Paul:
--- Quote from: Phil3:10 on March 08, 2008, 11:56:36 AM ---I do like to compare verses and have marked through everlasting and hell in my KJV and replaced with aions and hades.
--- End quote ---
I like that the KJV uses hell, because then hell gets destroyed in the lake of fire (Rev. 20:14)! :)
Deborah-Leigh:
That brings a giggle! :)
My how times have changed. Tell a person to “go to hell” today, and it is an insult of the highest level. Tell a person back in the dark ages of England to “go to hell” and he would probably go to a cool cellar and bring back some potatoes for dinner. For that is where they stored potatoes—in hell.http://bible-truths.com/lake16-A.html
So the potato cellar is consigned to the LOF!! Good one! :D ;D
Peace to you
Arcturus :)
phazel:
Is there some online documentation about storage of potatoes in hell long ago. I am not doubting Ray, but I would like some additional documentation of this if I happen to bring it up to someone to make a point and they ask.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia;
The modern English word Hell is derived from Old English hel, helle (about 725 AD) and ultimately from Proto-Germanic halja, meaning "one who covers up or hides something."
From The Webster Encylopedia of the English Language 1969 Edition;
hell, hel, n. A.Sax. hel, from helan, to cover, conceal, literally a place of concealment = D and Icel. hel, G. holle, hell; same root as L. celo, to conceal . Akin helmet
According to Arcade Dictionary of Word Origins by John Ayto, the etymology of the word "hell" is as follows:
hell (OE) Etymologically, "hell" is a 'hidden place.' It goes back ultimately to Indo-European 'kel' (cover, hide), which has contributed an extraordinary number of words to English, including 'apocalypse,'' cell,' 'cellar,' 'conceal,' 'helmet,' 'hull,' 'pod,' 'occult,' and possibly 'colour' and 'holster.' Its Germanic descendant was 'khel-,' 'khal-,' whose derivatives included 'khallo' and 'khaljo.' The first became modern English 'hall,' the second modern English 'hell-'-so both hall and hell were originally 'concealed or covered places,' although very different ways: the 'hall' with a roof, 'hell' with at least six feet of earth. Related Germanic forms include German 'Holle' (O with an umlaut), Dutch 'hel,' and Swedish 'helvete' (in which 'vete' means punishment').
