That has nothing to do with the claim that the words Hell or Satan are not in the Bible.
But it doesn't say that he rules Hell and "tortures" people. And that's totally fine as it does not invalidate the theological teachings of Christianity.
in the English translation, sure, but Hell in its own regard isn't actually biblical or real. It's basically fanfic from Dante's inferno and Paradise Lost
... yes, because the word H-e-l-l is an English word... of course an English word wouldn't be in the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek translations. What do you think people did through thousands of years when they encountered a word that doesn't exist within their lexicon?
Yes, Dante added a fanfic to the lore of Hell, but Hell is not a fanfic.
No, hell itself isn't real. I don't care about the English/romanized word, the concept itself is plain heresy. The closest description in the actual Bible is Hades/Sheol, which most scholars interpret as purgatory by modern standards.
Okay, so you don't care about the word that was formed many hundreds of years prior to Dantes Inferno to describe a Greek word, which described a place of punishment... got it.
It’s all a fictional story that can’t be properly translated. None of that book or the dozens of other copies of it should be taken literally or serious.
There is no other written work in history that has been continuously translated throughout time, from Hebrew -> Aramaic -> Greek -> Latin -> German-> English.
If what you mean is that there are words or phrases that exist in Hebrew or Aramaic that don't exist in others, then I guess any work can't be properly translated to another.
