The Bible uses various terms to refer to the concept of heaven and hell, such as sheol, hades, gehenna, the lake of fire, paradise, and Abraham's bosom. These terms are often used synonymously and refer to the same place. Hades is the New Testament equivalent of the Old Testament word sheol, and both refer to the present hell. However, the word hell has a narrower meaning in English and does not encompass the full meaning of infernus in Greek or Hebrew. Gehenna, on the other hand, refers specifically to the place of punishment for the wicked dead, while hades is the domain of the souls of the dead. The story of Lazarus and the rich man serves as an example of this distinction. Additionally, paradise and Abraham's bosom are often used to describe a place of peace and rest for the righteous dead. Overall, the different terms used for heaven and hell in the Bible highlight the complex and often misunderstood concept of life after death.
