How people choose to interpret something doesn ' t inherently mean their interpretation is correct . Here ' s what I meanI would say that what is referenced in the OT is very much the same as what Jesus refers to in the NT , but human interpretation has distorted that as a means of fear campaigning people into belief . So what they ' ve created may seem to stand in opposition to what the OT is referencing , but that ' s only because their interpretation is off . The reason I referenced the commonality is because you were asserting that the notion of hell is at best 2000 years old and began with Christianity , which just isn ' t true . Because hell in it ' s various forms has been around for much longer . <| sep |> Can ' t wait until my gym sets up their moon board next week . Then we can standardize more effectively
