[SIZE=-1]Hell is a concept perceived by men. It is not part of the original teaching of Judaism. The Hebrew word Sheol translated into English is "Grave."[/SIZE]
Isnt that an amazing piece of Scripture!?You guys must think that I am just voicing my opinion. Let me say it again: The word "Sheol" TRANSLATED into English is the word "Grave." The word "Hell is an INTERPRETATION. And that is a FACT. If the soul (body and spirit) that sins dies, then how is it that there is life in hell?
Genesis 18:25
Far be it from you to do such a thingto kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
how many times do I have to say it:
sheol is NOT hell
sheol is the abode of the dead at this current time that is somehow spiritually connected to the earth
sinners and righteous alike dwell awaiting resurrection
the lake of fire is "hell"
those who have the spirit are(and those who die in christ are resting in comfort separated from the wicked)
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he powerb
to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh,
nor of the will of man, but of God.
b power: or, the right, or, privilege
Hell or Hades, both are known in the Pagan religions as the abode of the dead. I re-edited this post because you are correct: Sheol, the GRAVE, is a place for the dead.how many times do I have to say it:

Yes, I have studied the book of Enoch. The book also states that it is a parable. And again the word sheol means grave, and the word mal'ak means messenger. I also study the dead sea scrolls. My book edited by RH Charles also has special marking by corrupted scripture from Gnostics.hades was substituted for sheol in greek translations because it was already so well known as the abode of the dead due to mythology
sheol is from hebrew scripture(like I said 1 enoch is probably the first scripture to ever be written)
have you ever read enoch? its hard for me imagine someone reading that book and still believing hell and angels to be false given that it seems to focus on both more so then any other scripture I've read
The word "Heaven-s" literally means "place-s."No Hell then no Heaven... sounds logical huh?

I also believe parables are used for the purpose of describing the unexplainable.I believe the mention of parables is because its impossible to describe the heavens in physical language so Enoch uses earthly symbolism to describe what hes seeing
I did not say there is no other reason for parables.in this case they are...the parables jesus spoke are explainable
Oh, I did not know you were lying. You sure deceived me.Sorry bud...was just joking there actually.
I don't think there is a way you could prove it.
Thanks for being a good sport though!
Peace
