Hell is not a fiery place of torment

Ecclesiastes 5:9,10 -"For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing more, neither have they a reward any more: for the memory of them is forgotten.Whatsoever thy hand is able to do, do it earnestly: for neither work, nor reason, nor wisdom, nor knowledge shall be in hell, whither thou art hastening. "( Roman Catholic Douay Rheims 1899 edition) This clearly mentions hell as being a place where there is no work, reason, wisdom nor knowledge. It"s a place of inactivity-a grave. Acts2:31,32(Roman Catholic Douay Rheims 1899 edition)-"He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses." The Apostle stated that Jesus went to hell and God resurrected him. If hell is a place of torment for the wicked, why did a righteous man like Jesus go there? Psalms16:10-(King James Version)"For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption." The bible writer was confident that when he dies and goes to hell (grave). God wont forsake him. Genesis 44:26-29-"(Roman Catholic Douay Rheims 1899 edition)-"And we said to him: We cannot go: if our youngest brother go down with us, we will set out together: otherwise, without him we dare not see the man's face.Whereunto he answered: You know that my wife bore me two.One went out, and you said: A beast devoured him: and hitherto he appeareth not. If you take this also, and any thing befall him in the way you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow unto hell." Job14:13-15-"O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands." Righteous Job said God would hide him in a grave(hell) and God will call him out of the grave(hell). There are several scriptures that underscore the indisputable fact that the wicked will be punish if they don"t repent. Psalms37:9,10-"For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be". Isaiah 55:7-"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon." Isaiah48:22-"There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked." Isaiah1:15-"And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood." Malachi4:3-" And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts." Hell fire is deeply rooted in paganism. Constantine was the Roman emperor who convened the Council of Nicaea( the first ecumenical council of the Christian church, meeting in ancient Nicaea . Emperor Constantine I, an unbaptized catechumen, who presided and dominated over the session in 325"C.E.) Emperor Constantine influenced the church to adopt unscriptural doctrines such as hell fire. He did this to solidify his empire of pagans and Christians for political reasons. Encyclopedia Britannica adds: "Under Christianity, Greek heroes and even deities survived as saints." Emperor Constantine appointed the group of converted Christians to high positions in many parts of his empire. Very aptly, historian Paul Johnson asks: "Did the empire surrender to Christianity, or did Christianity prostitute itself to the empire?" Constantine also extended many benefits to pagan priests who became Christian ministers but still practiced paganism . For example, they received monetary support from the Empire and didn't pay taxes. False teachings such as hellfire is partly the result of the political expediency and the crafty maneuvers of a pagan emperor-Constantine.
