(Afterlife) An Old Testament Biblical reference to heaven is Isaiah 25:8-12 and Ezekiel 28:24-26. (The Holy Bible) A New Testament Biblical reference to heaven is John 14:2-4 and Revelation 22:5-9. (Bible) Biblical interpretations have remained consistent over time from a fundamental perspective, but have changed in terms of focus that parishioners may place on the subject related to heaven or hell. (Robinson, B.A.) Hell for Christians has been derived from the New Testament portions of biblical text. However, both new and old testament readings reference hell in specific. An Old Testament Biblical reference to hell is Genesis 44:29 and Job 17:13. (Bible) A New Testament Biblical reference to hell is Matthew 10:28 and Mark 9:43. (Bible) Hell represents a picture of unpleasant and painful descriptions which are the result of judgment. This nature of judgment is inconsistent in terms of the teaching of main stream Protestants versus other Christian denominations. Saving grace comes from accepting Jesus Christ as their Savior; while the Greek Orthodox Church and Catholic Church instruct that the judgment pivots on both faith and works. Like the concept of heaven these views of biblical representations have not changed over time, however the churches focus has changed to some degree becoming less focused on hell and eternal damnation and more focused on God's love.
