Now, I do not have a clue what this bible vs. means, 11 Tim. 1:13-15. I am just curious. "all ---Asia be turned away from me"
Thanks, Judy

Judy,
Ray used that Scripture(2 Tim. 1:13-15) to support the fact that a Massive Apostasy or falling away from the Truth of Sound Words was already taking place in the first Century A.D.
Kind Regards, Samson.

--- Quote from: Samson on July 10, 2010, 08:43:57 AM ---The correct or incorrect meaning of any word changes alot of things,
Firstly, the words of all languages gradually change in meanings over the years. The Greek Language of Today is not the same as it was in the First Three Centuries,

To the question ''why the Greek Orthodox believe as they do...?'' or at list why do they believe in hell IF THEY DON'T HAVE A WRONG TRANSLATION? (Or do they have one?). I have heard these questions from people whom want to defend their sick-precious hell doctrine.
Has the word Hades gradually change from it's meaning over the years?
Does modern Bible translations have dare to translate (from a king James on Latin or English) back to Greek again?
Does many orthodox Greek pastor's whom have study more the scriptures, consciously trick their followers to believe these doctrines, maybe using the words 'lake of fire' is how they teach about a place of torture?
I remember I once found more good info about these issue, here on the forum, but I haven't been able to find it. Someone here should refute and explain the issue for good.
Here is a quote of one of Rays emails:
If you were to ask an ancient Hebrew person what happens to the soul (the thinking, feeling, animated, sentient personality of a man) at death, he would shrug his shoulders or say "who knows" or just say "it disappears." That's what "Sheol" meant to the Hebrews. It was a question mark. And the Greeks had their word for the same idea (Hades-the UNSEEN, the IMPERCEPTIBLE), and hades and sheol are synonymous in Scripture (Ps 16:10 & Acts 2:27).
santikos:
oh oh, i always thought that the soul and body was one and the same. i always though we were just spirit and body. i must study more to learn the difference. i just thought the soul was our body. then when we die we (the soul) goes to the ground to rot, the spirit to God, then we will be given a new body (soul) and our spirit returns to our new body. i am new here there is just so much to learn. one question: if our spirit returns to God then is it safe to say that people go to heaven with God when they die? ( i do not believe this, but i am just confused about the spirit returning to God) :-\
