The native language that Jesus spoke, like most Jews in those days was Aramaic. He also had a working knowledge of Hebrew, which is closely related to Aramaic. I suspect that He also had knowledge of Greek as well since out side of the Jewish community that was the common language in the day. But, as I said, most Jews spoke Aramaic.Is that some kind of special bahai inspiration.How do know that ?.

Jesus was a simple carpenter, not an educated man. Aramaic, not Greek would have been the lingua franca where he lived.
Congratulations you found a couple of references to hades as opposed to the numerous ones I found for Gehenna which you had denied.
When Matthew's gospel refers to hades it is alluding to Old Testament verses regarding sheol.
Sheol got translated as hades in the Septuagint. It is a reference to the grave, not a place of burning torment. Jesus is saying death will not prevail against the church.

Aramaic was the common language for all of greater Syria at the time, not just the Jewish community.
God would know when a person reached the point that they will never accept his Love (this is not something I can know).I think God's love is such that He will try again and again. That's why, while I can accept the notion of the crucifixion as atonement, I can't see it as a once-and-never-again event.
Have you considered the possibility that God has brought you to a Christian website to help you to accept Christ?This seems to be based upon the idea that everybody who isn't a Christian is at war with G-d. I'm not. I'm open to whatever He wants for me. But that openness has always brought me back to Judaism and not to Jesus.
I'll consider it if you consider maybe He brought me here to open some eyes to the truth and remove their idolatry. I don't believe either to be true.Have you considered the possibility that God has brought you to a Christian website to help you to accept Christ?
Are you fighting the idea that Christ is the Messiah?

Mans objective while here on earth is to obtain and grow Godly type Love so man can Love God and secondly others with all his heart, soul, mind and energy.It doesn't say God's love isn't there first, it says that love can't reach us, i.e. it doesn't effect us unless we love God.
Anyone who accepts God's love already loves Him.
Not to my understanding.That sounds more like Islam.
Like burning in literal hellfire for all eternity?

Those that have refused Gods Love to the point that they will never accept Gods Love, will be used by God, not out of love for them, to help others that are willing to accept to accept out of Love for those still willing.Everything that God does for anyone is motivated by His love.
Those that have refused Gods Love to the point that they will never accept Gods Love, will be used by God, not out of love for them, to help others that are willing to accept to accept out of Love for those still willing.That's way, WAY too exclusive. God is not exclusive!!
Everything God does, regardless of what He does, is done by Love. All of humanity is covered by God's Love, with out exception.

You and they got praised for doing the best you could equally. You equally got an appropriate allowance for your age so as you got older you would get the same.Children do better when they know what to expect, but they do not need to be treated equally. When I was a child my parents took in two foster kids, older than I. If they got C's on their report cards my parents praised them. Do you think the praised me when I got a "C"? Not hardly! They also got bigger allowances than I did because that is what my parents believed was appropriate to their age. My concept of justice and fairness was based on my parent's action not some predetermined ideal of equality. We were not equal and they didn't treat us that way.
Again something are done to visually confirm consistency and consistency is extremely important in parenting. The child that is never discipline by his/her parent and sees a lot of time, communication and effort being given siblings can assume the parents have more concern for the siblings then the parents have for them.When someone has truly repented it means they *already* acknowledge the significance of what they have done. We punish a child when we perceive that they probably can't, and our artificial consequences are far preferable to them experiencing the real and natural consequences.
Apparently you think people not accepting biblical loveare rejecting God's love in total .
People accept the needed rain, but do not humbly accept it as undeserved, unconditional, sacrificial Love from God. They can accept it as a loving child might accept a gift from a parent.
I'll consider it if you consider maybe He brought me here to open some eyes to the truth and remove their idolatry. I don't believe either to be true.
Both those words you used mean the same thing. If you mean if I fight the idea that Jesus is the Messiah, to be honest Jesus puts up not much of a fight. I look at scriptures, it doesn't add up, and I move on.
