Mr. James L Pearson,
Boomer, N. c.
Dear Sir;
Since reading Rev. G. W.MnF.i, '
article in the Feb. Good News I have
intended to write tomethine on m.
nal Torment and Infidelity. Believine
your readers wiU be interested in a few
Bible iacts, I submit the followmt,.
Skeptics cannot understand W o
God of love, mrcy, wi.dom 0
ice and all power could condnof
matters- as nroclaimftd
ChrifcUanity. They choke at the idea
of od making an eternal abyss of
torture foiHig own creatures, espec
ially when He was gifted with all
oreknowledge that most of the human
amily-would go there, and when He
had all love and wisdom to plan other-
wise and all power tddp as He pleased.
Truly to reason on this line u to
presents no such
idea of the, Creator, but praises acd
glorifies His holy character. The truth
stamps popular Christianity as blas
phemy and error.
A. few facts: Everybody goes to hell.
Che SaviQr went there. Righteous Job
actually prayed to go to. hell. Why?
Because hell is sthe grave, or death
condition, in which good and bad
alike remain tilt the resurrection day.
The Hebrew word 'sheoln is pos
itively the only hell word in the Old
Testament. Its Hebrew definition
is: ''The uuseen state; the place of
where is the word "fire" associated
with ft. r
Solomon says: "There is no work,
nor knowledge, nor device, nor wis
dom in Sheol (hell) whither thou
gbest." Why? Because all in hell are
dead. Referring to the resurrection,
JK.ev.Tr : Lis -i says : r u e aw v wording
in mankind) and hell (the grave) de
livered up the dead (not the living)
LwJiich were in them".
"Sheol" in the Old Testament is
translated only 25 times "hell," three
times '.'pit,' 1 and 33 times "grave".
In the Revised Version "sheol" is
translated "hell" only about 20 times,
out of 65, . and its Greek equivalent,
"Hades, " in the New Testament
(11, times) is not translated "hell" at
all, but is simply left untranslated, be
cause the translators knew that it did
not mean eternal torment-
Only 16 out of. 6 Bible books men
tion "hell" in the English. St. Paul
wrote 14 books of the New Testament,
but never mentioned "hell". John
ilever mentioned it in his gospel nor
in his three epistles, nor Peter in his
two epistles. It is not mentioned in
Ruth, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Jere
miah, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Obadiah, .
Mcah, Nahum; Zephania, Haggai,
Zechariah, nor Malachi.
It is passing strange that all theee
prophets did not harp on the dangers
of falling into that eternal agony
