Truth evolves as you continue interpreting the Bible with the Bible.


Truth does not evolve - that implies a change in truth. Rather, our perception of truth changes as we grow to see more of it. Consider this analogy - you are in a darkened room. At the moment, you can see nothing. Then a little light enters the room, and you perceive your own hands. A little more light, and you notice the floor beneath you, a wall behind you, and some indistinct shape before you. A little more light, and the thing begins to take shape; you notice wheels, and a metallic gleam coming off it. Still more light, and you recognize that the thing before you is a farm tractor. Finally, with even more light, you see it is a John Deere tractor.
That tractor was there the whole time, but you didn't recognize it for what it was until there was enough light to see by. In the same way, truth doesn't change, but we don't fully grasp it all at once.

Now, as for a "spiritual" interpretation of the gates of Hades, I would say that Christ is referring to our enemies as Christians - not flesh and blood enemies, but spiritual ones. So Christ is letting us know that He is greater than any threat we may face. Again, no mention of being inside or outside of those gates is mentioned.

Jesus said "The Gates of Hell (Hades).

Are you inside or outside those gates...do you know what those gates are?

Since I would think of it as referring to the entrance into the land of the dead, I would say that, given my current state of being alive, I am outside.

Then what does Hades = Hell mean in I Corinthians 15:55.

Guess what, if we have not put on the Lord Jesus...we are in the land of the dead.

Well, since I don't see the word Hades or Hell in 1 Corinthians 15:55, I'm not sure how to answer that.

It's because the tranlators did not understand what Hades is either, so they place the word "grave" on Hades...some translations say death.

You have to have a Youngs Literal Translation or get an Interlinear Bible.

Or look it up in the Greek. Thanatos. It is consistently translated as death, not Hades. If you want to take it as meaning "Hades," that's your choice, but I don't see any textual support for such a translation.

I'm unfamiliar with that version. I prefer Nestle-Aland. Do you have a link with an easily accessible version of that text?

Product DescriptionThe only complete interlinear Bible available in English—and it’s keyed to Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance! Thousands of pastors, students, and laypeople have found The Interlinear Bible to be a time-saving tool for researching the subtle nuances and layers of meaning within the original biblical languages. Featuring the complete Hebrew and Greek texts with a direct English rendering below each word, it also includes The Literal Translation of the Bible in the outside column. But what truly sets this resource apart are the Strong’s numbers printed directly above the Hebrew and Greek words. Strong’s numbers enable even those with no prior knowledge of Greek or Hebrew to easily access a wealth of language reference works keyed to Strong’s—Greek/Hebrew dictionaries, analytical lexicons, concordances, word studies, and more.

The Hebrew is based on the Masoretic Text and the Greek is from the Textus Receptus. The sources of the texts are documented in the preface, and are essentially the same (with some minor variations) to the Hebrew and Greek texts used by the KJV translators.

Only a small minority of Bible students ever achieve the ability to read the original biblical languages. This resource offers a non-threatening tool for those lacking language training to begin exploring the languages of Scripture.

• Conveniently includes the entire Hebrew and Greek text of the Bible in one place

• Offering a concise, literal translation of each Greek and Hebrew word, it’s a great jumping off point for in-depth Bible study and text analysis.

*ahem* That isn't quite what I was after. I'm interested in an online version of the text itself, not a place from which to purchase a copy.
However, I am wary of it, seeing as how it bases its Greek off the textus receptus - a version known by most serious textual critics to be less desirable when one is seriously trying to get as close to the original autographs as possible.

I did. Thanatos is used twice.

then were left with a translational glitch. Hades is used both in the Youngs Literal and Hendrickson. I will check out the Nestle-Aland...do you have an online for it?

To keep the discussion going. What is your answer to Revelation 20:14 Death and Hades were cast into the LAKE OF FIRE.

I'm not sure if they use the entire Nestle-Aland, but greekbible.com at least treats 1 Cor. 15:55 in the same way.

Revelation is a highly figurative book, in my opinion. That particular instance represents the greatest foe of our life here on earth (namely, our death) being done away with forever.

Hades, in that instance, represented death also. The two are shown in conjunction throughout Revelation (see 1:18, 6:8, 20:13). It seems to be a place of the dead, but not an eternal place (see especially 20:13).

Mr Fribbles:

back to 1Cor 15:55 this is a quote of Hosea 13:14 which uses the word Sheol, which is translated Hades in the New Testament elsewhere. So i am inclined not to believe the transltion of Nestle-Aland.

The two Hebrew words which are written as thanatos have similar meanings - the realm of the dead.
Anyhow, I don't see how it especially matters. 1 Corinthians 15:50-58 is speaking of the entire destruction of fear concerning death that should be present in the life of the believer, not eternal states.
