there is an old joke of a nurse who had died and it took her two weeks to realize she was not at work. hee. forgive the humor but the question is just so grim. I think it is a yes.

When hell is translated from sheol, it only means a whole in the ground like a grave. so, yes, there is a place called hell - it is a grave.
the DEAD are in sheol (Proverbs 9:18)
souls are REDEEMED from sheol (Psalm 49:15)

If you were God, and had the power to forgive or condemn whomever you chose, would you let people go to Hell? Would there be a single person you would not forgive?If your answer is yes, then who would that be? and why?
