What do the Dead Sea scrolls say?
daywalker:
The Dead Sea Scrolls are not 'separate' from the Bible. They're are just more ancient manuscripts of the Original. They are in both Hebrew and Greek, so they use the same words as all other manuscripts
Hebrew: Sheol
Greek: Hades, Gehenna, Tartarus.
Since none of the Originals were written in English, you won't find the word "hell" in any of them.
Hope that answers your question,

Well gee? I don't thing they're more ancient than the originals. Don't think that would be possible.
TheRysta:
I didn't know that they were all the same. I did think that there were some new manuscripts. I got this from little adverts I saw over the net saying, "Dead Sea scrolls reveal suprise about hell" and things like that.

When it comes to the Originals, there are some slight variations between some manuscripts...
Example: "The last twelve verses, 16:9–20, are not present in the fourth century manuscripts Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, the earliest complete manuscripts of Mark."

Also, unfortunately, some of the many Originals which have been discovered over the years have been tampered with by corrupt people.. usually Church Leaders and Theologians [ironically]... :o
Example: The Comma Johanneum
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma_Johanneum
There are also many manuscripts which are not genuine, and have been forged.. Example: the Gospel of Judas.
Of the thousands of manuscripts that have been found over the centuries, many of them are fragments, ranging from a few verses, to a few chapters, very few are complete books. That's what made the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls so huge.. because it contained several complete books. [I personally haven't seen any of them, but I base this knowledge on a little research that I have done...].
As for the Dead Sea Scrolls containing a 'new revelation' different from the other Original manuscripts, that's simply not true. You won't EVER find the English word "Hell" in ANY Hebrew or Greek Manuscript.
IF you haven't done so already, I'd recommend these studies:
