1 | What happens to dead? | Bible general Archive 1 | Stokey | 86566 | ||
Comparing Psalm 16:10 and footnote with Acts 2:31, we see that "Sheol," or the grave is the equivalent of "Hades." See Luke 16:23, footnote, NIV. What is the condition of people in Sheol or Hades? Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10 answers: They "know nothing." Their love, hate and jealousy have "vanished." There is no "working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom." (Compare Job 3:11-19; 14:10-15; Psalm 104:29; John 11:11-14, 23-25.) Luke 16:13-31 is a parable as verse 26 shows. Compare verse 31 with John 11:47-53; 12:10, 11. Isaiah 14 is talking about the death of the Babylonian world empire; compare verses 18-20. Isaiah 66:24 is merely referring to "dead bodies" burning. Jesus contrasted "hell" with "life" in Mark 9:45-48. Incidently, in these verses, "hell" is the translation of the Greek "geenna," not "hades." "Gehenna" or the "lake of fire" refers to "the second death." (Revelation 20:10, 14) |

Dear BradK: Precisely. And Stokeyhk, unless I am much mistaken, was removed for cause from the forum by Lockman. Thus, if the user currently registered as "Stokey" is the same person as "Stokeyhk," he is trying to sneak back in under the barred door! --Hank | ||||||
