1 | Did Moses or Noah go to Hell? | OT general | lana | 232428 | ||
First of all the word "hell" is found in many Bible translations. In the same verses other translations read "the grave" "the world of the dead," and so forth. So the Bible does say that even upright people go to hell also. For instance, at Job 14:13,Job prayed: who will grant me this, that thou mayst protect me in hell,and hide me till thy wrath pass,and appoint me a time when thou wilt remember me? God himself said that Job was "a man blameless and upright, fearing God and turning aside from bad,"-Job 1:8. | ||||||

Hi lana, I'm not sure what your reply has to do with the original question? I also question your statement that, "So the Bible does say that even upright people go to hell also"? Do you have any scriptural basis for this? The meaning of a word means is generally determined by it's use in context! Are you saying Job literally went to hell? I certainly don't think so. Your premise is going to be driven by what word for "hell" is being used (OT or NT) and how it's being used. Would you clarify what you mean? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3 | Did Moses or Noah go to Hell? | OT general | lana | 232434 | ||
Hi BradK, My reply to the original question was a simple explanation of the meaning of the word "hell, which is the common grave where most of mankind sleep in death. In its original languages, the Bible uses the Hebrew word she'ohl and its Greek equivalent hai'des more than seventy times, and both words are related to death. Some translations render them as "grave," "hell," or "pit." For God told the first man Adam after he sinned that he would return to the ground from which he was taken,"For dust you are and to dust you will return."-(Genesis 3:19)This is exactly what happened. As for Job, he lived on to be a hundred and forty years, and he gradually died. (Job 42:16, 17) If you'll look at Acts 2:25-27, where David spoke concerning Jesus Christ,Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell neither will thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. So the fact that God did not leave Jesus in hell shows that Jesus was in hell or hades for at least a time does it not? sincerely, Lana |

4 | Did Moses or Noah go to Hell? | OT general | BradK | 232435 | ||
Hi lana, Actually, you've confused me even more. I'm not clear about the point you're trying to make! Can you be more specific as to which "translations" you're referencing? The original question had to do with whether Noah or Moses went to hell. If we're referring to the place of eternal punishment (as described in Matt. 10:28, Mark 9:45, 2 Peter 2:4, and Rev 20, etc.), then absolutley not! There's nothing from scripture with which to support this contention! On the other hand if you're referring to sheol- the place or abode of the dead, then OK. I think you're choosing a poor translation of the word. However, we need to be clear that the intent of passages such as Job 14:13 is to show a hiding place as being the ground. Not literal hell the place of everlasting punishment! "Oh that You would hide me in Sheol, That You would conceal me until Your wrath returns to You, That You would set a limit for me and remember me!" (NASB) "Hell" would not be the best translation of these occurences IMO. 'Sheol' is the more apt term- which is most likely why the majority of translations opt for this! Not sure your point with Gen 3:19? When we die, we do all return to the ground, i.e. 'sheol', not hell! I would strenuously reject any notion that Jesus ever went to hell. Why on earth would Jesus be inhell? Where do we find this even remotely implied in scripture? There's simply no such support for this distorted doctrine! Jesus did not (nor did He need to) atone for our sins in hell. The penalty for sin was paid on the cross! Period! Col 2:13-14, "When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross." (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
