It would seem that if, according
to Christendom's doctrines, 90% or more of mankind will end up in eternal

If the Creator
loved us and created such a horrible place for most of mankind, he would
surely have plastered the warning everywhere.

No, Sheol is the grave. Very simple and
very plain.

Please note if Jonah was
in "hell," as the KJV has it, then Jonah escaped from a place where,
according to modern theologians, there is no escape.

"Hell" cannot even be found in the Old Testament in dozens of English translations,
many of which are accepted by mainstream conservative churches.

Most translations that mention
it at all, mention it only 12 to 14 times, the King James being the King
of Hell mentioning only it 22 times in the New Testament, not even once
per book!

Paul, the apostle to the nations, never used the word "hell"

The doctrines of fear
and demons entered the church in full force when Constantine made Christianity
the religion of the Roman Empire. When the political system of Rome merged
with the heirarchial structure of the church, the death knoll sounded. The
church became full of unconverted pagans who brought their pagan ideas with
them. The church absorbed them and it died. Dark ages. . millions of people
killed in the name of Christ. Fear and the doctrines of fear and of demons
again controlled the world. The pagan doctrine of eternal torment was added
to the Latin Vulgate.
