AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord does not delay [as though He were unable to act] and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is [extraordinarily] patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. |
Bible Question:
To all, My cousin told me that he and my husband watched something a while back on the history channle about hell and that it was made up to get people to go to church. Anybody? Thoughts? Thanks Julia |
Bible Answer: First, I’m making the assumption that you believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God. Without this belief, a person can say the Bible is made up so anything in the Bible could have just been put there for ulterior motives. Since your question isn’t about the inspiration of the Bible, but Hell, I will try to address that. The word ‘hell’ appears 14 times in the NIV Bible, 13 times in the NASB, and 14 times in the ESV Bible. The translated word ‘hell’ is based off of three different words in the New Testament. These are geenna/Gehenna, hades/Hades, and tartaroo/Tartaros. The English versions of the Bible have translated these terms as ‘hell’ in most places (some use the Greek word). You will find that Jesus discussed ‘hell’ (Gehenna) in Matthew, Mark, and Luke (Luke 16:23 the word is ‘Hades’). In addition, James and 2 Peter mentions ‘hell’. Reading the various verses/passages regarding ‘hell’ in the New Testament shows that ‘hell’ is a very real place and not just some story made up to draw people into church. Brad |
