Why do most bible translations not have the word Hell in them?
There are alot of reasons why the word "Hell" doesn't show up in several bibles today. Why? Because the word "Hell" was just used to replace the words Sheol or Hades which was originally used to interpret hell but not the hell used today. If you read in the book of Job, when Satan was testing Job's faith in God, Job asked God to send him to Sheol (or Hell in most biblical translations today). Now when you ask the average person what they think hell is, They would probably say somewhere people go when they don't do good, or only do bad, or when they don't find Jesus, etc. And if you ask them what happens in this hell, I bet money they'll say that those people will be tormented or will burn forever in a pit of fire. Job was a very smart person and knew very well what was in the bible when it was written. If Hell was such a place, then why would Job ask God to send him there? God is a loving god (as stated in the bible). If God was a loving God, do you think he'd really let bad people go to Hell? Alot of bibles also don't use the word Hell because they are starting to realize that it contradicts what the bible really says about hell (or Sheol/Hades). I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses and IT WOULD BE MY PLEASURE TO ANSWER ANY RELIGOUS QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE (and any other question if you'd like).
