Biblical Answer

The Bible is clear that Jesus Christ did, in fact, talk about hell. The New Testament records that Jesus often spoke about the reality of hell and the consequences of sin. In fact, Jesus talked about hell more than he talked about heaven (Matthew 5:29-30, 10:28, 23:33). This emphasis on the reality of hell is not surprising, given the biblical teaching that Jesus is the Savior who came to deliver people from the wrath of God that is to come (1 Thessalonians 1:10). If Jesus did not talk about hell, it would be inconsistent with his message of salvation.

The fact that Jesus talked about hell is also seen in his dialogue with Satan during his temptation in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11, Luke 4:1-13). In this dialogue, Jesus encountered the devil and engaged in a conversation with him. This conversation shows that Jesus was not indifferent to hell, but rather was deeply concerned about the reality of hell and the consequences of sin. Jesus' warnings about hell are grounded in his love for humanity and his desire to save people from the wrath of God that is to come.

The Bible also teaches that Jesus did not go to hell as a place of punishment, but rather as a place of victory over sin and death (Psalm 16:10, Ephesians 4:8-10). In fact, the Bible says that Jesus preached to the spirits in prison who were disobedient in the days of Noah (1 Peter 3:18-20). This shows that Jesus' descent into hell was not a place of punishment, but rather a place of ministry and evangelism. Jesus' descent into hell is a powerful reminder of his love for humanity and his desire to save people from the wrath of God that is to come. His warnings about hell are not meant to scare people, but rather to motivate them to repent and turn to him for salvation.
