  1. Hell Fire “he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone … the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever” - Revelation 14:10-11

  2. Agenda • Look how the word hell is used in the Bible • Old Testament Hebrew • New Testament Greek • Compare Bible Doctrine of Hell with popular doctrine of hell • Answer the question of what happens to us when we die

  3. Hell as a Word • Origin is Anglo-Saxon = “Covered or hidden place” • Compare: • “Helmet” - head cover • “Heler” - tiler or thatcher of roofs • “Heling potatoes” - to cover with dirt (plant)

  4. “Sheol” is translated = “concealed or covered place” = “grave” PSALM 49:14 “Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling” In the Old Testament

  5. “Sheol” is translated = “concealed or covered place” = “grave” PSALM 49:14 PSALM 49:15 “But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me.” In the Old Testament

  6. “Sheol” is translated = “concealed or covered place” = “grave” PSALM 49:14 PSALM 49:15 ECCLESIASTES 9:10 “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest” In the Old Testament

  7. “Sheol” is translated = “concealed or covered place” = “grave” PSALM 49:14 PSALM 49:15 ECCLESIASTES 9:10 ISAIAH 14:15 “Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit” In the Old Testament

  8. In the New Testament • Three Greek Words used • “Hades” • “Gehenna” • “Tartaroo”

  9. In the New Testament • “Hades” • “The unseen or hidden, invisible place” • Identical to Hebrew“Sheol” • Translated from “Sheol” to “Hades” in Septuagint version “and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them” (Revelation 20:12 - see marg.)

  10. In the New Testament • “Gehenna” - Jerusalem's Rubbish Tip HinnomPronounced As: hnom , valley, W and S of Jerusalem. Its ill repute in the Bible emanated from the worship there of foreign gods, including supposed child sacrifice to Molech at Tophet. In later Jewish literature it was called Ge-Hinnom [Heb.,=valley of Hinnom] and in the Greek of the New Testament, Gehenna. A place for burning refuse in later Israelite times, it provided imagery for a fiery Hell in the Books of Isaiah and the New Testament. It appears as Jahannam in the Qur'an.

  11. In the New Testament • “Tartaroo” - occurs only once “For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down into hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness to be reserved unto judgement” (2 Peter 2:4) • Straight from Greek Methology

  12. Tartarus Homer makes Zeus say, “I will cast him into misty tartaros … deepest gulf beneath the earth” ( Iliad 8,13)

  13. Tartarus Hera (queen of the Olympian gods, daughter of Kronos and Rhea. ) “called all the gods, even those below Tartaros” (Iliad 14,279)

  14. The Bible Doctrine • Hell in the Bible simply signifies the Grave • The translators have been inconsistent through bias • The same word is translated both grave & hell

  15. The Popular Doctrine • Hell is a place where the spirits of the wicked go. • Presided over by the devil • who with the demons, perpetrates torment by fire • The idea came originally from Paganism - Greek methology

  16. It depends on the false teaching of the immortality of the Soul The wicked die and corrupt in the grave, not in eternal fire “The soul that sinneth, it shall die” - (Ezekiel 18:4,20) “He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death” - (Revelation 2:11) The Church Doctrine of Hell Falls

  17. Gods Character Denied • Would an all powerful God allow an angel to disobey Him? • Would a merciful God allow eternal torment? • What would you think of a man who tortured a savage dog for a week?

  18. “the servant which new his lord’s will shall be beaten with many stripes … he that knew not … shall be beaten with few stripes” (Luke 12:47-48)

  19. “They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall not rise:” (Isaiah 26:14)

  20. “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned:” (Mark 16:16)

  21. “When the Son of man shall come in his glory … he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:” (Matthew 25:31-32)

  22. “He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death:” (Revelation 2:11)

  23. “He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death:” (Revelation 2:11)

  24. “Who will render to every man according to his deeds:” (Romans 2:6)

  25. What’s the best thing to do • Read the Bible • Believe in the Bible • Be Baptized • Obey God’s commands • Try to be the best that we can in our lives
