 What does the Bible teach about heaven and hell and the eternal place of bliss and joy and glory versus the eternal place of fire and torment and punishment known as hell? Well, there's many passages we can read about both of these places, but Matthew 25, 31 through 46, Romans chapter 2, verses 4 through 11. But again, get back to what Jesus would ask, have you not read? We have the perfect, complete law of liberty, James 1, 25.
