Where exactly is HELL? In the earth's inners? or ??? Location? X marks the spot?

For those that believe in Hell, I think Hell resides in their minds, not in a physical place.

hell has a 3 different meanings in the bible

In the OT hell is used 31 times from the hebrew word "sheol" which means "grave"

In the NT hell is used 10 times from the greek word "hades" which means "grave"

NT - 12 times from the greek word "Gehenna" which was a garbage dump outside of Jerusalem, Gehenna is also used as a symbol of annihilation/destruction for the wicked on judgment day.

NT- 1 time from the greek word "Tartarus" which means "a place of outer darkness", where Satan and his demons will be locked up during the 1,000 year millennium.

the "eternal torment doctrine" is  not biblical. (there are a few passages in the bible which may seem as if it teaches this doctrine but they can easily be debunked with good reasoning)

Many years ago, the then Leader of the USSR, a man called Nikita Khruschev, pointed to the fact that he had sent Yuri Gagarin into space and no place like "heaven" had been found.

During the same period, the Russians were digging a deep hole in the Earth's crust (so were the Americans, as it happens) - the world waited for Khruschev to say he couldn't find hell either.

He was actually deposed shortly afterwards and so the statement was never made. The Earth did turn out to be a great deal hotter and wetter down there than anyone expected though.

(The US gave up their attempt to dig deeper after one of their scientists likened the process to "Trying to drill a hole in the sidewalk from the top of the Empire State Building using a string of spaghetti.")

Well, we always called Vietnam, the Green Hell, so that must be where it is !

Hell is in this world.

And also what Hippy said. It's just human's mind. Mind is too powerful. Everything is about believing.

I really don't think there is an actual discription of Hell, because different religions have it mean different things. Some Christian denominations will tell you it is a state of mind, others will tell you it is the complete absence of God, and yet still others believe it is a place of complete physical torment (even though there is no physical body).

All in all, it is really a made up place to give you the ideal of Christian "Freewill". "Either follow my description of God and go to heaven, or not follow my description of God and go to hell to be in torment forever" It helps keep the sheep in line.

There are some Bible references to Hell, but the word used is She'ol

she'ol was the same ideology as the Greeks Hades:

" The Babylonians had a similar underworld called Aralu, and the Greeks had one known as Hades. For biblical references to Sheol see Genesis 42:38, Isaiah 14:11, Psalm 141:7, Daniel 12:2, Proverbs 7:27 and Job 10:21,22, and 17:16, among others. According to Brichto, other Biblical names for Sheol were: Abaddon (ruin), found in Psalm 88:11, Job 28:22 and Proverbs 15:11; Bor (the pit), found in Isaiah 14:15, 24:22, Ezekiel 26:20; and Shakhat (corruption), found in Isaiah 38:17, Ezekiel 28:8"

When I still believed, I found the concept represented in "What Dreams May Come" to be what I thought hell might be. This concept is in line with others whom have mentioned "State of Mind" and not a place.

In Islam hell is the place where Bad people are punished for their wrong deeds.

Say it as you like it is jut a pit of fire

A fire tat burns hotter than the hottest thing on earth.

And you will burn and disintegrate

Reform and disintegrate again.

Where all imaginary places are. In someone's mind.

Get hooked on drugs or alcohol you will go thrue hell.  I been their its no fun.  Living clean is heaven

I'm not sure it is a "place," so I'm not sure it has a location ("where," in the sense that we use the word); but I do think it exists.

I find it useful to think of it as a "state of being" in which humans who have made themselves incapable of being in the presence of God "wind up" somehow.

I also think it is very difficult to get there---you really have to be "stubborn" enough to get there.

And I feel the need to comment on the assertion in one of the answers above: " 'Either follow my description of God and go to heaven, or not follow my description of God and go to hell to be in torment forever' It helps keep the sheep in line."

Going to Heaven rather than Hell hasn't motivated me since I was about 10 years old.

Once you come to experience and understand God's love and mercy and providence and the Kingdom of Heaven and the Mystical Body of Christ, the prospect of Hell ceases to be a meaningful factor in one's choices.

Not all persons dying have died on the dry land and been buried in a grave in the bosom of the earth. Countless numbers have died at sea in shipwreck and storm and battle and have been buried at sea or their bodies have never been recovered to be given a burial on dry land. Since hell in mankind's common grave, then there is the location of hell.

I would ask pope Francis since the popes are infallible when educating about the faith.
