Do Christians believe their god made hell when he transformed into Jesus and

ate the poison apple? Jews don’t believe in a hell concept like Christians do. They have no belief in a place of eternal punishment for people who die without accepting the Jewish dogma as absolute truth. Jews wrote the Tanakh which Romans later rewrote and called the Old Testament. So it stands to reason that no human believed in a hell concept prior to the New Testament being written. The Greeks believed in a hell concept very similar to the Christian hell concept so it seems that the Romans borrowed the hell concept from the Greeks because they thought it was a pretty method of manipulating people into their new Christian religion. But of course, I’m writing about this stuff from an atheist’s perspective which means my judgment isn’t clouded by fear that these concepts might be real. Christians actually do believe in this fanciful stuff, so I’m really just asking how they manage to make sense of it all? Do they think that their Jesus concept and their hell concept are somehow intricately woven together?
