1. Jesus taught that Gehenna was escapable, while Roman Catholicism teaches that Hell is inescapable.

Oh?

What chapter and verse; if you please.

.” In all of the Gehenna passages taken together, the only people on the planet threatened with Gehenna were Judean Jews in Jesus’ generation. No one else; not folks in Asia Minor, nor Americans in our time, were ever threatened with Gehenna.

He warned them to flee Jerusalem to the mountains! Our Lord told them to escape, and the faithful Jews did! Escape from Gehenna was possible! Thus, in Matthew 23:33-36, Jesus warned the Jews that their very generation (and no other) was headed for the judgment in Gehenna, and in 24:34, He said it would occur in His generation (not in any other). He warned them (not us) in 24:15-16 to watch for the sign of His coming, and flee to the mountains. In Luke 21:26, Luke’s account of the same discourse, Jesus warned: “But watch ye at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass” (Luke 21:26).
