the hebrew scriptures do not have a hell theology. The word which is translated into hell in english is from the hebrew word 'shoel'
The verses where this word appears does not present sheol as being a place of torment as many religions teach.
Eg. the Bible writers did not believe that the dead experience anything.
Eccl. 9:5, 10: The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all . . . All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol,* the place to which you are going. (If they are conscious of nothing, they obviously feel no pain.) (*Sheol, AS, RS, NE, JB; the grave, KJ, Kx; hell, Dy; the world of the dead, TEV.)
Ps. 146:4: His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts* do perish. (*Thoughts, KJ, 145:4 in Dy; schemes, JB; plans, RS, TEV.)
Besides this, the Bible does not say that the soul survives the death of the body.
Ezek. 18:4: The soul* that is sinningit itself will die. (*Soul, KJ, Dy, RS, NE, Kx; the man, JB; the person, TEV.)
And the bible also says that the good and wicked both go to hell/sheol.
Ps. 9:17, KJ: The wicked shall be turned into hell,* and all the nations that forget God. (*Hell, 9:18 in Dy; death, TEV; the place of death, Kx; Sheol, AS, RS, NE, JB, NW.)
Job 14:13, Dy: [Job prayed:] Who will grant me this, that thou mayst protect me in hell,* and hide me till thy wrath pass, and appoint me a time when thou wilt remember me? (*The grave, KJ; the world of the dead, TEV; Sheol, AS, RS, NE, JB, NW.)
Acts 2:25-27, KJ: David speaketh concerning him [Jesus Christ], . . . Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,* neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. If Jesus was said to be in hell, then surely it is not a place for the wicked...good people go there too because hell really means the 'grave'

As well as what Pegg showed--- at deuteronomy 32:4-- it teaches this truth about the true God--- All of Gods ways are justice--- Justice is a set of balanced scales--- lets apply the teaching of a place of eternal torment on justice scales---
On one side 70-90 years of unrepented sin------ on the other side trillions x trillions x trillions x trillions, etc of years of never ending punishment--- Not the true God taught by his word-- symbolism taught in the nt. And i do believe that the false teachers know that its a sadistic lie being taught about the true God.
