It was the word used by god to write that particular passage (the inspired words of the author)
Hades is the word, not hell
They are two different places
One again, open another thread please
I'm okay.
Had an apartment inspection with the landlord this morning. I just ate some chips and spinach artichoke dip and now I'm watching a documentary about Jim Morrison on Youtube.. lol
I get this put on me a lot too!
Its because we are WARRIORS (Granted from different backgrounds, different sides of the fence lol). We all know time is tax-money and once we believe we got the truth on something we wont fall back on it, not one step back and its set in stone, fresh from mount zion!
I can only speak for myself and im TRYING to work on it, TRYING to become more friendly! But when you are in the UNDERW0RLD dealing with the vilest of individuals, you dont exactly play around the campfire singing together we are strong! You got to be strict, firm, sometimes insulting and take it even further if NECESSARY to protect your reputation OR you will get STOMPED OUT, make no mistake about it.
AS i am trying to be friendly, IF i get annoyed, my brain automatically reverts to my normal state. I am too IMPATIENT or just too EASILY ticked off. I dont know HOW LONG I have to wait to get rid of this mentality.
If I insulted and bashed you as well KJV1611 IM SORRY!

with the exception of the spinich artichoke dip. Sounds like an awesome morning..lol!I'm okay.
NO WAY! I also had an inspectation today! WHAT A COINCIDENCE!I'm okay.
I'm commenting on something that someone else said, I didn't bring this back up.
Do I need to check with you first before I make a comment and get your permission or can I just respond to people as they post?
I wasnt joking I legit had a landlord inspect our apartment today as well. NO LIE!
You guys don't phase me at all, I could care less what you think about me, say about me or how you speak to me.
What bothers me is when you do it to others that might be too intimidated to respond or respond the way they would have had they not been ATTACKED and spoken to like they're lower than a dog.
And if you think by being rude, condescending and making fun of peoples beliefs is being a warrior for Christ, then you need to re-think it.
Look, you can tell who knows what they're talking about in this forum by their MOUTHS. Anybody that is so IMMATURE as a Christian that they can't bridle their own tongue and control their hate doesn't know anything about the bible. You will know a true Christian by their fruit and love for one another.
Apology accepted.
With the warrior comment I meant that once you're used to fighting your entire life you tend to carry that with you. IM WORKING ON IT! Thanks for apology acceppted!You guys don't phase me at all, I could care less what you think about me, say about me or how you speak to me.

My devotion this morning was all about the words we use; whether or not they build up or tear down, encourage or discourage. How often do we think about this?
Every time I'm off this site for a few days/weeks, I come back on and see new people arguing minute points and straying off the OP of this thread. Why is that?
As followers of Jesus Christ, can we not define our arguments in the peace and love as He did without denigrating one another? Before anyone responds, I confess I am as guilty sometimes as another with harsh words, condemnation. I'm working on this. My words either glorify Christ or hurt His cause. It's all up to me. How miserably I fail.
I think this tangent got started right here. At least that's when I joined in on the discussion about hell.

And DCon said this:
I prefer the english translation of the KJV over others too, but it is not the only true translation of the written inspired word of God.
If you believe so, can you show me what's wrong with every single other translation in every language?
(if you can't do that but believe only KJV is acceptable then maybe you should rethink your unproven beliefs)Revelation 20:14 King James Version (KJV)
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

I would like to ask you for every meaning of the word hell from back when it was translated into english from the original language.
(for someone who clings to a specific modified version of Gods inspired written word... you seem to not care much about the words being used)

I will gladly discuss those things if you start another thread. I have been told not to derail this thread and I'm not about to start debating bible versions on this thread.I prefer the english translation of the KJV over others too, but it is not the only true translation of the written inspired word of God.

Sorry I was not completely caught up, maybe pm would be a better option some other time.
I just personally believe God did a great job preserving His word and though I love the KJV deeply, I still go to strongs for an attempt at a deeper understanding sometimes, and have been blessed with truth more than once from it.
I also believe our brothers and sisters who study using a different traslation as thier primary bible can reach all the same answers through the Holy spirit, prayer, fellowship, and honest reflection.
Strong was just a man who wrote a dictionary and concordance, he's not inspired, he's just interpreting and giving his opinion just like everyone else. PM me if you want to discuss it.

Just like those who interpreted the KJV english bible, just ordinary men who interpreted greek, hebrew chaldean and latin words into the english language and called their book the king james cersion. Not inspired
