→"Hell is mentioned only in the New Testament rather than the Old Testament." Really?
So either way, Andy is lying. If one takes the broad view about the words in the KJV translated as "hell," he's wrong, because [https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=hell&version=KJV sheol is mentioned a few dozen times in the Hebrew Bible]. If one takes the specific view of "hell" in reference to the lake of fire, Andy is also wrong, because the lake of fire is never explicitly called "hell" even in the New Testament.

TL;DR: Andy needs to stop yapping about topics he has no basic understanding in. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Wednesday, 14:04, July 10, 2024 (EDT)
TL;DR: Andy needs to stop yapping about topics he has no basic understanding in, especially when it comes to biblical theology. There's already enough pathetic misinformation out there. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Wednesday, 14:04, July 10, 2024 (EDT)
:Here's what an expert says on [[NPR]]:
::GROSS: Are there specific passages in the Hebrew Bible that support the notion of an afterlife?
::EHRMAN: Yeah, no, it's a good question. And people generally point to these passages in the Book of Psalms that talk about Sheol, or Sheol. It's a word that gets mistranslated into English. Sometimes Sheol is translated by the word hell, and it absolutely is not what people think of as hell. ...
::If you actually look at what the Psalms say about Sheol, they always equate it to the grave or to the pit. And so it appears that the ancient Israelites simply thought that when you died, your body got buried someplace. It got put in a grave, or it got put in a pit, and that's what they called Sheol, is the place that your remains are. But it's not a place where you continue to exist afterwards.

::Citing liberal denialist Bart Ehrman as an "expert"? Whatever happened to the best of the public over the liberal elite- oh well, I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised anymore... —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>Rev. 22:13</sup>]]''''' Wednesday, 16:12, July 10, 2024 (EDT)
