This has been the purpose of the Evangelical Alliance Commission for Unity and Truth among Evangelicals ACUTE , which published the book The Nature of Hell where the different aspects of the current debate are discussed, 29 and of William V. Crockett editor in Four Views on Hell The relevant source material from antiquity, whether biblical or extra- canonical contemporary Jewish and early Christian , is abundant and wide ranging. Furthermore, the question of the final destiny of unrepentant sinners touches on other important philosophical and theological issues, especially the questions of human nature and the character of God. It is a natural consequence that any attempt to write a comprehensive analysis of hell from such different angles will either end up with massive amounts of information, or, more commonly, a lack of in-depth treatment of the relevant issues and sources.

Froom attempted to cover the most relevant material from the Old and New Testaments, while also discussing developments in Jewish thought during the Hellenistic and Roman periods as reflected in the Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha, other Jewish literature, and the writings of the early church Fathers. The amount of information contained in his study is impressive, and Froom has managed to deal in some depth with some of the more controversial texts, like, for example, the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus to which he allocates a total of thirty-six pages handling adequately the issues of background and literary relationships.

However, on the topic of "Gehenna," the term most frequently used in the Synoptics in relation to punishment, he offers only three pages In such a limited analysis it is not possible to address fully issues like the origin of the term, the purpose behind its use, or the impact it was intended to have. These observations do not detract from or undermine Froom's work, but rather point out that such a broad work cannot by implication, deal with all the issues effectively and in depth. Another problem with most contributions to the discussion is their apologetic nature. Apologetics can at times lead to a one-sided approach and unsupported conclusions, or even to a blatant manipulation of the evidence. An example of the dangers of such an approach is Marey's discussion of the verb cnr6AAv1Jt, a verb used repeatedly in the gospels in relation to eschatological punishment.

In reply, Morey asserts that aTI6AAv cannot imply annihilation even though in the vast majority of instances in the New Testament it denotes the removal of life. In support of his assertion he refers woodenly to lexicons, which list different shades of meaning for the verb, and leaves it at that. However, the issue at hand is not what different shades of meaning aTI6AAv can have but rather what meaning it has in the instances it is used in relation to eschatological punishment. Mere appeal to lexicons is not a suitable substitute for ~· 31 Morey, In such a simplistic way Morey attempts to brush aside possible repercussions ofthe repeated use ofthe verb.

Finally, apologetic works often take an either-or approach, namely, either the Traditionalist view of eternal torment, the Conditionalist view of the destruction of sin and sinners, or the Universalist view of salvation. It is true that despite differences of emphasis in the Synoptic gospels there is an overriding coherence in the way they handle the issue of the punishment of the wicked. Nonetheless, the evidence is at times open to different interpretations. More importantly, it is now recognised that within the broader context of the Jewish milieu within which the New Testament documents were written there was a proliferation of divergent views on both the nature of afterlife in general and the fate of the wicked in particular; this evidence is conceptually much broader than an either-or approach would indicate.

This complexity cannot be ignored and needs to be taken into consideration when a discussion of New Testament texts is attempted. One cannot merely use modem and contemporary doctrinal questions as spectacles through which to examine ancient texts, for the writers of which systematic doctrinal instruction was not necessarily a pnmary concern. Since the majority of works on the topic of the final fate of the wicked are broad in context, apologetic in nature, and overly categorical in their conclusions, much work remains to be done.

The topic needs to become more detached from the apologetic approach and to be studied from a historical perspective. Nonetheless, a historical approach tends to pay closer attention to the historical context and as such can better inform on the meaning of ancient texts. Approaching the issue from a historical perspective means that each relevant text or group of texts should be studied in its context and against the background in which it appears. Questions like "what did this text mean to its original audience? Good examples are Powy's analysis ofthe parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus Hell, or Bauckham's excellent article "Parallels," on the same topic. See also Milikowsky's article "Gehenna", , on the relationship between the Q Mt. Despite such and other similar articles or essays, there has been no monograph that tackles the different Synoptic texts relevant to hell.

By exploring these questions we hope to gain a glimpse into the ancient writers' approaches to this topic. It is therefore necessary to concentrate on smaller literary units - more like trying to understand the approach of Matthew, or Luke, or Daniel, or Paul, or Revelation- than to attempt to deal with the entire Bible and beyond. These considerations have led to the form adopted in this thesis. A historical study of the nature of hell in the gospels is not merely valuable as an attempt to inform contemporary debate; it can enrich the field of New Testament studies in its own right. There has been some recent discussion concerning the extent to which the historical Jesus took an interest in eschatology.

One the one hand scholars like Jean Dominique Crossan have maintained that Jesus was essentially a "wisdom" teacher who took little interest in eschatology. On the other hand, other recent writers do find a strong eschatological interest in the teaching of the historical Jesus. The evidence for this is abundant: Revelation; Mark ; Luke ; Matthew ; 1 Thessalonians and 2 Thessalonians to name a few. In early Christian eschatology the fate of the wicked occupied an important role especially in Matthew and Revelation. The abundance of such texts and their sometimes ambiguous language and imagery have helped fuel the ongoing debate about the nature of hell discussed above.

Clearly therefore any attempt to study either the eschatology of the early church or, more specifically, the fate of the wicked as variously expressed throughout the New Testament is both a legitimate and a necessary exercise: legitimate, because it may offer an insight into the thinking of the early church, and necessary because eschatology in its different facets played such a prominent role in its theology. Surprisingly, there is a large gap in the scholarly biblical contribution to this area. Naturally, many introductions to New Testament theology discuss to some 33 Crossan, The Historical Jesus: The Life of a Mediterranean Jewish Peasant Allison, Jesus of Nazareth: Millenarian Prophet Yet, any such discussions are limited in at least two respects. First, they are brief by nature- these works are after all only introductory. A good example is G. Ladd's treatment of the subject. Ladd offers a total of seventy-two pages on all issues of eschatology. Likewise, his conclusion that Gehenna is a "place of eternal torment" is not based on any apparent exegetical support from the relevant texts, but appears rather to reflect a personal conviction.

An example is G. Caird's discussion of death and etemity. He supports this by appealing to the parable ofthe Rich Man and Lazarus in Luke 31 as well as to the souls John sees under the altar in Revelation Using, of course, Luke to establish a New Testament understanding of death, is problematic since the description of afterlife there and its view of Hades are without parallel in the rest of the New Testament. Beyond this, however, Luke envisages both the rich man and Lazarus as having a corporeal existence, partaking or wishing to partake of physical water, and conversing as they probably could have done when they were alive.

In Revelation John sees "souls" whatever 1. They are told to be patient. While Luke 35 E. Guthrie's Theology, Caird's Theology, Others overlook the topic with only a passing mention: see e. Morris, Theology, , , ; Schmithals, 30,, ; Kilmmel, Theology, ,, Strecker sees only the positive side e. See also Johnson, Writings, , , , , , for a fragmented treatment of the issue of hell in the Synoptics without reference to the varied terminology and motifs used. To reach a conclusion about an immediate afterlife on the basis of subject matter that differs so extensively in content, literary context and genre cannot but result in an artificial conclusion. In this respect a number of good studies have appeared. Furthermore, space limits do not allow proper development of concepts. Hoekema , for example, assumes that aiwvtos almost always denotes time without end and bases his conclusion primarily on lexical evidence with little reference to variations in nuance the word may have in different contexts.

e8pos aiwvtos of 2 Thessalonians Having assumed that aiwvtos can only denote time without end, he then concludes that 6f.. e8pos cannot mean "destruction" since there cannot be such a thing as destruction that continues forever. He thus begins with an assumption that cannot really be substantiated and uses it as a measure to interpret other relevant texts. Then there are the commentaries, which contain a number of insightful analyses and comments on the pertinent texts. I will not single out any here, as many of these are discussed in the main body of this study. The problem with commentaries, hoever, is the reverse of that of introductions or dictionary entries: they focus on individual texts often without bringing together all the relevant material that might contribute to an overall picture.

Even in cases where such a synthesis is attempted, there is usually inadequate analysis of other relevant texts. For example, Davies and Allison , who offer three paragraphs on the discussion of Gehenna 40 See discussion in Chapter X on the genre of Lk. Since the two cannot co-exist, he concludes that they must be metaphorical descriptions, and thus, in fact, divests both motifs of their context and their intended impact. Related books.

Hoskier Pt 4 ; Most modern versions of the New Testament in other languages yes, but especially in English are based on the work and manuscripts collated assembled by Westcott and Hort.

Sorry if this gets too far in the weeds for those who are just beginners. Here may be an easier way: 1. We should not be surprised that many have happened to find self-satisfaction in the myriad of false versions of the Old and New Testaments. They make no claim to NOT lead you astray. The Bible is the number one bestselling book of all time. It was true 50 years ago, and it is just as true today. The only reason it is not on the New York list of booksales every week, is that if it were, it would always be at number one. Simply look up the number of the top selling books, and then look at Bible sales. In many cases, the publishers don't even change the name of the editions, prefering instead that most will be misled by the false label. They hope that the public will NOT realize that the content between the covers has been entirely changed, and is now very different from what a Christian would have read in their Bible years ago.

The Reina-Valera rejects the earlier accurate Greek manuscripts from which the Spanish translation of Reina and Valera was made, using instead the falsified Nestle-Aland, which is based on Westcott and Hort. This information — about which text in Hebrew or Greek was used to translate for the particular version, in this case the NKJV - is right in the preface or the introduction of the NKJV. Kittel himself rejected Christianity, the claims of Jesus Christ, and the inspiration of the Old Testament, even though he translated it. His academic career benefited, but the spiritual fallout of his text has been disastrous and confusing, usually most to those who study it, not realizing its false content.

The Translator — in this case, Rudolph Kittel, was accurate and disclosing of his apostasy ; at least in his books , of his rejection of the New and Old Testament. He wrote books where he stated his falsehoods. Unfortunately for him, it was simply that HE did not believe in what he mis-translated. But that did not change the fact or the truth of the information contained in the accurate versions of the Old and New Testaments A little more knowledge ;, a little more searching ;, a little more dedication to truth ;, and to God ; and to historic accuracy ; all those factors ; might have helped him understand the God he claimed would not be found in his own mistranslation. However, regarding Kittel's views about his own attacks on the biblical text, this information was available to those who searched independently for themselves, in the works of Kittel.

It was just that this information about him was They are technically Bible societies Kittel was a false teacher, who rejected the Bible, and who also despised those who were Hebrews. His son Gerhard Kittel continued in the footsteps of his father, serving as theologian directly under the Fuhrer and as an advisor. After WWII, he was tried for war crimes. Infiltration into Christian circles of leadership is nothing new. But the Kittels certainly raised this to a new level. They rejected the claims of the Old and New Testament, and their own behavior towards those who were Hebrew was abominable, and a STRONG and serious violation of multitudes of commandments and instructions about how to treat those who are Hebrew.

Yet anytime you are reading from an Old Testament in any Modern Version in English with the exception of the translation work of Jay Green , you are reading an English Old Testament, translated specifically from the work of Kittel. Look at the beginning of your modern version. In all cases, it will be the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. And That Old Testament translated by occultist unbelievers Kittel Sr and Jr has a spiritual impact on those who are reading it. Why anyone would believe that this would not cause great spiritual inteference in their own life, testifies to the great lack of knowledge about how God operates. Yet Kittels work are based on falsehoods, fictions, not to mention the errant false Old Testament manuscripts of ben Asher, dated to around years after Christ.

Thankfully, the Old Testaments of the Geneva Bible, or the Bibles of Calvin, Luther or Beza do not suffer from having been mistranslated by those working for the Third reich. This does not mean that the Old or New Testament should not be used. But it does mean that those who are seeking a genuine relationship to God, without interference from the translations and innacurate work, need to seek, find and use translations that are accurate, and accomplished by translators who actually have a connection to the God whose work they are translating. It would seem that it is time to get rid of false translations, and instead use translations that are accurate and reliable. Conveniently, that same attitude of disregard is found among many professors who teach on religion.

Particularly those who teach concerning Christianity, seem somehow only to be hired, as long as they despise the text, or despise those who follow try to follow the words of Jesus, or those who take those words literally. So their problem, honestly, is that they do not like followers of Jesus ; , especially those who put into effect, the effects of the Words of Jesus to love others. The Kittels seemed to have those same attitudes also. It would be a mistake to expect those anti-Jesus professors of religion to actually represent the very worldview and philosophy of Christianity, that they are so revolted and revulsed by.

Consequently, almost no one will be led to truth, nor historical nor biblical accuracy, by trying to learn truth from those official Christ-bashing academics ; who enjoy their leisure, their tenure, and their paycheck, on the backs of students who are amassing a life of future debt with little hope of repayment known as economic slavery. Those conclusions are not popular except with the students , but they are accurate. Those who are seeking truth and accurate manuscripts of the Old and New Testament, must find the accurate copies, which is those printed BEFORE they have been tampered with.

They are not hard to understand, ONCE the information is known: 1. The changes ; to the Biblical texts introduced by the Roman church ; These are the changes that were instituted at the Council of Trent. These additional books were called Apocrypha. The very word apocrypha means counterfeit [look it up], and those apocryphal books had been rejected within the Roman Church ; as being divine. Jerome the original translator of the Vulgate, made changes to his own Latin text from the earlier Vetus Itala, the original Latin translation that Jerome was attempting to replace. But Jerome in the preface to each book of the apocrypha which he translated into Latin, stated that the apocryphal books were NOT inspired.

By the time of the Vatican Council of Trent in the s , which is the same council that declared the apocryphal books to be Holy and Devine, the preface of Jerome, where he had stated those books to NOT be devine, was dropped from subsequent Vatican printings. The books of the Apocrypha were included in Vatican bibles starting in the s, and the Inquisition Inquisition ; continued its earlier methods ; of coercion to force people ; to falsely declare ; their belief in those false books, under penalty of death for disagreement. Of course, being forced to admit a falsehood does not make it true. God recognizes the condition of the heart and the sincere will, and not the exterior conformity brought about by coercion, duress, or other illegitimate means. God does not want people to come to Him except of their own choice to do so voluntarily. As long as humans are living, the choice of how they respond to God is up to each individual.

Though the Vatican has sometimes expressed regret about the Inquisition, it has never admitted ; it was theologically wrong. It has also not repaid the fortunes, property and wealth amassed as a result of the infamy, either. And let us remember the difference between the evil deeds ; of the Inquisition, and individual catholics roman Catholics today, many of whom know almost nothing of the long history of abuse of human rights ; globally, often run out of the Vatican by wicked priests, and evil bureaucrats. The idea that the evil and abuses of children, around the world, is the result of wrong theology and also simply a continuation of the earlier abuses of families by the Roman Catholic authorities through the inquisition, has still not permeated many of the roman catholic laymen, who are still ignorant or in denial, unaware of the need to make a difference betweeen God and the Bible on one hand, and the bureaucrats and the hierarchy that runs the Vatican globally, and often shields those who harm others ;.

There seems to be as much denial in some catholic parishes about abuse, as there is denial in mainstream republican circles about the abuses fostered and protected by the Bush dynasty ;, and their continuous presidential ambitions.
