Christians open your eyes to the lie that is hell. Several different words are mistranslated in the english bible to hell to decieve. If you don't believe in the bible, then I understand why, because it has been mistranslated in many different ways. The truth is that all are part of the creator and all will be reconciled in the end. [/quote] There is no mention of "hell" or any possibility of suffering after death anywhere in the Hebrew Bible or OT. The Hebrew word Sheol clearly means the grave not hell. This can easily be confirmed because if Sheol is translated as hell the Christian dogma of hell as an inescapable place of suffering where God is absent is immediately refuted. This is true because: 1)King David said that if he made his bed in Sheol, God would be there with him 2)Job asked to be hidden from suffering in Sheol 3)the sons of Korah said that God would redeem them from Sheol and 4)the prophet Ezekiel and the apostle Paul agreed that all Israel would be saved and yet Israel himself said that he would be reunited with his son Joseph in Sheol. How can all Israel be saved if Israel himself is in hell? In each case Sheol clearly means the grave and cannot be interpreted as hell unless hell is heaven. [/quote] Right, and the new testament? [/quote] But there is no mention of the creation or purpose of hell in the NT or any verse in the entire bible that ever announced that the penalty for sin changed from death to hell. Why would God clearly announce the penalty of death before it was enacted but never once mention the far more serious penalty of hell before it was enacted? That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. A loving just God could not create an eternal hell and fail to immediately warn the whole world about it. But obviously the whole world was not warned about the creation of hell. Indians knew absolutely nothing about hell before 1492. Billions of people have lived and died never having heard anything about hell or Christ. Would anyone who had never read the Bible consider God to be just if he died and woke up in hell? Of course not. [/quote] So then the glorious good news is that some will live and most will die? Got it. [/quote] An eternal hell would make God unjust but according to the bible hell did not preexist and was never created. From beginning to end the bible is silent about either the preexistence or creation of hell. The Greek word hades does not mean hell. As with sheol everyone went to hades when they died both words clearly mean the grave. What does all this mean? If you believe in a loving just God you might conclude that hell has always been either an error of translation or an outright human fabrication. Why would human beings invent hell? Ancient greek philosophers like celsus pointed out hell was a good way to control the unwashed masses. Hell was also a handy way to increase church attendance and revenues. [/quote]
