Death = hell. It's sort of used as a euphemism for hell sometimes. According to the Bible, if there wasn't any sin, there wouldn't be pain, death, or hell. The alternative to death (hell) is 1) not sinning at all in the first place or 2) salvation (Christ suffered death (hell) so that we don't have to).
Since the penalty for sin is death, in the Old Testament, the Jews sacrificed lambs and the death of the lamb (a costly sacrifice) paid for their sins. We no longer do that because Jesus was a sinless sacrifice. He was the most costly sacrifice- God himself experiencing death and hell as a man so we wouldn't have to. He is the ONLY way to heaven because he is the only sinless man who ever lived or ever will live.

Death does not equal Hell, where'd you get that from? Are you a Gideon?
Death speaking in Terry Pratchett's The Last Continent : I THINK PERHAPS YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND. PEOPLE'S WHOLE LIVES DO PASS IN FRONT OF THEIR EYES BEFORE THEY DIE. THE PROCESS IS CALLED "LIVING." WOULD YOU LIKE A PRAWN?
