I once heard that hell does not exist in christianity, and that it was invented later.
That's actually false. Luke 16:19 (the story of the rich man and Lazarus) dispels this statement.
In the established canon text of the Jesus lore, a concept of Hades/Gehenna has always existed. However, there are varying fan theories about what such a "hell" actually is (cf. Eastern Orthodox views where hell and heaven are just different experiences of God's presence vs. Protestant)
