Where is hell?

One view:

There is no such thing as hell with eternal burning fires as what was written in the scriptures. Remember the scriptures, even if it was inspired by God, remember that is was written by man and man has his own ego which makes the infusion of his own beliefs and ideas possible to mix with the pure messages of God so we cannot always rely on the scriptures for purity. Another thing to note is that most of the accounts in the scriptures particularly the Bible some of them are symbolical and not literal. One thing I must say of what is correct about this question is "Hell is what you make it." Hell is not made by a angry God for God is not wrathful.

Another view:

The Bible tells us that heaven and hell are very real, actual places where the soul goes after the death of our human bodies. It is a very basic scientific fact that energy cannot be destroyed, only changed. We are energy, when our bodies die, that energy has to go somewhere. God tells us where, either heaven or hell. Those are our only choices. It is also true that the bible has withstood the test of time and science, proving itself to be a reliable source of historical events and real historical people, Jesus of Nazareth being one of them.

That being said, from scripture and other historical documents the real place of hell is most likely underneath the earth's surface. The abyss, the eternal lake of fire, etc. is the perfect description of the burning center of the core of the earth. It is where Jesus went after his death and before he resurrected. He descended into Hades, to release the saints to heaven and to preach to others, I can only guess these were sinners that still had a chance of redemption.

Another view:

Hell is spoken of in at least two senses. One is the temporary abode in the spirit world of those who were disobedient in this mortal life. It is between death and the resurrection, and persons who receive the lowest degree of glory will abide there until the last resurrection. Hell, as thus defined, will have an end, when all the captive spirits have paid the price of their sins and enter into a degree of glory after their resurrection. Statements about an everlasting hell must be interpreted in their proper context in the light of that which defines eternal and endless punishment.

On the other hand, the devil and his angels, including the sons of perdition, are assigned to a place spoken of as a lake of fire-a figure of eternal anguish. This condition is sometimes called hell in the scriptures (2 Pet. 2:4. This kind of hell, which is after the resurrection and judgment, is exclusively for the devil and his angels, and is not the same as that consisting only of the period between death and resurrection. The one group are redeemed from hell and inherit some degree of glory. The other receive no glory. They continue in spiritual darkness. For them the conditions of hell remain, that of the absence of God, Christ and The Holy Spirit.
