The third heaven is still heaven and is called paradise and is where Paul was caught up to. My point was/is, that we should not pigeonhole names, such as paradise, trumpets, clouds, etc. Because when people do this, they distort scripture. The following is a good example: in 1 cor.15:52 we...

So...… when someone reads hell representing Tartartus and hell representing Hades and hell representing the lake of fire, that is not confusing? Because I have studied it I know which place hell is being referred to. But if you just have the word hell being used for al three, I would think that...

Well, we have to take into consideration that, Aramaic, Latin and Greek were the predominant languages used at that time. Pilot's message on Jesus' cross was "Jesus of Nazareth, the king of the Jews" which was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. In Hebrew it was called Sheol. In Greek is Hades...

Hi Chris1975, Just fyi, Paul did say that he was caught up to the third heaven and paradise: "I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows. And I know that this man—whether in the body or...

Many misinterpret Abraham and Lazarus as being in heaven, which is not true. The scripture states that Abraham, Lazarus and the rich man were all in Sheol/Hades and that there were two areas separated by a great chasm, trench, ravine, etc. On one side was a place of comfort and on the other side...

Both heaven, the garden of Eden and the place of comfort in Sheol, are places of paradise. As I said, we should not pigeonhole words to refer to one specific place or thing, but should consider the context. Regarding Jesus saying "today you will be with me in paradise," I believe that He was...

Yes, I agree. And so do the other translations make it clear. My point was/is that each of the thee words in the KJV are translated as "hell" which is not a clear distinction. It is by the context and other scriptures that we can deduce the distinction of these different locations. If you will...

Yes, but it is good to understand the differences between the use of the words. For example, through context and other scriptures, we know that Sheol/Hades is a temporary place of punishment, where Gehenna/lake of fire is the final place of punishment. And Tartarus is used only once describing...

Hello watcher2013! Abraham's Bosom is not a proper name representing a location. The scripture states that Lazarus was taken to Father Abraham's side/bosum. The place where both Abraham and Lazarus were was in Sheol/Hades, which Jesus identified as being under the earth: "And you, Capernaum...

Good day watcher2013, Just fyi, the word paradise is not exclusive to meaning heaven. The pigeonholing of words is an on-going problem. When Jesus was on the cross, the man next to Him said, "Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom." And Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, today you will...

Below is the KJV translation for all three different words translated as Hell: Tartartus/Tartaroo "For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment;" Hades "And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and...

Hello Adstar! There are two words used in the OT, one is qeber (keh-ber) and the other is Sheol. Qeber is defined as follows: Strong's Concordance qeber: a grave, sepulcher Original Word: קֶבֶר Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: qeber Phonetic Spelling: (keh'-ber) Definition: a...

Hello again, John! Well actually, the word Hell is wronly translated for all three Tartaroo, Sheol/Hades and Gehenna. Gehenna translated as hell, is used to describe the lake of fire. Here is an example: HELPS Word-studies 1067 géenna (a transliteration of the Hebrew term, Gêhinnōm, "the...

I believe that Nehemia6 gave you the answer to "the books" mentioned in Rev.20:12 which contains all of the sinful acts of all of the unrighteous dead throughout all of history. As previously stated, the church is not judged here. And that because the sins of the believer have already been...

There are three words translated as Hell in the NT: Tartartus/Tartartoo = Used once in 2 Peter 2:4 and also mentioned in Jude 1:6 referring to the place where the angels who sinned by taking wives were put into prison, into chains of darkness until the day of judgment Sheol/Hades = This is the...

Good day IFOLLOWHIM! Please tell me how you interpret the following scripture: "And all who dwell on the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world in the Book of Life belonging to the Lamb who was slain." "The beast that you saw—it...

Hello IFOLLOWHIM, The church will be judged at the Bema seat of Christ after the dead and living in Christ are caught up (2 Cor.5:10, I Thess.4:16). However, those in Christ will not be judged for sin, but will receive reward or suffer loss of reward. Our sins have already been paid for and...

In the case of Purgatory, they are then being taught a false teaching. Taking into consideration all related scripture regarding the subject of Hades/hell, once a person dies without the shed blood of Christ covering them, their record is sealed. At that point, God's grace and mercy, as well as...

Hello 3angelsmsg! I can see hell being taught if she is studying at a Christian school. However, I have never heard of non Christian schools teaching on hell. It would mean that they would have to recognize God as the One who created it, a place of punishment. Since this world is force- feeding...

Praise be to God that He revealed His Son to you and you responded. You have gone from death to life and now have forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life. Regarding this Jesus said, "Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven...
