   Nope. Not according to the Septuagint. Sheol is hades, just as the   
   ancient Jewish translators wrote.   
      
   Jesus said:   
      
     "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my   
     church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it."   
      
   Hades has gates, bub, just as in the Greek myths. The Old Testament   
   also mentions the gates of Sheol. What a coincidence!   
      
    Job 38:17    
    Have the gates of death [sheol] been opened unto thee? or hast thou   
    seen the doors of the shadow of death?   
      
    Psalms 9:13    
    Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them   
    that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death [sheol]:   
      
    Psalms 107:18    
    Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the   
    gates of death [sheol].   
      
   What are the "gates of Hades" or the "gates of Sheol?"   
      
   Organized religion and imperial governments are the gates of Sheol   
   today. These are the gates of Hades, or the Johachin and Boaz pillars   
   one must pass between to reach the temple. These are the two pillars   
   that Sampson pushed down to destroy the mighty Philistines.   
      
   > You have been lied to by the churches long enough. Accept the Bible   
   > truth that hell is the GRAVE.Your God is not a sadist that tortures   
   > forever His disobedient children. He really is a God of love. (1 John   
   > 4:8)   
      
   Sure, the churches have been lying about Hades. They lie and say if you   
   don't obey them and give them your money you will be cast into Hades   
   and burn for eternity. But you are compounding their lies with your own   
   religious lies about soul annihilation by your Jack Kevorkian deity.   
      
   The truth is this. The churches are part of the kingdom of Hades where   
   the dead live. Jesus said of the Pharisees that they worship their   
   father, the devil. The Old Testament says that the religious crowd of   
   Israel was in contractual bondage to Sheol. This is the metaphor of   
   Sheol or Hades.   
      
   Those who trust in Jesus of Nazareth escape the gates of Hades (Sheol)   
   and enter the temple of God on the mount, high above the churches which   
   keep men chained in the pit of religion. If you leave the temple you   
   fall into the pit (religion). You can't climb back up. Jesus has to   
   raise you up.
