Actually, he was talking about a place of fire where the damned exist for all eternity.
If it is your belief that we are talking about immortal worms here...
Death in Hell for all eternity, that's what I believe Christ is talking about. With the fire.
The confusion stems from the fact that Gehenna was, in a way like Hades (grave), a resting place for dead bodies....not an ever burning hell fire as mainstream Christianity would like you to believe.
Wrong. It is actually a burning, eternal Hell. How do you account for Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16?
There was a certain rich man, who was clothed in purple and fine linen; and feasted sumptuously every day. And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, full of sores, Desiring to be filled with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table, and no one did give him; moreover the dogs came, and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom. And the rich man also died: and he was buried in hell. And lifting up his eyes when he was in torments, he saw Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom: And he cried, and said: Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, to cool my tongue: for I am tormented in this flame. And Abraham said to him: Son, remember that thou didst receive good things in thy lifetime, and likewise Lazareth evil things, but now he is comforted; and thou art tormented.
This is anti Biblical doctrine not supported by any scripture you may provide.

Main stream Christianity does teach this. They are wrong.
