Did Jesus use the words Gehenna and Hades?

Thanks Gina, but I think you missed a word....."remember", as in first hand knowledge, actually being there in time. We have no knowledge, or memory, or anything of any time before we are born into this world. The same applies to death, the state of being is the same. And as to sleep, did you know that medical science today , as advanced as it is cannot tell us why we sleep ? They can figure out how we sleep, and when, etc. But they cannot say why. But if they , as a scientific community, knew God they would understand. When we go to sleep at night, it is a picture of our death, and when we wake up in the morning, when we "rise" ( "rise and shine" ), it is a picture of our ressurection from death. The Father has a way of hiding things in plain sight.
Gina:
That is fascinating, David. :)

It is , isn't it Gina. And not because we can see it, but because it's true. The physical reveals the spiritual in many ways. Take water for example. God uses water to symbolize His Spirit. And God, through His Spirit can be the most destructive force on earth ( and no surprise He used water before ) , or the most healing, regenerative, life giving force on earth. And physical water on this planet is the most powerful physical force on earth, while at the same time is also the most life sustaining force on earth. I marvel all the time at the beauty and majesty of this physical creation we are a part of. It has His signature all over it. So thats why He can say we (man) are without excuse .
Cypress:
I love that. I think I'm going to cry :).

Hey Gina, just wanted to respond to your question about "if I have had the oppurtunity to study any of Ray's papers". Yes Gina, I have read most if not all of his teaching. But you most know that the truths Rays taught, I did not learn from him. I already knew these things before I read his work. Truth is revealed, not learned. Oh yes, I know that we can "learn" from someone, but whoever that person is, it is not that person teaching us.
"Whom shall He teach knowledge ? And whom shall He make to understand doctrine ? Them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breast. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little and there a little "
I have never been a part of any of this world's church ( false ) system. The Father called me from my mothers womb. I was born to know the truth. ( as all of the elect of God are ). He has already determined our path, who, when , where, etc. So it matters not how we got to where we are. All that matters is that we are here.
