THE TRUTH ABOUT HELL & DEATH

We see from the beginning — Rom. 5:12-19 KJV: “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”

WHAT THEN IS DEATH? & WHAT DIES?

We answer, the being dies — ceases to have being or existence. Death is the dissolution, or separation of the things which combined, constitute being, — Soul — namely, life and body. Very few people seem to realize what is meant by the term “soul.” The Scriptural teaching is that man is a soul, not that he has a soul. In Gen. 2:7 KJV we read, “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a LIVING SOUL.” The Word of God speaks of both man and beast as souls. (See Num. 31:28.) Body, soul and spirit are in combination in a living organism. Thus when the spirit of life returns to God who gave it (all nature is His reservoir of life) then, the being/soul is dead and soon the body will return to the dust from whence it was taken. We see clearly then, that not the body but the being — called in Scripture, soul, dies. Let us notice some instances in which this is stated in so many words:  “Cause the soul of owners thereof to expire” (dissolve, die). — Job 31:39 KJV   “Their soul dieth in youth….” — Job 36:14, margin. “To deliver their soul [being] from death and to keep them alive in famine.” — Psalm 33:19 KJV. “He spared not their soul [being] from death [dissolution]” — Psalm 78:50. “He keeps back his soul [being] from the pit” (death). — Job 33:18. “He shall deliver his soul [being] from the hand of the grave.” Psalm 89:48 KJV. “All souls [beings] are mine...the soul [being] that sinneth it shall die” — Ezek. 18:4 KJV. It was the soul (being) of Jesus which was given for our ransom. “Thou shalt make his soul [being] an offering for sin.... He shall see of the travail of his soul and shall be satisfied…. He has poured out his soul [being] unto death.” — Isaiah 53:10-12. But, (Acts 2:31 KJV) “His soul [being] was not left in hell,” (hades — the condition of death). He was raised to a being again, but a being of a higher order—having a grander than human form — body. “Put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit” — 1 Pet. 3:18.

We next inquire: What happens in death? — Where are the dead?

The infallible Word of God, the Bible, gives its account of the conditions of death both to man and all beasts as there is no difference. Eccl. 3:18-21 KJV — “I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts. For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again. Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?” — Ah, that man and the cows, the chickens, and the pigs he eats all go to one place!!! Also, a man is eaten up by lions or fish in the sea, as well as burned into ashes! No wonder, when a man dies he is like a slaughtered chicken!

“For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion forever in anything that is done under the sun.”

Yes, you, the living, hearken, — “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” Eccl. 9:5-6,10.

So we see in death, man (a dead soul) like a dead goat does not speak, understand, know anything or even remember anything; for his memory and love are perished. From whence comes the Gospel of the spirit of the dead person speaking? Or souls suffering in purgatory? Or that a soul has gone to heaven? When the Bible states that actually even the soul of Jesus went to hell at his death — Acts 2:31 KJV. From whence does one learn that mighty Angels are questioning the soul of the dead unbelievers in Islam/Allah? — This Gospel emanating from heathen shrines to magnificent cathedrals of nominal Christianity to mosques is from its own father, the Devil — the Father of Lies — (John 8:40-45), that Old Serpent! (Rev. 12:9) And the Murderer! (John 8:44; Jer. 23:16; 14:14)

For the scriptures clearly teach that the dead can not even remember their God nor praises him — “Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake. For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who shall give thee thanks?” Psalm 6:4-5 AND “The dead praise not the LORD, neither any that go down into silence.” Psalm 115:17. Until the resurrection, the dead remain in a state of silence, complete darkness — symbolically called “sleep” — and the resurrection is to be here on earth! Like that of Jesus — Isaiah 26:19. Hence where is the Gospel that so and so being holy has gone to heaven at death? That holy Mary or St. Luke pray for us? It is time to leave that teaching of the doctrines of the Devil by its agents (1 Tim. 4:1).

WHAT SAITH THE BIBLE ABOUT HELL?

Many men and religions take HELL to be a FIERY PLACE OF PUNISHEMENT, where Immortal, Undying Souls are tormented forever. It is believed that this is an arrangement of God and created by God. Seeing then the unreasonableness of man’s view, let us leave human creeds and dogmas and come to the oracle of God, that we may hear His own word on this subject. In the first place, let none forget that the Bible was not inspired in the English language; that the inspired Scriptures which “holy men wrote and spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit” were written — the Old Testament in the Hebrew and the New Testament in the Greek language. We know further, that the translators were not inspired of God so as to prevent mistakes creeping in; for all scholars recognize some mistakes in the English translations. Now, admitting that the translators were honest men who reverently desired to serve God and the church by giving English readers a faithful translation from the original. Yet all who have a knowledge of more than one language, or who have ever tried translating from one to another, well know they had a difficult task. The range of both languages often makes it possible to translate a word by any one of several words, all having slightly different shades of meaning; besides which the idiomatic differences, the peculiarities in the construction of sentences in both languages, must be taken into account. This makes it necessary for a translator to frequently use his judgment both in deciding which of several words he should use, and also as to their arrangement to faithfully reproduce the original thought. Additionally, if the translators have certain false ideas fixed in their minds, they are almost sure at times to color their renderings, without wrong intention.

TRANSLATION OF HELL IN THE BIBLE:

OLD TESTAMENT (Hebrew)	NEW TESTAMENT (Greek)
·        SHEOL (Appears 65 times)	·       HADES          (Appears 11 times) ·        TARTAROO (Appears 1 time) ·        GEHENNA    (Appears 12 times)
Translated as Grave 31 times, Hell 31 times & Pit 3 times: Psalm 9:17, 16:10, 18:5, 9:17, 86:13, 116:3, 139:8; Gen. 37:35; Isaiah 38:18, 5:14, 14:9 …..	Psalm 16:10 – Acts 2:27, 31; Rev. 1:18, 20:13-14; Math. 11:23; 2 Pet. 2:4; Mark 9:43-48; Math.10:28; Rev. 21:8, …..

HELL IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.

The word HELL occurs 31 times in the Old Testament, and in every instance it is SHEOL in the Hebrew. It does not mean a lake of fire and brimstone, nor anything at all resembling that thought: not in the slightest degree! Quite the reverse! Instead of a place of blazing fire, it is described in the context as a state of “darkness.” Instead of being a place where shrieks and groans are heard, it is described in the context as a place of “silence.” Instead of representing in any sense pain and suffering, or remorse, the context describes it as one of forgetfulness, where there is no “knowledge” or “work” or “remembrance.” Eccl. 9:4-6,10; Psalm 115:17, Psalm 6:4-5.

HELL IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.

In the New Testament, written in Greek, HADES corresponds exactly to the Hebrew word SHEOL. As proof, see the quotations by the Apostles from the Hebrew in which they render it hades. For instance Acts 2:27 — “Thou wilt not leave my soul in hades,” is a quotation of Psalm 16:10, “Thou wilt not leave my soul in sheol.” And 1 Cor. 15:54,55 — “Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O hades [grave], where is thy victory?” is an allusion to Isaiah 25:8 — “He will swallow up death in victory,” and Hosea 13:14 — “O death, I will be thy plagues: O sheol, I will be thy destruction.”

GEHENNA.

This word occurs 12 times. It is the Grecian mode of spelling the Hebrew words which are translated “the valley of Hinnom.” This valley lay just outside the city of Jerusalem and served the purposes of sewer and garbage burner for the city. The offal, garbage, etc., were emptied in the valley of Hinnom, and fires were kept continually burning there to consume utterly all things deposited therein, brimstone being added to assist combustion and insure complete destruction. But a living thing was never allowed to be cast into gehenna. The Jews were not permitted to torture any creature.

When we consider that in the people of Israel, God was giving us object lessons illustrating His dealings and plans, present and future, we should expect that this valley of Hinnom, or gehenna, would play its part, too in illustrating things future. We know that Israel’s priesthood and temple illustrated the Royal Priesthood — the Christian church as it will be, the true temple of God — and we know that their city was a figure of the New Jerusalem, the seat of Kingdom power, and center of authority — the city [Government] of the Great King, Immanuel. We remember, too, that Christ’s government is represented in the book of Revelation (Rev. 21:24-27), under the figure of a city — The New Jerusalem. There, after describing the class permitted to enter the privileges and blessings of that kingdom — the honorable and glorious, and all who have right to the trees of life, — we find it also declared that there shall not enter into it anything that defiles, or that works abominations, or lies; but only such as the Lamb shall write as worthy of life. This city representing the redeemed world in the end of the Millennium was typified or represented in the earthly city, and the defiling, and abominable, etc., the class unworthy of life, which does not enter in, is represented by the refuse and the filthy lifeless carcasses cast into gehenna outside Jerusalem for utter destruction. Accordingly, we find it stated that those not found worthy of life, are to be cast into the fire (Rev. 20:15), fire here, as everywhere, being used as a symbol of destruction.

Thus we see that while gehenna served a useful purpose for the city of Jerusalem as a place of garbage burning, it, like the city, illustrated the future dealings of God, when the refuse and impure elements will be forever destroyed and prevented from contaminating the holy and pure, after that age of judgment, or trial, has proved which are sheep and which are goats.

Gehenna, then, was a type or illustration of the SECOND DEATH — final and complete destruction. Strictly speaking, none could be in any danger of the second death while as yet under the first, or Adamic death, and while as yet no ransom from it had been given. Consequently, no one could have been liable to the second death before the coming of our Lord, who brought to light the plan of God (to be accomplished through Christ) for the resurrection of all from the first death, and a second trial of all men individually for the eternal continuance of that life, by obedience to the law of Christ, the penalty of failure to comply with those just and righteous conditions being the second death — condemnation a second time to death, for failure the second time, and this time individually. Nor is the world in general now liable to this penalty: none but consecrated believers could possibly incur it yet; because no others have escaped (even reckonedly) the condemnation that is on the world — the first death, for Adam’s sin. The consecrated have escaped it reckonedly, the sin of Adam being no longer imputed to them. (Rom. 8:1; 4:6-8.)

But now, what about the worms and unquenchable fire?

We answer, in the literal gehenna, which is the basis of our Lord’s illustration, the bodies of animals, etc., frequently fell upon ledges of rocks and not into the fire kept burning below. Thus exposed, these would breed worms and be destroyed, as completely and as surely as those which burned. No one was allowed to disturb this valley’s contents, hence the worm and the fire between them completed the work of destruction — the fire was not quenched and the worms died not. This would not imply a never-ending fire, nor immortal worms — the thought is that the worms do not die off and leave the carcasses there, but continue and complete the work of destruction. So with the fire also — if not quenched, it will burn on until all is consumed, just as we might say if a house were on fire which could not be controlled or quenched, but burned until the building was destroyed — it would be an “unquenchable fire.” Our Lord wished to impress the thought of the completeness and finality of the second death. All who go into the second death will be thoroughly and completely and forever destroyed; no ransom will ever be given again; there will be no occasion for any, for none worthy of life will be cast therein — but only those who love unrighteousness after coming to the knowledge of the truth.

TARTAROO RENDERED HELL.

The Greek word tartaroo occurs but once in the New Testament, and is translated hell. It is found in 2 Pet. 2:4, which reads thus: — “God spared not the angels who sinned, but cast [them] down to hell [tartaroo] and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgement.”

The word tartaroo, used by Peter, very closely resembles tartarus, a word used in Grecian mythology as the name for a dark abyss or prison. But the word tartaroo seems to refer more to an act, than to a place. The fall of the angels who sinned was from honor and dignity into condemnation and dishonor. Hence we prefer to translate the sentence thus: “God spared not the angels who sinned but degraded them and delivered them into chains of darkness.” — 2 Pet. 2:4.

This certainly agrees with the facts known to us through the Scriptures; for these fallen spirits frequented the earth in the days of our Lord and the apostles at least. Hence they were not down in some place, but down in the sense of being degraded from former honor and liberty, and restrained under darkness, as by a chain. Whenever these fallen spirits, in spiritualistic séances, manifest their powers through Mediums, pretending to be dead human beings whom they simulate, they must always do their work in the dark, because darkness is the chain by which they are bound UNTIL the great Millennial day of judgment. Whether this implies that in the immediate future they shall be able to materialize, etc., in daylight, is difficult to determine. If so, it would greatly increase Satan’s power to blind and deceive for a short season — until the Sun of Righteousness has fully risen.

Thus we close our investigation of the Bible’s use of the word hell. Thank God, we find no such place of everlasting torture as the creeds and hymn books, and many in church pulpits, men/women, erroneously teach. Yet we have found a hell, sheol, hades, to which all were condemned through Adam’s sin, and from which all are redeemed by our Lord’s death (1 Cor. 15:21-22); and that hell is the tomb — the death condition. And we find another hell [gehenna — the second death — utter destruction] brought to our attention as the final penalty upon all, who after being redeemed and brought to the full knowledge of the truth, and to full ability to obey it, shall yet choose death by choosing a course of opposition to God and righteousness. And our hearts say, Amen.

A VOICE FROM HEAVEN — Rev. 18:1-5

          Seeing the falsity and teaching of the doctrines of the devil (1 Tim.4:1) above (From whence comes the Gospel of the spirit of the dead person speaking? Or souls suffering in purgatory? Or that a soul has gone to heaven? When the Bible states that actually even the soul of Jesus went to hell at his death — Acts 2:31 KJV. From whence does one learn that mighty Angels are questioning the soul of the dead unbelievers in Islam/Allah? Hence where is the Gospel that so and so being holy has gone to heaven at death? That holy Mary or St. Luke prays for us? That Hell or Gehenna is a place of everlasting torture of sinners!) in many Churches/denominations or beliefs, the LORD advised His true, meek people in those Churches/beliefs to leave them, seeing the LORD’s people are totally poisoned or defiled with that false Gospel —  Rev.18:1-5,

“And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.”

 

LUGANDA TRANSLATION in brief.

OKUFA, AMAGOMBE NE GGEYEENA!

Tulaba okuva olubereberye mu Abaruumi 5:12-21: “Olw’ebyo, nga ku bw’omuntu omu ekibi bwe kyayingira mu nsi, okufa ne kuyingira olw’ekibi, bwe kityo okufa ne kubuna ku Bantu bonna, kubanga bonna baayonoona: ... Kuba ng’obutawulira bw’omuntu omu oli abangi (bonna) bwe baafuuka ababi, bwe kityo n’olwokuwulira kw’oyo omu abangi balifuuka abatuukirivu. … Ng’ekibi bwe kyafugira mu kufa (kuba bonna bafa), era n’ekisa bwe kityo kiryoke kifuge olw’obutuukirivu okuweesa obulamu obutaggwaawo, ku bwa Yesu Kristo Mukama waffe” Amina.

OKUFA KYEKI? ERA AMAGOMBE GAFAANANA GA TYA? ERA KI EKIFA?

          Tulaba Omukka omulamu (omuntu) ye afa oba ye asaanawo! Tulaba mu kutondebwa kw’omuntu mu Olubereberye 2:7 nti Katonda n’abumba ettaka nalifuwamu omukka gw’obulamu — omuntu nalyoka afuuka Omukka omulamu (Oluzungu — Soul). Kale omwoyo gw’omuntu gwe Omukka omulamu era ye muntu omulamu! (Isaaya 53:10-12; Ezekyeeri 18:4; Zabbuli 89:48; Yobu 31:39, 36:14). Era ebya wandiikibwa bikakasa nti omuntu n’ebisolo byonna mukka mulamu era byombi tewali njawulo kuba birina omyoyo gumu. Omubuulizi 3:18-21 “… Kubanga ekyo ekituuka ku baana b’abantu kye kituuka ku nsolo; ekigambo kimu kibatuukako; ng’eyo bw’efa, n’oyo bw’afa bwatyo; weewaawo, bonna balina omukka gumu; so abantu tebaliiko bwe basinga nsolo: kubanga byonna butalimu. Bonna bagenda mu kifo kimu; bonna baava mu nfuufu, era bonna badda mu nfuufu nate !! Ani amanyi omwoyo gw’abantu oba nga gulinya mu ggulu, n’omwoyo gw’ensolo oba gukka wansi mu ttaka?”

          Omuntu nga bw’awomerwa enkoko, ente n’enyama yonna, mwatu bw’afa bonna basisikana mu kifo kimu, badda mu nfuufu kuba omwo Katonda mwe yabaggya. Era omuntu bwe yayonoona, Katonda nagumusalila nti onodda mu ttaka kuba omwo mwewaggyibwa (Olubereberye 3:19). Kale ababulira enjiri ya Puligatoli, ono afudde agenze mu ggulu — Mbuuza, enkoko/ ente zetulya nazo zigenda mu puligatoli? oba mu ggulu? Wewuunye n’ebisolo nabyo birya abantu, gamba ebyenyanja n’empologoma. Kale mwegendereze enjiri ey’obulimba eya sitani wamu n’amadiini ge yatandikawo okulwanyisa Kristo n’AMAZIMA! Yokaana 8:31-45; (Yeremiah 14:13; 23:16)

Tulaba omuntu bw’afa n’enkoko emusinga kuba obudde bwe bukwaata emanya ekisulo kyayo wamu n’ebinyonyi byonna; so nga omuntu omufu tabaako kumanya kwonna!! Omubulizi 9:5-6, 10 akakasa: “Kubanga abalamu bamanyi nga balifa: naye abafu tebaliiko kye bamanyi, ….” Kale “Buli kintu omukono gwo kye gulaba okukola, okikolanga n’amaanyi go; kubanga tewali mulimu newakubadde okuteesa newakubadde amagezi mu magombe gy’ogenda”.Kale omuntu bwafa atakyalina magezi wadde kujjukira kintu kyonna, awoza atya nga ali magombe? Wewuunye enjiri y’omulimba era sitani, nti Ono agenze mu puligatoli! Ono agenze mu ggulu! Ono malayika zimubuza ebibuzo bino kuba takkiriza Buyisilamu oba tamanyi Allah! Omuzimu gwa gundi gwogedde! Mumanye eyo y’enjiri yemu ewakanya Katonda eyagamba nti omuntu anadda mu ttaka (Olub. 3:19) era nti n’abafu balizuukira, nga bava mu ttaka (Danyeri 12:2) — enkola ekyuusakyuusa ebigambo bya Katonda, ye ya sitani, omulimba okuva olubereberye, era omusota ogwedda! — Yokaana 8:40-45.

          Kuba laba; n’omufu tajjukira Katonda wadde okumusinza — Zabbuli 6:4-5; 115:17. So nga abeera mu kusirika okw’enkomeredde, okutuuka lwalizuukizibwa!! Era nga bazuukirira wano ku nsi, nga Yesu Kristo bwe yazuukirira wano ku nsi, olwo oluvanyuma n’alyoka agenda mu ggulu (Isaaya 26:19).

DESIRING GOD’S GREAT BLESSING!

Desiring to obtain God’s blessing but indifferent in doing His will results in failure. Serving and improving the life conditions of your fellow men towards God, is one source of God’s blessing. Therefore, desiring to spread God’s Message of life but thinking you are too busy with work of whatever sort, poor to give financial support as you may not have enough for food, or you are not talented to speak, or feeling bodily imperfection that a person may ask you what you can not explain; yes in whatever form of constraint: We advise you to consider the many and varied opportunities the LORD of heaven has placed before you to serve your fellow men and women; Example, obtain copies of this monthly Newsletter — look at People interested in God’s word around you; at work place, home, neighbors, at your church, sending a copy to mother, father, friends & relatives in different places of the Country. Those who could promote this work in other right way, the opportunity stands. Yes, how refreshing and motivating you may contribute to changing Peoples lives, and yourself be God’s righteous Servant in the belief of Christ and the TRUTH.

 GROWING IN FAITH

Growth in faith is a desired state of Christian for desired fruitage of Christ likeness; But this must be in line with the will of God as expressed in 1 Thess. 5:21 KJV — “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” In line with this exhortation we advise all who are earnest students of Scriptures and our Newsletter, to prove all our studies with the only standard given by God (Isaiah 34:16) and please communicate to us!  It is also, our privilege to share the message of God’s love with others; hence we advise those who received the first publications to share them with God’s People.
