Did Jesus use the words Gehenna and Hades?

Hi whyisthatso,
--- Quote ---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.

This comment of yours gives me pause. "He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world" (Eph 1:4), certainly I see this is true. But I do not feel that our eyes are opened to the truth from birth, in Scripture the Holy spirit comes and your eyes are opened as mature adults. First we are all deceived (Titus3:3), we go to church hear about Christ (first love), are taught the man made doctrines and we do leave our first love (Rev2:4). So then after we have had our "experience in evil" (Ecc1:13) and have developed a dark backdrop, then we are called out this darkness (2Cor6:17; Rev18:4) and He shows us His marvelous truth.
1Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
So what I am saying is that I believe we do go into the false church, Babylon and then are called out. Yes if we are Elect we will with a certainty be prepared and made ready by the time of our death. But any Elect would be kept humble and not be presumptuous about being chosen and continue to strive to endure to the end.
2Ti 2:11 This is a faithful saying:
For if we died with Him,
We shall also live with Him.
v. 12 If we endure,
We shall also reign with Him.
If we deny Him,
He also will deny us.
v. 13 If we are faithless,
He remains faithful;
He cannot deny Himself.
mercy, peace and love

Oh, boy, David. I don't know about all that.

:-D
(Just kiddin' David! I have my doubts about you, but you're fascinating and very smart, if nothing else.)
Gina:
Thank you for your reply, David. I wanted to respond to your post (perhaps a little more appropriately? I'm easily amused I guess) now that I have a little more time.
I'll say it again - you are very smart. Yes, these things are revealed to us by the Spirit. I agree. Paul even said something of that very sort.
I suppose it's alright that you never were a part of the world's false church system, but when did you leave your "First love"? Hmmmmm? ;) ;D

Speaking of John the Baptist:
for he shall be great before the Lord, and wine and strong drink he may not drink, and of the Holy Spirit he shall be full, even from his mother's womb;... Luke 1:15 YLT
Wasn't John one of God's elect even from his mother's womb?
Gina:
'fraid not.
