The word "hell" in the King James Bible (as well as in the Catholic Douay Version and most older translations) was used to translate the Hebrew word she’ohl´ and the Greek word hai´des. In the King James Version the word “hell” is rendered from she’ohl´ 31 times and from hai´des 10 times. This...

You are still looking at the word "hell" from the viewpoint of the churches. Jesus used fire as symbol of destruction, not torment. At Matthew 13, Jesus gave several illustrations concerning the "kingdom of the heavens." The one at Matthew 13:24-30, of a "man that that sowed fine seed in his...

The Bible is harmonious throughout. In dealing with the nation of Israel, God has shown his attributes, with the most notable being love.(Ex. 34:6) So the question remains: How could God condemn the nation of Israel for ' burning their sons and daughters in the fire', which was only momentary...

The teaching of a "hellfire" dates long before Jesus stepped on the earth. In the book The History of Hell, by Alice K. Turner (1993), noted this about the doctrine or teaching of a "hell": "The first accounts of the Land of the Dead that we know about were written nearly four thousand years ago...

God established the nation of Israel as the one religion or "form of worship" that pleased him, which was a "tutor leading to the Christ, that we might be declared righteous due to faith."(Gal 3:24) Jesus established "the way"(John 14:6) the "one faith"(Eph 4:5) that is the one true religion...

The churches have pointed toward John 14:6 for a very long time, but have never given a detailed explanation of it. It is like someone saying "I'll show you the way" to a destination, but then is unable to explain how to get there. These have said of "Christian" religions, that "all roads lead...

Hostilities between Japan and China did begin on September 19, 1931 with the invasion of Manchuria by Japan, but this never escalated into a global war. However, with the invasion of Poland by Germany, this escalated into a global conflict and by Germany that professed to be Christian, Catholic...

You are no different than many who are unwilling to examine the facts that both WWI And WWII started in Christendom. And as for the time when it began, Time-Life Books series World War II says in the book Blitzkrieg, that following a speech by Hitler on August 31, 1939, in which he "announced...

My facts are straight concerning WWI starting in Christendom, for in 1914, the vast majority of the population in Austria-Hungary professed to be Roman Catholic (90 percent of Austria and 60 percent of Hungary), which declared war on Serbia on July 28, 1914. At the beginning of the 20th century...

Jesus defined the perimeters of what sin is. For example, he told his apostles that "these things I command you, that you love one another."(John 15:17) On his final night with his disciples, he spoke of love and loving nearly thirty times, three times repeating the command that they “love one...

Certain numbers in the Bible have specific meanings and without grasping these, there will be a failure to understand God's everlasting purpose regarding the restoration of the earth that was lost in the Garden of Eden. One must comprehend God's established view of certain numbers. For example...

At some point a superstitious idea arose among the Jews that it was wrong even to pronounce the divine name (represented by the Tetragrammaton, יהוה). Just what basis was originally assigned for discontinuing the use of the name is not definitely known. Some hold that the name was viewed as...

There never has been any "ten lost tribes", for some 200 years before even the nation of Israel was released from bondage to the Babylonians in 539 B.C.E., Hosea prophesied that "the sons of (the two tribes kingdom of ) Judah and the sons of (the ten tribe kingdom of ) Israel will certainly be...

God's name in the original Hebrew, יהוה, has been vowel-pointed in five different ways, as Yahweh at Exodus 6:3, as Yehwah at Genesis 2:4, as Yeho·wah´ at Genesis 3:14, where the divine name is vowel-pointed with the additional vowel “o", as Yehwih´ at Genesis 15:2, and as Yeho·wih´ at Judges...

There is the vital need to understand what the true religion is and who are the ones that are practicing it. Jesus taught his disciples to pray for God's name of Jehovah to be sanctified.(Matt 6:9) Are the churches doing this ? Have not they hid God's name and instead use just titles, such as...

Those who are of the "first resurrection"(Rev 20:4,6; 1 Thess 4:16) are ones chosen by God (2 Thess 2:13) that have been "bought from among mankind" (Rev 14:4), and are members of the heavenly kingdom numbering 144,000.(Rev 7; 14:1) These are called by Jesus a "little flock"(Luke 12:32), since...

The name Jehovah (YHWH) is God's personal name and is the causative form, the imperfect state, of the Heb. verb ha·wah´ (become); meaning “He Causes to Become” whereas the name Judah means "lauded or object of laudation." God explains the meaning of his name before Moses presents himself to the...

Jiffyfly, You are right that under the the guise or cloak of "religion", many a wicked deed has been done, and that people of all nationalities have been duped into believing a "lie", whereby many have "exchanged the truth of God for the lie."(Rom 1:25) Under the pretense of "religion"...

God, whose name is Jehovah (Ps 83:18), the transliterated letters being YHWH that represent his name, is from the Tetragrammaton (Hebrew יהוה). He has always existed, being without beginning or end. Moses wrote: "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and...

You are correct regarding the word "let", as used by the King James Bible at 2 Thessalonians 2:7, that it certainly brings about a misunderstanding. However, the English word "religion" does not cause any confusion on the part of the reader as does the word "let" at 2 Thessalonians 2 in the King...
