The True Meaning of Hell!

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css="" css_animation="none"]

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The Bible does not support the popular view of hell as a place of torment for the unrighteous after death. Rather the original Hebrew and Greek words describe hell simply as a covered place, the grave or a pit. When man dies he simply returns to the dust from which elements he was created. There can be no punishment after death because there is no consciousness in the grave. Jesus was in “hell” for 3 days and 3 nights before his resurrection. # Summary This presentation explores the true meaning of hell from a Biblical perspective. It challenges the common belief of an immortal soul and a place of eternal torment, and instead presents the Biblical teaching that death is the punishment for sin, and that the dead remain in the grave until the return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of God's kingdom. ### Highlights 🌍 The word "hell" comes from an Anglo-Saxon word meaning "to cover or conceal", and is not associated with the traditional concept of a place of eternal punishment. 💀 In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word "Sheol" is translated as "hell", "grave", "pit", and "graves", and refers to a covered place where the dead go, not a place of torment. 🙏 The Bible teaches that when a person dies, they return to the dust from which they were created, and do not go to either heaven or hell, but await the resurrection at the return of Christ. 🔍 The New Testament references to "Hades" and "Gehenna" do not refer to a place of eternal torment, but rather to the grave and a physical place of destruction, respectively. 🌍 The Bible presents God as a loving and caring God who desires to redeem humanity, not condemn them to eternal punishment. 🕊️ The hope offered in the Bible is the promise of eternal life in God's kingdom, not the avoidance of hell. # Keywords - Biblical interpretation - Afterlife - Salvation [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css="" css_animation="none"]*************************************************************************************** This video was produced by the ChristadelphianVideo.org project, arranged and supported by Christadelphians worldwide.
