15. Another word used in the Christian Greek Scriptures was 'Hades'.

From my understanding, Gehenna was an actual place around Jerusalem where they burnt trash 24/7 and used Sulphur to keep it burning.

Of course, when the King James bible translated the ancient scriptures, they simply took these three words to denote the grave or death, Sheol, Gehenna and Hades and simply replaced them with the word HELL. Lot's of important concepts were lost in the translation.
