1 | So then, what is Hades? | Bible general Archive 1 | Wolfman | 234 | ||
"In the Septuagint, Hades is virtually synonymous with the Hebrew Sheol, the place-name of the abode of the dead. Thus, the word has in itself no doctrine of reward or punishment: see Ac. 2.27; Rev. 20.13. It appears, however, in Matt. 16.18 as the locus of opposition to the church, and this leads on to Matt. 11.23 (Lk. 10.15) and Lk. 16.23 where Hades is the place of punishment of the wicked dead." (Taken from - - EVANGELICAL DICTIONARY OF THEOLOGY. Walter A. Elwell (ed.), Baker Books). It would seem that Hades and hell are synonymous. |

2 | Is Hades then Purgatory? | Bible general Archive 1 | Wolfman | 201 | ||
I am not sure if this will answer your question, but it may help. "Purgatory in Roman Catholic thought developed during the Middle Ages and hardened into dogma in reaction to the Protestant rejection of it. The Council of Trent (1545-63) declared that those who reject the doctrine of purgatory are 'anathema,' accursed....The doctrine can be seen as a distortion of biblical truth for several reasons: (1) Clear scriptural warrant is absent. The only possible supportive text is in the Apocrypha (II Macc. 12.43-45)." (Taken from the EVANGELICAL DICTIONARY OF THEOLOGY. Walter A. Elwell (ed.). Baker Books) |
