Isn't it cool how they drug Greek Mythology into the bible and called it canon?

Question

===MATT.11:23---WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HADES
===1COR.15:55---O HADES, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY
hmmmm, that's all greek to me. what do you think?

Answer 1

The bible is a mish-mash of all kinds of mythologies and folk tales. Look at the mythical story of Noah for example. In the Greek flood myth, the heroes climbed into an enormous box and saved themselves while the wicked died. Sound familiar?
The bible is filled with these plagerized anecdotes.
And people are gullible enough to believe them to be true. Amazing stupidity on thier part.

Answer 2

I think you do not know what you are talking about!
There is a world of difference between using a common idea of the time to make a point and canonize.
The New Testament was written in Arabic and Greek

Hades [from Greek Hadēs (ᾍδης), originally Haidēs (Ἅιδης) or Aïdēs (Ἀΐδης); of uncertain origin,[1] although it has been ascribed to Greek "unseen"[2]] refers to both the ancient Greek abode of the dead and the god of that underworld. The word originally referred to just the god; haidou, its genitive, was short for "the house of Hades". Eventually, the nominative, too, came to designate the abode of the dead.

Hades was also known as Pluto (from Greek Πλούτων, Ploutōn), and was known by this name, as well as Dis Pater and Orcus, in Roman mythology; the corresponding Etruscan god was Aita. "Hades" is employed by Christians as a residing place for souls that have fallen from grace.

Answer 3

you are mistaken, this is not mythology. It is a word. The Jews like the Greeks had a name for the place where the dead go (Sheol). Hades is the Greek equivalent. When the NT uses the word Hades it is simply referring to the place where dead people go (literal meaning: the grave, unseen).

Answer 4

Well it makes sense seeing as most of the oldest remaining scrolls of the bible are written in Greek and have been translated from Greek. Hades, Hell, Lake of fire, all the same thing. Don't be so critical until you do some research.

Answer 5

Greek mythology is style of a faith because it turned right into a faith for further years than Christianity has yet existed. i assume that for non-Christians the Bible sounds like a useful piece of fiction, too. :-) about some similarities : a million. In both circumstances there turned right into a warfare in heaven. The Olympian gods antagonistic to the Titans - devil antagonistic to God. 2. They both communicate of cataclysms that wiped people and animals from the face of the Earth. both Deukalion and Noah were kept by using construction arks. 3. Pandora and Eve. a woman motives all woes to befall humankind. 4. Asclepius, son of Apollo, and Jesus, son of God might want to both enhance people from the useless. 5. both the Olympians and the God of the Bible required animal sacrifices. that is what's composed of my concepts accurate this second. i'm positive that there are a mode of extra memories in complication-free in case you're taking a even as to seek slightly.

Answer 6

Hmmm. Since the New Testament was written in Greek in the first place, sounds right. What's wrong with a few poetic elements in the Bible? It's not stating anything incorrect. Just another name for Hell from a gentile perspective.

Answer 7

There is a difference between Greek mythology and the Greek language, which those passages were written in.

Answer 8

Hades=Hell
kinda like Lucifer=Satan=the Devil
Same thing, different name

Answer 9

Wow, isn't it cool how Greek mythology borrowed imagery from the Sumerians and Egyptians and called it canon too? Let it go.

Answer 10

All religions were copied from other religions. It's the way of it. Just like writers now steal from each other. Not enough that it's plagirism, just enough to let things sneak by. It's a wonderful world.
