Then I'll save you the effort and tell you- Hell isn't real and neither is Heaven. Those are Greek concepts taken up by Hellenized Jews who, long after Jesus was dead, claimed to follow him. Why would you think Jesus actually talked a lot about Hell? Oh, the church that Jesus didn't found told you. And the four Gospels were written by between 70 and 110 AD by men who then put the name of some of Jesus' actual Apostles on them to make the stories seem authentic.

Paul founded the Church decades after Jesus was dead and though he wrote his first letter to one of the churches he founded in roughly 70 AD, the 'gospels' accepted by Bishops in 325 AD were chosen from many thousands of writings on slips of papyrus and carefully edited them to get across the message they wanted congregants to believe. And using the Greek concepts of 'Heaven' and 'Hell' were great motivators in keeping people in line while taking their money from them.
