I actually covered this in my thread about The Rich Man and Lazarus... Literal or Figurative?

Didn't you read it?

But I still ask the question, what is the Ancient term for "hell"? The answer is, there is none.



Your "argument " is moot.


Once again, you are wrong.

There are a lot of words without an "ancient term" that exist and define that which exists.


Perhaps. But not every word of any language is in the Bible.

Every word that is in the English version of the Bible must have an ancient counterpart. If not, it is not a translation, but an interpretation.

You KJV is just such a version--- an interpretation.

There is always a beginning to every word and language.
Just because certain words are not ancient as you like to keep saying over and over does not make a case for your "argument " whatsoever .


I am not sure what you are trying to say here. We are not studying languages, but the Bible. I am not interested in studying "every word and language" And it is evident that you have not studied "every word and language."

The concept of hell is clearly depicted in The Scriptures .
Not everyone goes to Paradise then Heaven.


The concept of "hell" is absent from the Scriptures. It is clearly just not there. There is no ancient word for "hell." No origin for "hell."

The concept of a "hell" began in Christianity with the Catholic church. The Jews had no "hell." And Jesus never spoke of a "hell."

The Catholic reasoned that "hell" must be a very cold place, as it was the farthest away from God. Demons and devils were depicted on church windows as blue, to reflect the extreme cold. The concept of a hot "hell" didn't come in until sometime after the 10th century.

The Catholic church added the term 'gehenna' to the word 'sheol' and came up with a hot "hell." Red demons started to spring up in stained glass windows. Perhaps in 100 years, they will turn green.

This is NOT how God operates. His word does not change.

Therefore where do those who reject the free gift of salvation from our Lord and Saviour Jesus the Christ go?


If you are confused about where you will go after death, perhaps you need to read the Bible. Jesus told us exactly where we all go. John spoke of it in the Book of Revelation.

CLV 1Co 15:42 Thus also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is roused in incorruption.

CLV 1Co 15:51 Lo! a secret to you am I telling! We all, indeed, shall not be put to repose, yet we all shall be changed,
52 in an instant, in the twinkle of an eye, at the last trump. For He will be trumpeting, and the dead will be |roused incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal put on immortality.
54 Now, whenever this corruptible should be putting on incorruption and this mortal should be putting on immortality, then shall come to pass the word which is written, Swallowed up was Death by Victory.
55 Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?





I'm not confused one bit, but clearly you are by your statements.

It's only open if you both agree to it and know what's going on.

In a 2016 interview, Superintendent Eddie Johnson and Deputy Superintendent Kevin Navarro, speculated on the rise in homicides. They blamed, in part, a perceived willingness by criminals to settle disputes with guns, and what they said is a failure on the part of the justice system to hold them accountable.
"We used to respond to gang fights in progress ... now we respond to shots fired," Navarro said. "People fought. Now everyone picks up the gun. Just like that."

Many factors are behind the spike, including access to guns, the fracturing and factioning of street gangs, and poverty and disinvestment in the most effected communities.

from those IN the middle of it, it sounds as if common sense gun law and enforcement, community opportunities and investment may be some of what can positively affect the violence rate.


In 2017, Chicago had the most gun violence related incidents among all U.S. cities. Safety is becoming more and more important to the city’s residents, as well as anyone looking to move to the city.
Just look at the raw numbers: There were 2,547 shootings with at least one victim (excluding accidental ones). In total, 539 people were killed and 2,626 were injured. The most shootings (291) happened in July, while the fewest happened in March (144).

And you really think that any kind of law.. be it gun or and other law is going to stop lawless gangbangers from getting guns? The guys who are shooting, murdering, selling drugs are going to stop and think twice because of... guns laws?... really?

Has any kind of laws stopped them to date?

Chicago's violence problem is a direct result of the gang problem there, which is the highest ( in member numbers) then ANY other metro area in the U.S. Some of them ( gangs) going back to 1950, meaning they are well established, very organized and certainly have the fire power.

They already have enough guns to last them for 10 -15 years, so what it a new law going to actually do?



perhaps identify criminals BEFORE the crime, by making the possession itself a crime without proper documents, kind of like citizenship.


having a gun is a right. however if one is carrying without the proper registration and documentation/licensing, it should be treated as an offense in itself with the guns AT THAT POINT (after an actual crime AND verification of illegal ownership) be stripped from them as well as their right to have a weapon.

perhaps a license database for legal gun ownership just like driver license, that police can check against id to verify the owner has no restriction on carrying.

there are things that can be done, that are not gonna be any problem for 'legal' gun owners.

Just think some people want ligitimate gun owners to have stricter laws to purchase their guns.

Criminals will always get guns!


Exactly.

Being a great or "best" artist cannot be determined by sales in my opinion.

Are you suggesting musician ? (Which is a form of art) , or all forms of art?

New gun laws or any laws will not stop the senseless blood shed in Chicago and abroad.

Only the change of heart and renewing of the mind in a Godly aspect will bring forth actual real positive continual change .

This is the truth.
