I’m saying Hell has many definitions now that it didn’t have when the word was written.

Nowhere in the word is “Hell” a place of punishment.

The Lake that burns eternally with sulfur is the place of punishment. Yeshua didn’t go there.

Hell is hell. Christ was in hell, the unquenchable fire. Now what took place there is anyone's guest. Peter states that He preached there but that is all the info we have.

The Lake of Fire is only referred to in Revelations and does sound like something in the future. Jesus will NOT be in the Lake of Fire. He is now a physical person with a physical (glorified) body. That does not mean that the Spirit of God will not be in the Lake of Fire. Since God the Father is omnipresent (everywhere at everytime) then His presence will also be in the Lake of Fire. You're assuming that God can be tormented in either Hell or the Lake of Fire. I wouldn't make that assumption.

This is a difficult concept to understand but must be so. This is a mystery concerning how the Trinity works. I don't understand, I only accept that it must be so because that is what the scriptures teaches.
