I find it interesting to note that whenever scholars have gone back to the original texts of the old and new testaments in the original greek and hebrew, the word 'hell' is nowhere to be found... it only appears in the King james version and its derivatives, but not in any of the more modern translations...
Prolly 'cause it's English.
Seriously, there's so much contradictory information out there about "facts" like these, and as far as I can see every "expert" touting a new secret or scandal has his own motive for doing so (that motive rarely being honest scholarship for the sake of knowledge, apparently). For me it has become a bore even to bother debating it.
