Sparking, kindling a debate...

What is the biblical/Orthodox view of hell?
On one hand the medieval images of Dante  emerge in our minds.  Demons grasping pitched forks  tormenting  the unrepentant. Then  a literalistic  reading  of hell in the Holy Scripture which  speaks of underground chambers in the earth  etc. I believe, following Scripture and the Fathers,  that hell is two  fold like heaven.

“The kingdom of God is within  you”  Luke 17:20.  Heaven  can be experienced as an earnest of the Spirit even now.
Heaven  that is not experienced now will not be experienced later.  God  places Eden in our hearts now as a foretaste. Yes, simply,  a fore taste. Why only a foretaste?  Two reasons.
“Eye has not seen nor ear  heard neither entered into  our hearts the things which God has prepared for them that love him.”
1.We simply are incapable in our present state to receive the fullness of Grace.

“Come you  blessed of my Father inherit the kingdom  prepared for you from the foundation of the world”
 2.Heaven, more properly the kingdom  of heaven,  is inherited at the bodily resurrection.

In the same way-

Hell is experienced now as a foretaste by our passions. St Gregory of Sinai  said it this way:

“Passionate habits are the precursors of the torment of hell, just as active virtues are the forerunners of the kingdom of heaven.” (Philokalia, Prayer of the Heart, St Gregory of Sinai saying 35.)

 Biblically this runs smack against a fundamentalist interpretation.  When  the average person on the street says  hell is on earth,  they are half  right. People have a foretaste here.  Biblically as well, we see the fire of hell is not necessarily  just physical.  According to Scripture  it cannot be. 
Here is how Saint  Iakobos  in his letter described it:
5  Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
(Js.3:5-6)

The Greek  actually says the tongue is flogizmenh upo thj geenhj. That is,  it is set on fire, enkindled by  Gehenna.  According to the Scriptures and the Fathers,  we can experience heaven  and hell in foretaste now by our lives.  Are we consumed by God the consuming fire (Heb.10:31)?  Or are we consumed by the flame of desire,  the flame of hell?
