Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

And here we still are as we read those words.
I haven't supported my own arguments, eh? I guess the Bible isn't the only one with revisionist history.
Pertinacious.
"When I say Dartmouth to you do you think “mouth of the Dart river” or do you think of the famous school there?"
Personally, I think of the school. But that's irrelevant because when I look into the word itself I can find all the information about the word and where it came from, why it was used, etc. I understand what you're trying to say. You're implying that the words had an original meaning long before the Bible was written, and that the meaning had changed by the time of the Bible to mean "hell" as a place of eternal torture.
But that's not the case, and most scholars agree that both She'ol and Ge'henna (two words often associated with hell, and even translated as "hell" in some Bibles) did not refer to a place of torment or an afterlife at the time of writing. And those viewpoints are supported by other parts of the Bible.
If you see the words "It is right", you know it could mean "morally just" or "a relative direction". By itself it's ambiguous. But if in the next sentence you see "Be sure to not go left", then with the context you know that's a direction. This is a simplistic example, and the words She'ol and Ge'hanna are not ambiguous, but I'm illustrating that with additional context the meaning is revealed, and we see that with the other verses in the Bible.
You keep saying this, and I haven't seen you cited a source or shown some kind of supporting evidence (unless I genuinely missed it). Your comments are "trust me bro" and "nuh-uh!".
Argument from authority.
I see we don't know how "" work. I told you to go read the Talmud already and you didn't even put that supposed language ability you have work.
Well, do you have one?
Really? You're gonna pull that one and nitpick about proper grammatical use of double quotes?
What's the point? You want me to read it to satisfy this argument? You know it's a unreasonable and unattainable request just on the merit of the volume of reading alone, all for a "Reddit" debate. But you'll just position it as me not putting in the requisite work to approach your level of knowledge. It's the same argument flat earthers make when they say "show us an actual picture of a round spinning ball", but when presented with a satellite photo they just claim it's CGI, so they insist "if you didn't take the photo yourself, then you don't have any proof". Because it's obviously ridiculous for an average person to muster the finances and resources to get into orbit and take a photo just to win an argument with a flat earther.
I'm not going to read the Talmud based on your insistence, and frankly you already knew that. Which is why you said it so that you can try to chock it up as a "win". You do you.
