Mark 9
42 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.
43 If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—
44 where
‘ Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’

45 And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—
46 where
‘ Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’

47 And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire—
48 where
‘ Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’

I believe option 1 and 2 - Hell is a physical place and it is separation from God for eternity. Not sure which one I should check.

Hell was created for the devil and his angels where they will be tormented for ever and ever. Unfortunately, it is also the place for those who do not come to God by obedience to the gospel.

You didn't include "None of the Above" in the poll. I probably would have voted for that.

Mt 11:23And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to HELL: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this DAY.
Ps 16:10For thou wilt not leave my soul in HELL; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
Ps 55:15Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into HELL: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.
Ps 139:8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in HELL, behold, thou art there.

How many more do you want???

I'm not really happy referring to hell as a 'literal location', since I have no idea where such a location is. In the bowels of the earth? At the far reaches of the universe? The same goes for heaven; I don't really consider them to be 'literal locations' that we could plot on a map, but rather existing in the supernatural realm, the details of which I have little comprehension.

Maddog, maybe it would be easier to refer to hell as a literal spiritual place. i.e. non-literal does not mean make believe, the spiritual world is real.

LUKE 16: 19....
There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.


as the rich man ask so shall we, tell my brothers about this place !

as you can see this is litteral and is no joke. and he was there doing Moses day and is still there now.
as the Bible say; where the flames burns forever and the worms never die.
If anyone can't see the warning that Christ Jesus has giving here; I pray God have mercy on their soul.

Hell is real; and the the only way to avoid it is Jesus Christ the Lord of glory; our redeemer, our salvation.

I've always thought the post cookie put up makes hell very clear. Burning and being tormented in fire. It also makes it very clear that everyone will be told about hell. Everyone has a chance to not go there.

1 and 2. I believe that hell is a literal location after death, and is also an eternal separation from God.
Here are some scriptures:
Matthew 5:29-30 "If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
2 Thessalonians 1:9 "They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of His power."
Luke 16:23-26 "In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. So he called to him, "Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire. But Abraham replied, "Son, remember tha tin your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us".
Matthew 7:12-14 "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. BUt small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."
Revelation 14:10 "He, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of His wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night forthose who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name."
Revelation 20:14-15 "Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

You can tell God your having a hard time understanding about hell and heaven. You may a kinda Thomas person can't believe what you don't see. You can ask him to give you dreams and visons.

I believe that hell is an actual location but I also believe that it is a seperation from God for eternity as well.
