Michael547:
Oga your king James translation used hell according to context. Does that not tell you that sheol can be translated as hell? Yes or no?

What is the meaning of hell in that context of Jonah 2:2?
Yeah, rightly translated hell. It was a figurative expression to let us know the harrowing experience he went through in the belly of the fish.

He wasn't in a literal hell or grave since he was not dead at the time. Or you want to tell us that living people go to hell?

This Jonah verse here further proves that the word Sheol should be understood according to context.

Peter never said Jesus went to Hell to preach to DEAD souls! cheesy
Explain the scripture in your own language and I'll counter you if it doesn't follow sound interpretation.

Jonah is in his GRAVE because that is a place of inactivity which could have been his real grave if not for God's intervention.
That's why the Bible says there is no activity in SHEOL (Hebrew) HADES (Greek) HELL (English) where DEAD people goes! Ecclesiastes 9:10 wink
Yet he cried and prayed in the grave, the place of inactivity. May God have mercy on you guys!

How many times do i have to do that?

Angels left their abode in heaven and came down to have SEX with female humans {Genesis 6:1-2} the unnatural mating led to the birth of notorious giants {Genesis 6:4} this giants terrorised the inhabited earth and many people turned to violence {Genesis 6:5} God told Noah to build an Ark for obedient and peace loving humans but only his family listened to him.

God sent heavy rain for 40 days and 40 nights so that all living things on dry land were wiped off except those inside the Ark with Noah.

The angels dropped off their materialized bodies and returned to heaven the spirit realms but God didn't allow them to join His loyal spirit sons again and they were disengaged awaiting judgement.

Abeg what is difficult to grasp in this?

Humans died according to God's word that sinners will pay with their lives {Genesis 2:17} and that has cleared their sins since they have paid with their human lives {Romans 6:7} but angels who can't die naturally are reserved for the day of judgement. 1Peter 3:18-20; 2Peter 2:4; Jude 1:6

They are the spirits that the death of Jesus has a deep meaning for because he was one of the spirit sons of God and they don't know that it's possible for them to die like humans since they are like God in nature! Psalms 82:6-7

He wasn't dead but it could have been his end if God didn't intervene that's why Revelations 20:13 said the sea gave up the dead in them because many people were eaten by fish so if Jonah wasn't miraculously rescued that would have been his own GRAVE! smiley

Since living people do not go to hell, is there consciousness in sheol?

Are lining people the only conscious beings in the universe?

People don't go to hell as living bodies. They go to hell as living spirits.

Fish is not grave. Anything that ends up in the belly of a fish goes through a digested process and gets excreted out. Your analogy is very illogical. Fish is not grave!

Lol...please provide a verse that shows that people go to hell as living spirits?

Please explain the difference between hell and grave even though they are both from the same Hebrew word Sheol?

Very wobbled Theology. I cannot stop laughing.

Hey, the angels who did not keep their first estate are still imprisoned in eternal chains and darkness. Take note, ETERNAL CHAINS AND DARKNESS

Here's the scripture:

Jude 1:6:

"And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day."

They remain there even after the resurrection of Jesus. Their fate is ETERNAL. No preaching to them. Okay?

Jesus came to earth, became man, died and resurrected all because of MAN. No, angels were not included in the plan of salvation!

If the fallen angels of Noah's days are the ones Peter was referring to, then, they should no longer be under chains. They should be free but actually, they're Perpetually chained in eternal darkness. Jesus didn't go to preach to them. It's absolutely useless! They're there waiting for the day of judgement. That's sound biblical doctrine.

The spirits Jesus preached to in prison are men. The spirits of men and not those of fallen angels.

I have a lot of shockers still waiting for you if you think you can continue peddling this false doctrine and not get yourself to blame in the end. Why do you hate the truth this much?

My God, it's all over the Bible. I have cited the Parable of Abraham, Lazarus and the rich man. I've cited the Book of Revelation where there were souls under the altar. I've cited Saul and Samuel. And there are several other scriptures which I cannot presently remover that makes us know that men turn to spirits when they die. Even Maxindhouse once said Jesus resurrected as a spirit before he was shown the scriptures that proves Jesus resurrected as a living body. It shows you guys know the truth but you want lies to prevail!

Ha!

1. Jesus doesn't preach to any other being except men. Men are the only reason why He came to earth, died and resurrected. Only men.

2. Peter clearly said He preached to the disobedient people who refused to enter the ark in the days of Noah. Very very clear. Clearer than 7up!

In the book of Revelation, is it the 'spirit' of people that were crying in hell or the 'souls' of martyrs that was crying under the altar?

In the parable of the rich man and Lazarus, where did Jesus say that it was the 'spirit' of the rich man and Lazarus that was in hades and the blossom of Abraham?
Why was the rich man asking for water since he was not with his body in hades? Do spirits drink water?

In the case of saul and Samuel, does the Bible say that Samuel was speaking from hell? Why did God forbade the isrealites from trying to communicate with the dead in Deuteronomy 18:11 if conscious spirits of dead people actually exist?

He resurrected with His body. The life giving Spirit dwells in that resurrected body. We too will resurrect with that same type of body if we die before Jesus comes.

What sort of useless questions are these.

Human have spirits, souls and bodies. When the body dies, the spirit and soul is alive in the spirit realm. Hence you can refer to that individual as a soul and as a spirit.

In Hebrews 12:23, we are told that we fellowship with the Spirits of Just men made perfect. The word Made Perfect is talking about the men who have died. Infact the book calls them a cloud of witnesses who keep urging us on to our eternal rewards.

Foolish question. I need to say this because you've asked so many of them that I've ignored. Please choose your questions wisely next time. I don't need to answer that foolish question querying if Jesus said it was the spirit of the spirits of Abraham, Lazarus and the rich man that are in hell. No it was not their spirit, it was your spirit.

The Samuel question is another foolish question. Samuel was actually speaking from your house I guess.

Since living people do not go to hell, is there consciousness in sheol?
God is the universal divine consciousness
Man is Consciousness(God') +Body made from Dust of the earth.

When man's number is up..the Consciousness leaves and becomes one with God. And we bury the body (after some ceremony) for it to return back to the earth and the body becomes one with the earth.
We are all Gods experiencing life in multiple ways....
Digest it .

Oga please read Ecclesiastics 12:7 and psalms 146:4 to know what happens when a person dies. Is the soul and spirit the same?

In Hebrews 12:23, is that place talking about 'spirits' of dead people in hell or faithful men who have been transformed to spirits creatures in heaven?

Kindly provide evidence for your claims about the parable of Lazarus and the rich man and also that of saul and Samuel.

This I have explained in my very first posts on this thread. I also stated why some souls are not in silence.

Faithful men of course. To let you know that not all spirits are silent and unconscious after death.

Where does Ecclesiastics 12:7 and Psalms 146:4 mention the word 'soul'? Kindly bring it out.

Does Hebrews 12:23 speaks of conscious spirits in hell as you have been claiming?


Bring out evidence of the word 'spirit' or 'soul' in the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. Bring out evidence of the word 'hell' and 'spirit' in the passage of Samuel and saul.
