Did Jesus use the words Gehenna and Hades?

Ahhhhh.... The deeper and more painful root of an infected molar.... the harder it is to extract! Praise the Lord the tooth has been extracted now!!
This Old Testament Saints, Elect and the 1st resurrection issue was the last (and by far the most difficult for me) hurdle that I had to yet jump over.
I read and re-read this thread and concepts started coming together and like JFK said - most of my comments were non-sensible (but at the time they seemed to be for me). Where I started to gain some understanding was through the pulling of the many scriptures together so that they are in one place (this thread) for comparison. That's undoubtedly the best way for me to comprehend. thanks guys... you went all out for me!
I hope that beside me, all who contributed did gain at least some new understanding to all of the scriptures, concepts and ideas posted. God's word doesn't return void!
Like Dave in Tn said, this thread is getting too long and cumbersome... so I will rest my fingers for awhile.
A heart felt thanks to all who have contributed to my "progressive revelation"... I have really learned from everybody's input.
Time for partyin' --- I'll get out the grill and throw on some shish kabobs....
If I were with you all now I would give you a great big hug!
with love to all, doug
p.s. We are so blessed... because of all christiandom "out there", do not know these truths!!

Okay whyisthatso, I can see that you have your own way of thinking about these things and that's fine. I see no point in continuing this discussion, that is why we have the rules, I will put here what I am speaking of in particular.
This is not the place to decide if you agree with the teaching of L.Ray Smith, but a place you can retreat to when you do.
This forum is primarily a place for people of a like mind to fellowship, and secondarily to discuss and question what they learn on bible-truths.com.
If you seriously disagree with Ray.
If you come here to teach us, please take your teaching elsewhere.
We do not want confusion here that is the reason for the rules. Maybe you should re-study the articles that are taught on the BT page to see if you do share our beliefs, as you seem to have a difference of opinion on these things we have been discussing. We are not trying to convince anyone to believe as we do, but why would someone want to fellowship with a group that they do not agree with?
Amo 3:3 Can two walk together unless they are agreed?
Eph 4:1-3 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the calling with which you are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
mercy, peace and love
Kat
whyisthatso:
Thank you Kat for your time, patience and love. I did not come here to disrupt this forum in any way. I was sent here for a purpose, to direct your thinking. You are on the right road, but have a ways to go. And thank you for underlining " people of like mind ", to enforce my words. My work is done here.
in peace, David
Dave in Tenn:
