The words “soul and spirit” and the words “hades and Gehenna” are good examples of different words in the original language that are misinterpreted.Please give me an example of a 1611 edition KJV mistake that has been proven needed correction by later editions (most all are since the 1960's) correct?
Example...Pneuma=greek=ghost ...correct is..... Spirit.
Yes, there are no such things as “ghosts”. “Ghost” comes from a German word “geist” which means “spirit”.
Humans inhabit the material realm where God created them, and spirits inhabit the spirit realm where God created them.....so humans are “souls”...they do not become disembodied spirits unless they have been chosen to rule with Christ in his kingdom. Not all Christians go to heaven....the majority will become their subjects on earth where God will return them to life. (John 5:28-29)
A “soul” in the Hebrew Scriptures is basically any creature that breathes……animals and humans are all “souls”…and all are mortal. All breathe the same air and die the same death. (Eccl 3:19-20)
There is no mention of an immortal soul in any passage of scripture. No mortal can be immortal unless they are transformed by the one who created them....given a new birth in a new body. They then become spirits, not souls any longer.
The word spirit seems to be used interchangeably with soul for some reason, which is why there is so much confusion about death and where dead souls end up. The Bible does not mix them up.
There are two resurrections, to two different destinations.....the “first resurrection” is for the elect (Rev 20:6) but for the vast majority of those “sleeping in death” in sheol/hades.....they are called from their graves by Jesus when he rules in his Father’s kingdom. (John 5:28-29)
“Hell” is another word completely mistranslated and misinterpreted.
There is no such place as a “hell of eternal torment” in the Bible. Jesus mentions “Gehenna” as a symbolic place, a literal place with a symbolic meaning to his Jewish audience.
It was a literal garbage dump where garbage was disposed of.....even human garbage. Fires were kept burning day and night with the addition of Sulfur (brimstone) in order to consume the rubbish. Nothing alive was ever thrown into Gehenna.
There is no conscious part of man that departs from the body at death.....(Eccl 9:5, 10)
