No Escape : From Hell

[Jack]

Surprisingly those in “Sheol” have lost the ability to think or to engage in any activity.
Is “Sheol” the “hell” you had in mind? The one Jews believed in?

Eccl 9:5, 6, 10....from the Jewish Tanakh....

5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for their remembrance is forgotten. 6 Also their love, as well as their hate, as well as their provocation has already been lost, and they have no more share forever in all that is done. . . . .
10 Whatever your hand attains to do [as long as you are ] with your strength, do; for there is neither deed nor reckoning, neither knowledge nor wisdom in the grave, [sheol] where you are going. ”

In the Greek Septuagint, the Hebrew “Sheol” is translated as “hades”...so “sheol” and “hades” mean the same thing......the common grave of all mankind....a place where we all go when we die.
“The dead know nothing”.....they are unconscious and therefore there is “neither deed nor reckoning, knowledge or wisdom” in that place.

Jews believed in resurrection..... and Jesus himself demonstrated exactly what that meant.
He resurrected his friend Lazarus.....

“These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep. Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.” (John 11: 11-14 KJV)

Where was Lazarus before Jesus raised hm? Do you see plainly what Jesus said? Lazarus was dead.

'Death' NEVER means 'cease to exist' in the Bible! NEVER! Do you even have a clue how many times Jesus warned us of the EVERLASTING fire?

ohh have you been chatting with satan again............... Naughty naughty

No, just Satan's messengers here who try to convince people there is no eternal Hell fire.

 

[MatthewG]

Well techincally, hell is dumped out so there is an escape eventually.

What does 'dumped out' mean? lol

I haven't seen that term in the Bible. Are you quoting Yahavah?

 

[MatthewG]

Gave up. Dumped out. Poured out.

This of course relies on how you define the words used in the Bible that are translated as “hell”. There are three...”Sheol”, “hades” and “Gehenna”.......not to mention “the lake of fire”.....which is somehow considered literal, and the screams of the wicked will be heard by God for all eternity......is he a sadist? Apparently he is.

You won’t see the ones promoting a fiery hell explaining which word they are referring to....I’ve tried to get them to explain but they have no answers that agree with the Bible....just a genuine glee at the prospect...

A genuine Bible study would answer that question.

Jane,
God is a consuming fire anyway. I guess Gehenna symbolic with its fire and how all garbage is burnt up when we come to Yahweh.


Beats me on whatever he wants.

No Scripture Matt?

 

[MatthewG]

No Scripture Matt?

Gave up. It's in the bible. I dont care to quote scripture all the time. Im a sinner.

You guess? "Symbolic" is a JW FAV when they don't like what God said. Sounds like you're in the same boat.

Beats me on whatever he wants.

 

[MatthewG]

There is no reason to say a Jehovah witness is not a believer in the resurrected Lord Jesus Christ....

Catholics are too.
Mormons are too.

Those remarks do not matter.

Christians LOVE quoting God of the Bible. Why don't you?

 

[MatthewG]

Cause I dont go with what you want me to do. I love being myself, and I am glad I dont have to give you attention either.

 

[Jack]

No reason? They have a different savior than Christians. Satan has stolen THE Savior from them.

Catholics are too.
Mormons are too.

Those remarks do not matter.

The Bible doesn't matter? It matters a LOT to Christians.

Is there anything in the Bible that you believe is God's written Word? I've asked stevie several times. He just runs. How about you?

 

[MatthewG]

I just ignore you. I'm abnormal. Good-bye I'm having chicken fingers tonight.

Why are you in a Christian forum? Do you even know?

 

[MatthewG]

Nope. Have a good night.

 

[Jack]

Nope. Have a good night.

I will indeed. My conscience is clear.

Jude 1:22-23
22 And on some have compassion, making a distinction;
23 but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire,
