Subject: Re: hello...you know me as xxxxxx..have more questions
Question:
Still working on study, and I'm confused. I have heard there are
differnt chambers in Hades for people. Is this true, if so is it for
differnt types of sins, and will it matter in the end? Is there differnt
punishment for differnt sins?
Answer:
Hi xxxxxx,
It is so good to hear from you again.
On your questions about Hell. Yes there are different parts, and different punishments (Luke 12:47-48). The Bible tells us that there are
Question:
Why is paridise in Hades? Why isn't it where God resides? In the end
will Heaven be here on Earth or out of Earth?
Answer:
Why is Paradise in Hades (Hell)? The reason that Paradise was in Hell, was that No One could enter
Heaven without accepting Jesus Christ. So God set up a holding place for the godly.
From the above paragraph you can see why Paradise was not in Heaven where God resides.
As to where the final heaven will be, I do not know. I do know that God will take up residence in New Jeruselam on the New Earth. If you want to call that heaven, it is alright with me. Your guess is as good as anyone elses. The Bible does not say.
I include the following references that may help you. I have included some notes in blue.
May Jesus lead you into All God's Truth

Hell
Derived from the Saxon helan, to cover; hence the covered or the invisible place. In Scripture there are
three words so rendered:
2. The Greek word hades of the New Testament has the same
scope of signification as sheol of the Old Testament. It is a prison #1Pe 3:19 with gates and bars and locks #Mt 16:18 Re 1:18 and it is

TORMENT of the wicked
Hinnom
A deep, narrow ravine separating Mount Zion from the so-called "Hill of Evil Counsel." It took its name
from "some ancient hero, the son of Hinnom." It is first mentioned in #Jos 15:8 It had been the place where the idolatrous Jews burned their children alive to Moloch and Baal. A
particular part of the valley was called Tophet, or the "fire-stove, "where the children were burned. After
the Exile, in order to show their abhorrence of the locality, the Jews made this valley the receptacle of
the offal of the city, for the destruction of which a fire was, as is supposed, kept constantly burning
there. The Jews associated with this valley these two ideas,
