Why was my question removed?

Question

I asked as question about Hell, Hades, Sheol, and Gehenna. I asked if people think Hell is one location or has different levels. What's the problem with this line of questioning? The email notice is vague

All four of these places/names are mentioned in the Bible.

Answer 1

I think many people have the same experience, anger and frustration. Even if you appeal, all they would answer is "read our guidelines." And, there is no answer there.

I have the same experience. But, come to think of it, Yahoo is an invisible monster. How can you fight with this monster?
We have no idea as to why they did it, who did it, if they are drunk or not. The executioner's face is always hidden.

Maybe the next victim would be me. My neck is kept clean.

Answer 2

I think Hades is where you go when you die. Hell is where Christ cast the wicked when He returns. Sheol and Gehenna is another word for Hell. There will only be one level in Heaven and Hell.

Answer 3

Hell is one level but then to other countries beliefs it could be multiple levels
Personally i just think that all the names mean the same thing but the different religions have a different descriptions

IMO-there is nothing wrong with the question

Answer 4

Hades is the Greek version.
Sheol is the Hebrew version
Hell is the same as hades.

All the above merely refer to mankinds common grave.
Not a burning place unseen to the eye that people would be tortured in forever. Not compatible with God's personality.

Notice here Jeremiah 7:31 and you tell me if such a thing is.
Also, when the Scripture is referring to "they" it is talking about HUMANS!

"And they have built the high places of To′pheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hin′nom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.’" -Jeremiah 7:31

Gehenna refers to "the valley of Hinnom" were there was a
garbage dump. they used to put sulfer on it to burn it up.
Criminals not deserving a decent burial were thown there to be burned and eaten by maggots.

here is another explanation:

“Gehenna”—Symbol of Complete Destruction

Heb., םנה יג (geh hin·nom′, “valley of Hinnom”);

Gr., γέεννα (ge′en·na); Lat., ge·hen′na

“Gehenna” means “valley of Hinnom,” for it is the Greek form of the Hebrew geh hin·nom′. In Jos 18:16, where “valley of Hinnom” occurs, LXX reads “Gehenna.” It occurs 12 times in the Christian Greek Scriptures, first appearing in Mt 5:22. The New World Translation renders it “Gehenna” in all its occurrences, namely, in Mt 5:22, 29, 30; 10:28; 18:9; 23:15, 33; Mr 9:43, 45, 47; Lu 12:5; Jas 3:6.

The valley of Hinnom lay to the west and south of ancient Jerusalem. (Jos 15:8; 18:16; Jer 19:2, 6) Under the later kings of Judah it was used for the idolatrous worship of the pagan god Molech, to which god human sacrifices were offered by fire. (2Ch 28:3; 33:6; Jer 7:31, 32; 32:35) To prevent its use again for such religious purposes, faithful King Josiah had the valley polluted, particularly the part called Topheth.—2Ki 23:10.

The Jewish commentator David Kimḥi (1160?-1235?), in his comment on Ps 27:13, gives the following historical information concerning “Gehinnom”: “And it is a place in the land adjoining Jerusalem, and it is a loathsome place, and they throw there unclean things and carcasses. Also there was a continual fire there to burn the unclean things and the bones of the carcasses. Hence, the judgment of the wicked ones is called parabolically Gehinnom.”

The valley of Hinnom became the dumping place and incinerator for the filth of Jerusalem. Bodies of dead animals were thrown in to be consumed in the fires to which sulphur, or brimstone, was added to assist the burning. Also bodies of executed criminals, who were considered undeserving of a decent burial in a memorial tomb, were thrown in. If such dead bodies landed in the fire they were consumed, but if their carcasses landed upon a ledge of the deep ravine their putrefying flesh became infested with worms, or maggots, which did not die until they had consumed the fleshy parts, leaving only the skeletons.

No living animals or human creatures were pitched into Gehenna to be burned alive or tormented. Hence, the place could never symbolize an invisible region where human souls are tormented eternally in literal fire or attacked forever by undying worms. Because the dead criminals cast there were denied a decent burial in a memorial tomb, the symbol of the hope of a resurrection, Gehenna was used by Jesus and his disciples to symbolize everlasting destruction, annihilation from God’s universe, or “second death,” an eternal punishment.

Therefore, to have one’s dead body cast into Gehenna was considered the worst kind of punishment. From the literal Gehenna and its significance, the symbol of the ‘lake burning with fire and sulphur’ was drawn.—Re 19:20; 20:10, 14, 15; 21:8.

Answer 5

I see nothing wrong with your question because hell is a doctrine that is taught in the Bible. I assume that you did not condemn some person to that place/condition (absolute separation from God)! That would definitely have been justifiable grounds for having a question removed!

Answer 6

the sheol that is mentioned in the bible, is actually a graveyard for criminals. they had a shameful death since they werent put to death properly, instead, they were burned and thrown in the graveyard, without being burried. that is why when the bible speaks of hell and sheol, its refferring to an eternal and shameful death.

Answer 7

The Flying Spagheti Monster thinks that hell is useless.

Ramen !

Answer 8

I believe there are different levels of Hell.

Answer 9

Yahoo's support staff is overworked and underfed, and have about four seconds to decide if any complaint is real. Sometimes they make mistakes.

Ask again.

Answer 10

I'd guess some god freak got all bent out of shape & tried to report it.
