keep control over the masses?

I'm interested in the concept of hell. For this discussion I'm not interested in what it actually is. What I want to know is why people believe it to be whatever they believe it to be. None of the descriptions I've ever heard are contained in the Bible.

The Christian concept of Hell is an amalgam of many different cultures. Remember the famous History of Hell class in college, Gentoo?

Thrown into the cultural mix (which includes Sumerian, Greek, Egyptian, and others) is the influence of writers like Dante and Milton whose fictional literature helped provide the landscape and characters of Hell that we know and love.

Hell- the very concept is terryfing

Hell came about from the Creation of the Cosmos- that matter which fell into a state of misfunction became known as Hell
As Christ referred to it Outer Darkness

It is in a state of Perpetual chaos-Chaos that cannot bring itself to be molded into anything for all the particles of it are jealous of the other

Over it is being called Belial-

That's some great pseudoscience there, Habakuk. Scary stuff...

Well, I have a book on Norse Mythology, there is a Norse Goddess called Hel (note one L) and she is the Goddess of the underworld. It said that the Christians so feared her, that they named their place of torment (Hell) after her. Dunno how true this is though.
