Assuming it was federal minimum wage of $7.25/hr and he was working 60 hour weeks with 20 hours of time and a half pay at $10.875 it would take exactly 9,149,826 years working 3120 hours a year for a total of 28,547,457,120 hours worked. Or if satan is nice and lets him have more time off and jeff only has to work 40 hours a week then he will have to work 15,994,695 years or a total of 33,268,965,600 hours. If only hell were real so billionaires could be adequately punished.

Thankfully, hell is real and the vast majority of billionaires are going there.

Matthew 19:24

Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.

You missed the best part where christ is being asked how to achieve salvation and he answers basically sell all your possessions and donate all of the money from them to the poor then you will know righteousness.

But yeah, christ was jewish and most orthodox jews don’t believe in hell. Hell became a punishment within the myth of judaism after Alexander the great Hellenized the levant and greek culture mixed in so the concept of Haedes integrated into the myth. Before this as is said in genesis the punishment for sin was just death and really within the adam and eve creation myth eve’s consumption of the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil was not only a tool of misogyny to blame it on women but also just the vehicle to explain why human beings die.

But hell is the most illogical idea of what happens after we die because science has already proven all matter and energy are recycled to maintain equilibrium so reincarnations is a far more likely reality than eternal suffering by a petty being that is supposed to love his creation but also abuses us worse than the wife in an arranged marriage during the eighteenth century

Incredibly based.

Orthodox judaism and the Judaism that Christ followed are completely different religions.

Our idea of science is only regarding the material world.
