DEATH
GRAVE
and HELL

There is a longing hope within men that death does not end all existence—that somehow, the life now begun will have a continuation. Questions often accompany the grieving heart: "Where is my departed loved one?" "Do good people go to heaven and bad people to hell?" Many hard questions need to be answered to assure us that God truly is love and that He has a wonderful plan of salvation for all.
(1 Timothy 2:3-6; 4:10)

When God sentenced Adam to death for the sin of disobedience, there was no mention of an immortal soul burning eternally. God tells us the penalty for sin: “the soul that sinneth, it shall die.” So how, then, did this doctrine of a burning hell enter church doctrine? Christians need to be armed with the facts as to the proper definitions of "death" and "grave," and the correct interpretation of the word "hell." Topical studies on the subject reveal the logical and harmonious truth, that the word "hell" in both the Hebrew and the Greek means "grave." Both good and bad people go there. Yes, "God is love." He assures us that the thought of torturing His children would never even cross His mind. (Isaiah 29:13; Jeremiah 19:5; 1 John 4:16-18)
