Why do Christians still believe in hell after this Bible portion?

Ecclesiastes 9:5-10 [New International Version (NIV)]

5. For the living know that they will die,

but the dead know nothing;

they have no further reward,

and even their name is forgotten.

6. Their love, their hate

and their jealousy have long since vanished;

never again will they have a part

in anything that happens under the sun.

7. Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do. 8 Always be clothed in white, and always anoint your head with oil. 9 Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun—all your meaningless days. For this is your lot in life and in your toilsome labor under the sun. 10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.

  1. Daniel I like the way you
    Hell fire do not simply exist but there is hell which is the common grave of mankind
    Even Jesus Christ went to hell cos he went to the grave. As simple as that

  2. Because their leaders want to instill fear into their minds.Bible clearly said that the God of love can never allow his children to pass through fire or to burn in fire.
