Understanding The Terms, Times & Places Of Eternal Damnation

2. One must go to the OT Hebrew & NT Greek in each scripture to understand the terminology and to paint the right picture of eternal damnation.
There are two different words in the NT, both which were erroneously translated as “hell”. One is the greek word “Hades,” the other is “Gehenna.” But when Jesus and the NT writers spoke using the different terms, they intended a distinction.
Also the word “hades” in the NT and “sheol” in the OT is sometimes translated as “the grave” which is also misleading.
Jesus’ story of the “Rich man & Lazarus” in Luke 16:19-31begins to unravel the mystery for us.
