Lol. What's NKJV stand for? Neopagan Koine Jesus-free Version?
edit-sigh- can't take a joke can you guys? I know that it's New King James Version, but somehow I don't see our mayor scrutinizing one of those. ;)

The Old Testament teaches life after death, and that all people went to a place of conscious existence called Sheol. The wicked were there (Psalm 9:17; 31:17; 49:14; Isaiah 5:14), and so were the righteous (Genesis 37:35; Job 14:13; Psalm 6:5; 16:10; 88:3; Isaiah 38:10).
The New Testament equivalent of Sheol is Hades. Prior to Christ’s resurrection, Luke 16:19-31 shows Hades to be divided into two realms: a place of comfort where Lazarus was, and a place of torment where the rich man was. The word hell in verse 23 is not “Gehenna” (place of eternal torment) but “Hades” (place of the dead). Lazarus’s place of comfort is elsewhere called Paradise (Luke 23:43). Between these two districts of Hades is “a great gulf fixed” (Luke 16:26).
Jesus is described as having descended into Hades after His death (Acts 2:27, 31; cf. Ephesians 4:9). At the resurrection of Jesus Christ, it seems that the believers in Hades (i.e., the occupants of Paradise) were moved to another location. Now, Paradise is above rather than below (2 Corinthians 12:2-4).
Today, when a believer dies, he is “present with the Lord” (2 Corinthians 5:6-9). When an unbeliever dies, he follows the Old Testament unbelievers to Hades. At the final judgment, Hades will be emptied before the Great White Throne, where its occupants will be judged prior to entering the lake of fire (Revelation 20:13-15).

Look Matt 11:23, Luke 16:23, Acts 2:31..instead of the OT
When in OT, look Sheol...Gen 37:35, Job 7:9, Ps 49:15, Pr 15:11, Is 38:10, Eze 32:27, Hab 2:15

There are two hells one is spoken of in the Bible as the grave. The other is hinted at and described in the book of Enoch, once a document used by the Hebrews and the early Christians. This hell is a second chance for some to reconcile with God. I bring this up because we are told that death,hell, and all those that have no part in the Lord will be cast in the lake of fire. If hell were only a grave there would be no sense in casting a grave into the lake of fire there for hell must also be something else.

If the translator is faithful to the Hebrew and Greek used in the Bible, then the Greek word Hades would only appear in the Christian writings and Sheol which equals Hades in the Hebrew writings.
One Bible translator however used Hades in the Old Testament - maybe he thought that people were more familiar with Hades than Sheol.
Sheol, Hades, both refer to the common grave of mankind. Everybody, good, evil, in between goes there! See box below.

devil wasn't even in the recent testomony until eventually the middle a at the same time as. The Christian administration of the time determined the human beings were too dumb and illiterate to understand the concept of evil as portion of the international. therefore they took that idea and connected to a Hodge podge of images they took from bits and products of the country Gods and outfitted what they confirmed their sheep as a personification of evil and baptized the pictured creature devil. Then they blamed each terrible or unexplained prevalence of lack of life in this creature of their personal making. The schmucks fell for it and they are nevertheless sheep....even their personal clergy call them flocks. . . . and they do shear them.

No, in fact is says basically the opposite. If you aren't Jewish you have an equal share in Paradise, just less laws to follow.

Nope, no such thing as Hell or Hades in Judaism.

It doesn't. Jews had no need of being "saved" so long as they tried to lead good lives and keep Moses' Law.
