Re: Jesus, "Hell," and Destructive Relationships

I asked a specific question. I did some analysis. I wrote up an essay outlining what I think Jesus is saying in the Gospels about “hell.” As far as I can see, when Jesus talks about “hell” he is talking about disconnected relations to self, neighbor and God. “Hell” is a “whole body” experience that effects even the “soul.”

Does this not, according to your interpretation, completely alter the modern definition of hell? What role does the modern definition of hell have in your interpretation?
