(Mt 3,10). Often Jesus confirms the concept of the diligence towards the things of God: "If a man does not abide in me, he is cast forth as a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire and burned." (Gv 15,6). The fire like punishment runs back also for the operating of scandals: "And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell". (Mt 5,30). The Gehenna, or the Valley of the Hinnom, was a place near Jerusalem where the dirt burnt themselves, but also the place where to the time of the dominion cananeo came performed fires means children of sacrifices and that was worth like divine place of judgment. For those who they do not believe of the existence dell' hell across the word revealed, there will be still some hope of change of mind? Jesus same the parable of the rich glutton answers us across: "And he said, then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house, for I have five brothers, so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment. But Abraham said, they have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. And he said, No, father Abraham; but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent. He said to him, if they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead." (Lc 17,27-30).
