Immortality or Resurrection by William West (philippa perry book txt) 📕

ETERNAL OR EVERLASTING, NOT ONCE IS THERE ANY TORMENT OF LIVING PERSONS IN IT, AND NOT ONCE IS IT USED IN CONNECTION WITH THE RESURRECTION, BUT TODAY PREACHERS MOST ALWAYS ADD EVERLASTING AND SAY IT WILL NEVER END. HOW DO THEY KNOW THIS? NONE OF THE APOSTLES EVER PREACH ANYTHING ABOUT GEHENNA. IF IT WERE A PLACE OF TORMENT WHERE GOD SHALL TORMENT ALL THE LOST, WHY DID THEY NEVER SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT? THEY USED DEATH, DESTROY, DESTROYED, PERISH, DIE, AND END; BUT NEVER "HELL."

AND ONE TIME BY JAMES
TO THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL
SET ON FIRE BY GEHENNA James 3:6 "And the tongue is a fire; the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell [Greek-Gehenna]." James used the same proper noun [the name of a particular place] that Christ used, but he used it as Christ did in Matthew 23:15 as a metaphor of uncleanness. The tongue is a fire and is set on fire by Gehenna-the filthy, contemptible garbage dump. Most who are given to gossip look for some filthy rotten garbage on someone, and then cannot wait to tell it. James did not use Gehenna to teach the Jews about what was going to happen them after death if they rejected Christ. To say, "The tongue is set on fire by the place of eternal torment after the judgment," which is what many teach, makes no sense. This metaphor is not taken from the destruction by the fire and maggots in Gehenna; but it is a metaphor taken from the filth and uncleanness of Gehenna. There is nothing about torment or destruction in it, and nothing about after death. The tongue is a fire now in this lifetime. To make Hell be a literal place not of this earth that sets on fire a literal tongue of a living person on this earth would somehow make that person's tongue be in contact with a place that is not on this earth. James used Gehenna as a place of uncleanness, which he figuratively applied to a vile tongue.

[8] THERE ARE ALSO MANY OTHER TRANSLATIONS THAT DO NOT HAVE "HELL" IN THEM.
THE NEW TESTAMENT IN MODERN ENGLISH" BY J. B. PHILLIPS SAYS, "AND GO TO THE RUBBISH-HEAP WHERE THE FIRE NEVER DIES" (MARK 9:43); AND "THROWN ON THE RUBBISH-HEAP, WHERE DECAY NEVER STOPS AND THE FIRE NEVER GOES OUT" (MARK 9:49). ALSO MATTHEW 5:29, 18:9, MARK 9:47, "FIRE OF DESTRUCTION" IN MATTHEW 5:22, 10:28, 32:33, LUKE 12:5. HE LEAVES OUT "GEHENNA," A NAME OF A PARTICULAR PLACE; AND PUTS WHAT JERUSALEM'S GEHENNA WAS TO THE PEOPLE OF THAT TIME TO MAKE IT WHERE PEOPLE TODAY WILL UNDERSTAND THE SAME THING THE JEWS CHRIST WAS SPEAKING TO WOULD HAVE UNDERSTAND. MANY TODAY WOULD NOT KNOW THAT GEHENNA WAS THE RUBBISH-HEAP OF JERUSALEM. THIS IS NOT A TRANSLATION OF THE GREEK, BUT IT IS A GOOD COMMENTARY. HE TRANSLATED "GEHENNA" INTO HELL ONLY ONE TIME (JAMES 3:6). THIS IS THE ONLY TIME HELL IS IN HIS TRANSLATION, AND SHOWS HE BELIEVED IN HELL, BUT KNOWS THE GREEK MANUSCRIPTS DID NOT HAVE IT.

DID JESUS SAY MORE ABOUT HELL THAN HEAVEN?
It has been said often by many preachers that Jesus said more about Hell than He did about Heaven. Is this the truth or a lie that has been told so many times by preachers that many believe it without questioning it? The truth is that without mistranslating to make Jesus say something He or any New Testament writers did not say, there is not one word about Hell in the Bible. Although they said nothing about Hell they did say much about Heaven. Although Hell is not in the Bible, Heaven is hundreds of times referring to Heaven it’s self, the kingdom of Heaven, and to the universe – the heavens. The claim that Christ said more about Hell than He did about Heaven IS NOT TRUE and is only a desperate attempt to prove Hell.
