Hades in the Bible?
Q: Where is Hades located?
A: You’re reading the wrong books.
The word Hades is not in the English Holy Bible.
It is a Greek word for which God’s chosen Translators correctly used the English word Hell.
You will be wise to get a proper Holy Bible, and learn Bible English.
People recoil when confronted with the reality of Hell, and so it is not surprising that devil-inspired revisers of God’s word have sought to soften, and even exclude the word Hell from the scriptures that God has delivered to us.
All modern Bibles are broken, and lead to Apostasy.
That is why you can only trust the perfect English Bible: The KJV.
<< Use a Real Holy Bible, with the true text of God’s Word in English: The KJV.
You’ll be happy when you learn Bible English.
You actually mean, “Where is Hell located?”
I wonder what prompts such a question.
Are you thinking of terrestrial grid-references or stellar way-points?
Hell is just as real as Heaven, but neither are located in our physical realm.
Both are places for departed spirits.
When your spirit leaves your body, the Bible makes it plain that it will continue to exist forever, either in Heaven or Hell, precisely according to God’s Word.
To get to Heaven and avoid Hell you must be born again.
Religion and dead works won’t make it. Only trusting in the Gift of God will give you this once in a lifetime experience.
Heaven and Hell do not have physical locations because they are in the spiritual realm.
Heaven is described relative to Hell’s position, in that Heaven is high above, and Hell is deep below. (Job. 11:8, Ps. 55:15, 86:13, 139:8, Pr. 7:27, 9:18, Is. 14:15, Eze. 31:16, Amos 9:2, 2 Pe. 2:4 etc.)
For example Ps. 103:11, and Is. 55:9 KJV;
For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
King David rejoiced in God’s mercy, Ps. 86:13 KJV;
For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
God wants you to settle it once and for all… eternal bliss with Christ in Heaven, or everlasting torment in Hell with the lost. Are you going up or down?
Christ and Hell
Q: I looked at your answer to, Did Jesus Go to Hell? Please explain, from what I read, opinion varies between people in one camp or another, and I wish it were not so, it’s so confusing to a new Christian! Belinda
A: You ask about these previous answers; God went to Hell for you, Jesus in Hell, and Did Christ go to Hell?.
There are numerous scripture references there to point you to the Truth; study them asking Father to give you revelation, believe He will, then give Him time to show you, and stay attentive to His Spirit in your heart.
However, you’re trying to run before you can walk. That’s why you are confused.
Become grounded in the basics of redemption, then the rest comes into proper perspective and clarity.
Tip: Wise new Christians study only the Gospel of John and John’s First Epistle for the first six months of their new life in Christ. Doing this ensures they have a thorough grasp of the essentials of redemption in Christ; wholehearted repentance, faith, and love.
Studying the word of God as though it were a textbook or manual, is not enough, we need to read the Holy Bible in the Holy Spirit to get direct revelation from God Himself, sound doctrine and proper understanding.
Reading it in the Spirit means; attending to the Holy Ghost, letting Him teach what He means by the words in the Holy Bible.
Plenty of folks read the Bible with their minds, and consequently make of it what they choose to perceive, instead of what God meant.
God increases understanding of His word, as you obey it. That is how to grow quickly in Christ, and remain happy and secure in your walk with Him.
Listening to man’s opinion, and human reasoning about the word, is a sure way to become confused, and fall into Satan’s snares.
Don’t believe what your pastor says, or what anybody says, including me, unless it is confirmed in the Holy Bible and by the witness of the Spirit of God.
When you have a question about the Bible, go to the Author and ask Him. That’s what I’ve always done: Father loves it when His children seek Him and His Truth. But to really please the LORD, walk in that truth, and you will experience the joy, peace and victory of God.
Now ask Him if that is sound advice.
