'hell' is word with Pagan origins and should never be used in connection with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
Hel is an entity in Norse mythology, a daughter of Loki,  who is said to preside over an underworld realm of the same name, where she receives a portion of the dead. Hel is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century. In addition, she is mentioned in poems recorded in Heimskringla and Egils saga that date from the 9th and 10th centuries, respectively. An episode in the Latin work Gesta Danorum, written in the 12th century by Saxo Grammaticus, is generally considered to refer to Hel, and Hel may appear on various Migration Period bracteates.

In the Poetic Edda, Prose Edda, and Heimskringla, Hel is referred to as a daughter of Loki. In the Prose Edda book Gylfaginning, Hel is described as having been appointed by the god Odin as ruler of a realm of the same name, located in Niflheim. In the same source, her appearance is described as half blue and half flesh-coloured and further as having a gloomy, downcast appearance. The Prose Edda details that Hel rules over vast mansions with many servants in her underworld realm and plays a key role in the attempted resurrection of the god Baldr.

Scholarly theories have been proposed about Hel's potential connections to figures appearing in the 11th-century Old English Gospel of Nicodemus and Old Norse Bartholomeus saga postola, that she may have been considered a goddess with potential Indo-European parallels in Bhavani, Kali, and Mahakali or that Hel may have become a being only as a late personification of the location of the same name.

Well stated, brother!  My research turned up much the same, from the "hell" of the KJV, to the "hell" and "hel" of the 1611 KJV, to the "hell," "hel" and "helle" of Beowulf, to the Hel of Norse mythology.

The Bible itself uses mythology too.
The most ontopic one is Hades, which the ancient Greeks built a whole doctrine around.
We all know it from Hollywood, titans etc

Hell is Scandinavian. Thor, Loki, many viking movies.


Hell is good translation. It means hidden and that's not a really bad translation.
Where it goes wrong is attaching all that false doctrine to that word.
But it's not the Scandinavian doctrine because theirs is eternal cold.
Fire seems to come from Egyptian mythology. http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/hell.htm
BTW they also have a lake of fire.
