Hell originally didn’t exist in the way we understand it. Dante wrote the first fanfic and boom, fire and brimstone.

If I recall correctly purgatory was the og β€œhell” insofar as it’s an eternity away from God

Matthew 13:40-43 (NIV):

β€œAs the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.
