   >>>>>>>>>>> verse 9).   
   >>>>>>>>>>>   
   >>>>>>>>>>> (2) The only Old Testament word translated hell in the King James   
   >>>>>>>>>>> Version   
   >>>>>>>>>>> is the Hebrew word transliterated as sheol, to which the New   
   >>>>>>>>>>> Testament   
   >>>>>>>>>>> word   
   >>>>>>>>>>> transliterated as hades corresponds.   
   >>>>>>>>>>>   
   >>>>>>>>>>> (3) In the King James translation of the Bible, sheol and hades are   
   >>>>>>>>>>> translated hell 41 times, grave 32 times and pit 3 times and   
   >>>>>>>>>>> frequently   
   >>>>>>>>>>> when translated hell, the margin reads, "or, the grave," or vice

   >>>>>>>>>>> (Psalm 49:15; 55:15; 86:13; Isaiah 14:9; Jonah 2:2; 1 Corinthians   
   >>>>>>>>>>> 15:55;

   >>>>>>>>>>> and   
   >>>>>>>>>>> hades. A close examination of all the instances sheol and hedes in   
   >>>>>>>>>>> the   
   >>>>>>>>>>> Bible shows that the usage of these words are always in agreement

   >>>>>>>>>>> what

   >>>>>>>>>>> 16:23)   
   >>>>>>>>>>> in   
   >>>>>>>>>>> which Jesus makes use of the Hellenistic adaptation of hades to

   >>>>>>>>>>> John.   
   >>>>>>>>>>> --   
   >>>>>>>>>>> Luke 16:16.   
   >>>>>>>>>>>   
   >>>>>>>>>>> (4) Some translations render forms of the Greek word often   
   >>>>>>>>>>> transliterated   
   >>>>>>>>>>> as Gehenna (Valley of Hinnom) as "hell" or "hellfire", but this   
   does   
   >>>>>>>>>>> not

   >>>>>>>>>>> "tataroo" as "cast down to hell", but the word does not mean this

   >>>>>>>>>>> (6) Satan is a liar and the father of the lie. (John 8:44) Satan   
   >>>>>>>>>>> promised   
   >>>>>>>>>>> Eve that her disobedience to God would not result in death; that   
   is,   
   >>>>>>>>>>> that   
   >>>>>>>>>>> she would not die. He has been using the promise to deceive people   
   >>>>>>>>>>> all   
   >>>>>>>>>>> over   
   >>>>>>>>>>> the world ever since. (Genesis 3:1-4; Revelation 12:9) It is Satan   
   >>>>>>>>>>> who   
   >>>>>>>>>>> has   
   >>>>>>>>>>> the world believing that a person does not really die, therefore he

   >>>>>>>>>>> to   
   >>>>>>>>>>> the world that those who are bad are roasting somewhere for all

   >>>>>>>>>>> broadly presented by a large portion of professed Christians, no   
   >>>>>>>>>>> wonder   
   >>>>>>>>>>> thousands are turning away from the Bible and going to   
   neo-paganism,   
   >>>>>>>>>>> heathen religions and philosophies, agnosticism and atheism. The

   >>>>>>>>>>> etc.   
   >>>>>>>>>>> "And when they say to you, 'Seek those who are mediums and wizards,

   >>>>>>>>>>> in   
   >>>>>>>>>>> them." -- Isaiah 8:19,20, New King James Version.   
   >>>>>>>>>>>   
   >>>>>>>>>>> (8) Many claim that hell is made up of various sections, and that   
   >>>>>>>>>>> originally paradise was a part of hell, and that another part of   
   >>>>>>>>>>> hell   
   >>>>>>>>>>> consisted of eternal torture. Contrary to the idea that any part of   
   >>>>>>>>>>> the   
   >>>>>>>>>>> Bible hell is a place of fire, torture, shrieks, etc., the Bible   
   >>>>>>>>>>> says:   
   >>>>>>>>>>> "There is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol,   
   >>>>>>>>>>> where   
   >>>>>>>>>>> you are going." - "in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol,   
   who   
   >>>>>>>>>>> shall   
   >>>>>>>>>>> give you thanks?" - "For Sheol can't praise you, death can't   
   >>>>>>>>>>> celebrate   
   >>>>>>>>>>> you." -- Ecclesiastes 9:10; Psalm 6:5; Isaiah 38:18.   
   >>>>>>>>>>>   
   >>>>>>>>>>> (9) Nevertheless, good people, as well as bad, go to sheol (the   
   >>>>>>>>>>> Bible   
   >>>>>>>>>>> hell)   
   >>>>>>>>>>> at death: e.g., Jacob went down to sheol (Genesis 37:35); Job   
   prayed   
   >>>>>>>>>>> to   
   >>>>>>>>>>> go   
   >>>>>>>>>>> to sheol, to be hidden there, until the resurrection (Job 14:13).   
   >>>>>>>>>>> Nor   
   >>>>>>>>>>> does   
   >>>>>>>>>>> the Bible even once depict the good as going to an alleged section   
   >>>>>>>>>>> of   
   >>>>>>>>>>> sheol   
   >>>>>>>>>>> called "paradise" at death, as is claimed by many. In the Bible,   
   >>>>>>>>>>> paradise
