Hello dear brothers and sisters in Christ!

I am searching for specific passages in the bible that confirm the Holy Fathers understanding of hell as being a state of displacement from God, rather than a specific place with fire and brimstones.

Thank you,
Marianthy

Marianthy,

This is probably not the answer you want but it can be used systematically for any keyword search in the bible. Refer to this link (I already did a search for "hell" but you need to do the work and find the passages you are interested in):
