9:10
Bible

Smith's Literal Translation
All which thy hand shall find to do, with thy
strength, do thou; for no work and
understanding and knowledge and
wisdom, in hades where thou goest there

Catholic Translations
Douay-Rheims Bible
Whatsoever thy hand is able to do, do it
earnestly: for neither work, nor reason, nor
wisdom, nor knowledge shall be in hell,
whither thou art hastening

Catholic Public Domain Version
Whatever your hand is able to do, do it
earnestly. For neither work, nor reason, nor
wisdom, nor knowledge will exist in death,
toward which you are hurrying

King James Bible
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it
with thy might; for there is no work, nor
device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the
grave, whither thou goest.
Hades, hell is not the grave! This is the literal Hebrew view.

Check the Hebrew Bible for the same verse. I'm busy now. Can't post it here.

Only dead bodies stay in the grave, not spirits. Hades is not grave. Hades is the underworld. A place where spirits of dead men dwell.
This is what Revelations 20:13 ssys

The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. ‭NIV‬

And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. KJV

And the sea gave up the dead in it, and death and the Grave gave up the dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds. NWT


So Mr Cruise Hell, Hades and Grave means the same thing! cheesy

Oga which one is literal Hebrew view again? Don't run oo...come and post your own.

You have been exposed....is there consciousness in hell and Hades as stated in Ecclesiastics 9:10?

The death God told Adam and Eve are two types:
1. Spiritual death: Separation from God which was instant.
2. Physical death: Separation of the spirit from the body which was gradual.
So Adam and Eve are now in another location as what? cheesy

What are you inferring here? You and who are discussing Ecclesiastes 9:10? Ecclesiastes 9:10 is talking about the grave. The literal pit where dead body are placed.

Peter was not talking about the literal pit. What sort of manipulation is this?

Surprisingly the so called CULT has better understanding of certain scriptures than you and your pastors because the word:

Hell (15th century English)
Hades (Greek)
Sheol (Hebrew)

Means GRAVE! cheesy

If they mean the same thing, why was the rich man talking from hell? Why did Jesus say He has the keys of death and Hades in Revelation 1:18? Does the grave have keys?

You must answer both questions please.

Is the grave in the spirit realm?
Why was Jesus preaching to spirits in the hell if hell is the literal physical pit? Do spirits reside in the pit?

I am waiting for you to prove those translations are manipulative translations.

It's does not matter the translation. In all cases you look at context. Without that one is just being foolish as a Bible reader.

Peter pressed to spirits in hell. Do spirits reside in the grave?

Jesus used an ILLUSTRATION it's not real event that's why he never mentioned any good done by the Lazarus nor evil deeds of the rich man.

Death: Dead ones not burial.
Hades: Dead ones buried. smiley

So the context in Ecclesiastics does not allow for grave to be translated as hell and Hades? Or what are you talking about? Can't you see that your so-called hell and Hades is also grave?

Jesus said in Revelation 1:18 that He has the keys of death and hell, does grave have keys?

So are you saying that the apostle Peter disagree with Solomon that there is no consciousness in hell?
If you are a Bible student, you would know that the Greek word in 2 Peter 2:4 is not hades which is also known as hell....but Tartarus. Is Tartarus and Hades the same?

When talking about Hell/Grave in illustration it means a condition where such ones are rendered inactive before God so Jesus is talking about the condition Pharisees found themselves when the Christ is around, humble Jews who always beg for spiritual food now have it in abundance from Jesus while the Pharisees to whom common Jews do go now found themselves in a condition where they become inactive as John the baptist and Jesus of Nazareth kept telling them that they need to drop their positions if they want to be saved that's the meaning of the illustration!
