contradicts the Bible, the truth of which has been confused by misrepresentingin translation the original meaning of three distinctGreek words and one Hebrew word . Sheol, Hebrew, and Hades,Greek, were originally used by Bible writers to represent gravedomor the common grave of mankind . Gehenna, Greek, was used as asymbol of annihilation or everlasting death in unconsciousness fromwhich there was to be no awakening . Tartaros, Greek, meant a degradedor debased condition only for rebellious spirit creatures duringtheir conscious lifetime with the certainty of annihilation awaitingthem at the time of their execution . These original words have beenindiscriminately translated "hell", "hell-fire," "grave," "pit" and"death" . The English word "hell" is taken from the Anglo-Saxon,helan, literally meaning "to conceal" . Hence the English word "hell",to conform with the original expression of the condition for the deadand according to its own original meaning, Scripturally applies togravedom, the common grave of all mankind, good and bad alike,in an unconscious state without suffering or pleasure . After Jesusintroduced the truth about life and immortality, only the willfullywicked were spoken of as being in Gehenna, the expression Hades[translated "hell" in English] being applied to the dead in God'smemory, those with opportunity or hope of a resurrection .ORIGINThe false conception of eternal torment after death was introducedearly into apostate Christianity, and by the fourth century afterChrist was firmly entrenched in false religion .
