OUR OWN LANGUAGE? IF HE DID, HE IS SAYING NOTHING TO US. The right translation of sheol and hades is grave and we can understand it. In the Old or New Testament, no one used or understood these names as we use them. We do not, and the world does not use or understand them in this way. The Hebrew "sheol" or the Greek "hades" have no meaning in English, therefore, English-speaking people would not understand them. Proper names like Jerusalem, New York, and Gehenna are the same in most languages and should not be translated but common nouns must be translated to be understood, not left untranslated or transliterated. Both sheol and hades are common nouns and need to be translated just as all other common nouns were.
1. Baptizo transliterated into baptism because the translators believed in sprinkling and would not translate it.
2. Hades mistranslated into "Hell" because the translators believed the wages of sin is an eternal life of torment and sinners instantly went to "Hell" at death, not to the grave.
3. Hades left untranslated into many English translations because the translators did not want it understood and would not translate it.
[3] GEHENNA
See Chapter four for notes on the four occasions that Christ used Gehenna.
[4] TARTARUS
2 Peter 2:4 is the only time this word is used. Tartarus in the Greek, and was changed to Hell in the King James Version. "For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to Tartarus ["Hell" in the King James Version], and committed them to pits of darkness, TO BE RESERVED UNTO JUDGMENT" [2 Peter 2:4]. "And angels that kept not their own principality, but left their proper habitation, he has kept in everlasting bonds under darkness UNTO THE JUDGMENT OF THE GREAT DAY" [Jude 6]. This is the place where the angels that sinned ARE NOW BEING KEPT UNTO THE JUDGMENT DAY. Neither Peter nor Jude says anything about fire, torment, or pain, but those who believe in Hell most always add them after the place where these angels NOW ARE has been changed from Tartarus to Hell. As far as we know, no man will ever be in Tartarus and it will last only "unto the judgment." If, as many teach, the angels are now being tormented in Hell, why bring them out of torment for judgment only to put them back into torment? Note: This is a difficult passage to understand, and just as difficult to use, as many do, as the base of any theology in the light of the other passages on the angels that sinned. It is not my purpose to go into Demonology, but I think it is safe to say the angels that sinned are the demons of the New Testament. Just what the "everlasting bonds" ["chains" King James Version] are is difficult to say, but they are not chains of iron as we think of chains being. "Your adversary the devil as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom he may devour" [1 Peter 5:8]. "His (Satan) ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness" [2 Corinthians 11:14]. Since both Satan and his angels are still deceiving people it is obviously that that are only in bonds in what they can do, that there is a limit to what they can do? These angels were "delivered into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment." God also bounds Satan. In tempting Job, he was allowed to go so far and no farther. He has the power to tempt us, but not the power to make us do anything we do not want to. "Be sober, be watchful: you adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom he may devour" [1 Peter 5:8]. "And no marvel for even Satan fashions himself into an angel of light" [2 Corinthians 11:14]. Space will not allow a long discourse on demons, but most likely they are the angels that sinned and they are bound in what they can do just as Satan is, but it is nowhere said that Satan, demons or fallen angels are now in a place called Hell. If the King James Version were right and they were in Hell, it would be great for us for then they could not tempt us, but they still do.
Forever in Jude: In speaking of the angels that sinned (verse 6), Jude used "aidion," which is used only one other time in the New Testament in Romans 1:20 where it is applied to God. If, as some assume aidion always means eternal as eternal is used today (never an end), why is it never used with reference to the "eternal soul"? "He has kept in EVERLASTING (aidion) bonds under darkness UNTO the judgment of the great day." This "EVERLASTING" (aidion) will last only "UNTO the judgment of the great day," therefore, it is clearly not endless for it will end at the judgment.
• In the very next verse Jude changes from aidion when speaking of angels to aionios (age) in verse 7 when speaking of Sodom suffering the punishment of eternal (aionios - age) fire. In verse 7 he used "aionios" the adjective form of the noun "aion." In verses 12 and 25 he used the noun "aion" (age).
• Why, if the writers of the New Testament had a word that always had the same meaning as eternal does today, why did they never use it with reference to man?
• If, as some say without any authority, aidion means endless and aionios means age, then endless would be applied only to one time to God [Romans 1:20] and one time to angels [Jude 6], never to man. If aidion did mean endless, then throughout the New Testament "endless" is strictly avoided as descriptive of mankind or any invisible immaterial part of a person.
JUST AS THEY DID WITH GEHENNA, THE KING JAMES TRANSLATORS CHANGED ONE PROPER NOUN, THE NAME OF ONE PARTICULAR PLACE THAT NOW EXISTS, INTO ANOTHER PROPER NOUN, THE NAME OF ANOTHER PARTICULAR PLACE THAT MANY BELIEVE WILL NOT EXIST UNTO AFTER THE JUDGMENT.
1. GEHENNA, a proper noun is the name of a particular place, HAS BEEN CHANGED INTO HELL, another proper noun, the name of another particular place where some think angels plus evil men will go to after the judgment.
2. THE NAME OF A PLACE THAT NOW IS TARTARUS, a proper noun is the name of a particular place, THE PLACE WHERE THE ANGELS THAT SINNED ARE NOW AT, HAS BEEN CHANGED INTO HELL, another proper noun, the name of another particular place, but not a place or name that is in the Bible.
3. THEY HAVE TWO "HELLS." ONE HELL THAT NOW IS WHERE THESE ANGELS ARE NOW AT, AND ONE HELL THAT SOME BELIEVE WILL NOT BE UNTO AFTER THE JUDGMENT. According to the King James Version, these angels are in one Hell now before they are judged; but they will come out of it at the Judgment Day, be judged and go into another Hell. They did what they had to do to have the name Hell into the Bible. That a group of men who were as learned in languages as they were would do this shows how far they were willing to go to keep their Hell. When we know that they were wrong, as many do, but use and teach their mistranslation to others, do we not sin? Do elders sin when they let such teaching go on and do nothing?
4. FIVE WORDS FROM ONE WORD, "CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL" IS TRANSLATED FROM ONE GREEK WORD, "TARTARUS." It looks as if the translators did not know what to do with this word, but they knew where they wanted the angels to be and put them there; but they used five English words to translate one Greek word to move these angels from Tartarus to "Hell" where they wanted them to be.
ARE THESE ANGELS NOW IN TARTARUS OR HELL? WHY ARE THESE ANGLES USED TO PROVE HELL? Jude 6; 2 Peter 2:4 "UNTO the judgment," not "after the judgment," for these angels are being kept in Tartarus NOW and will be kept there UNTO the judgment day. The place where these fallen angels are now at is changed into the place where some think these angels will be after the judgment. Many do not believe anyone will be in Hell unto after the judgment, but the King James Version is mistranslated to say these angels are NOW in Hell before and without the judgment.
The orthodox Protestant view is inconsistent in that they put lost in Hell now without the judgment, but the angles that sinned are being kept in Tartarus unto the judgment, they are not now in Hell. They have the lost in Hell before the angles that sinned will be there even though they say Hell was first made for the angles [Matthew 25:41].
Those who believe in Abraham's bosom think that the lost will not be in Hell unto after the Judgment, and these angels are not now in Hell. They use this passage teaches these angles are now in Hell despite the fact that Jude 6 says nothing about Hell.
• This passage says where these angels are NOW but it says nothing about were they will be after the Judgment Day, or about where lost men will be, and IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT A PLACE CALLED HELL.
• CHANGED, THEN MOVED: "Tartarus" is changed to "hell," and then is moved from where these angels are now unto where many think they will be after the judgment.
Many say it is a sin to change God's word, but despite this some have made many changes in it.
1. Changed a common noun [sheol-grave] into a proper noun [SHEOL changed into HELL].
2. Changed another common noun [hades-grave] into a proper noun [HADES changed into HELL].
3. Changed a proper noun [Gehenna] into another proper noun [GEHENNA changed into HELL].
4. Changed another proper noun [Tartarus] into another proper noun [TARTARUS changed into HELL].
5. Changed GEHENNA that existed then into the HELL that they think will not exist unto after the Judgment day.
6. Changed "TARTARUS" a prison that existed then into the HELL that they think will not exist unto after the Judgment day, then changed who is in it, the angels that sinned are changed unto both the angels and men that sinned.
THE THREE PROPER NOUNS THAT ARE CHANGED INTO ANOTHER PROPER NOUN IN THE KING JAMES VERSION
1. GEHENNA changed into HELL
2. TARTARUS changed into HELL
3. PASHA [Passover] changed into EASTER [Acts 12:4]
THE TWO COMMON NOUNS THAT ARE CHANGED INTO THE SAME PROPER NOUN IN THE KING JAMES VERSION
• A common noun [sheol-grave] changed into a proper noun. [SHEOL changed into HELL]
• A common noun [hades-grave] changed into a proper noun. [HADES changed into HELL]
• A common noun [hades-grave] changed into a proper noun. [HADES changed into NETHER WORLD]. "Hades" is changed into "Nether World" in some of the newer translations of the Catholic Church. In the same passage (Acts 2:27) they used to change hades into Hell in older translations.
Summary: SHEOL, HADES, OR TARTARUS ARE OFTEN USED TO PROVE AN ETERNAL LIFE OF TORMENT IN HELL, BUT THEY HAVE NEVER HAD THE MEANING THAT HELL HAS TODAY AND SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN TRANSLATED HELL. THOSE WHO USE THIS MISTRANLATION OF SHEOL INTO HELL ARE CHANGING THE BIBLE.
