Christian universalists point towards the mistranslations of the Greek word αιών (Lit. aion- an epoch of time), as giving rise to the idea of eternal Hell.[20][21] Dr. Ken Vincent writes "When it (aion) was translated into Latin Vulgate, 'aion' became 'aeternam' which means 'eternal."[20] He also states that the first written record of the idea of an eternal Hell comes from Tertullian, who wrote in Latin.
