Why didn't GOD warn anybody about hell before DANIEL came ?

Question

ADAM & EVE were not warned. MOSES was not told even when he got the commandments. ABRAHAM was not told even when SODOM & GOMORRAH were destroyed. NOAH was not told even before the flood.

Answer 1

Hell being the name for separation from God, your point doesn't stand. Adam and Eve knew full well what the consequence of their actions were. They hid, remember. And Noah's generataion rejected God and not vice versa, so they could hardly be surprised. Yet, your question can be applied to those who say 'Lord, Lord' -- those people seem to be truly surprised. I think you assume that the warning has effects that we know it doesn't have. Remember, Lazarus saying that somebody should be sent to warn his brothers, that somebody rising from the dead would do the trick . The Bible says it doesn't work that way. I go with the Bible.
One more question, YOU have been warned. Has it worked ?

Answer 2

let's start with adam and eve...if they weren't told what do you call.....Genesis 2:15-17 says And Jehovah God proceeded to take the man and settle him in the garden of E′den to cultivate it and to take care of it. 16 And Jehovah God also laid this command upon the man: “From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. 17 But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.
I think you're confusing what some religions teach with what the bible really says. Hell is mankinds common grave. Moses,Abraham and the rest knew of this.

While the Greek teaching of the immortality of the human soul infiltrated Jewish religious thinking in later centuries, the Bible record shows that Sheol refers to mankind’s common grave as a place where there is no consciousness. (Ec 9:4-6, 10) Those in Sheol neither praise God nor mention him. (Ps 6:4, 5; Isa 38:17-19) Yet it cannot be said that it simply represents ‘a condition of being separated from God,’ since the Scriptures render such a teaching untenable by showing that Sheol is “in front of” him, and that God is in effect “there.” (Pr 15:11; Ps 139:7, 8; Am 9:1, 2) For this reason Job, longing to be relieved of his suffering, prayed that he might go to Sheol and later be remembered by Jehovah and be called out from Sheol.—Job 14:12-15.

Throughout the inspired Scriptures, Sheol is continually associated with death and not life. (1Sa 2:6; 2Sa 22:6; Ps 18:4, 5; 49:7-10, 14, 15; 88:2-6; 89:48; Isa 28:15-18; also compare Ps 116:3, 7-10 with 2Co 4:13, 14.) It is spoken of as “the land of darkness” (Job 10:21) and a place of silence. (Ps 115:17) Abel apparently was the first one to go to Sheol, and since then countless millions of human dead have joined him in the dust of the ground.

On the day of Pentecost 33 C.E., the apostle Peter quoted from Psalm 16:10 and applied it to Christ Jesus. Luke, in quoting Peter’s words, used the Greek word hai′des, thereby showing that Sheol and Hades refer to the same thing, mankind’s common grave. (Ac 2:25-27, 29-32) During the Thousand Year Reign of Jesus Christ, Sheol, or Hades, is emptied and destroyed, through a resurrection of all of those in it.—Re 20:13, 14; see GRAVE; HADES; HELL.

Answer 3

actual there have been innovations approximately this till now Jesus got here, in any different case Jesus' parable in Luke sixteen touching directly to the wealthy guy (who went to hades) and the undesirable guy Lazarus (who went to Abraham's Bosom) might have made no sense in any respect to his hearers! One difference between Jews and cutting-facet Christians is that Jews generally do not think of hell (Gehenna) lasts constantly, yet basically for a optimal of a 12 months. The Christians did not insist on an countless hell till the 5th and sixth centuries, decrease than Augustine interior the West and Emperor Justinian interior the East. the priority is somewhat murky in that we don't be attentive to precisely whilst the Hebrews reached this attractiveness and whilst it became a properly-liked conception. yet in 2 Maccabees 15:12-22, we do study that Judas Maccabeus had a imaginative and prescient of the intense Priest Onias, and the Prophet Jeremiah, who have been interceding in heaven for the Jewish human beings. EDIT: Why a thumbs-down? i take advantage of good judgment approximately Luke sixteen, and a pre-Christian scripture (2 Maccabees) -- what approximately that is unacceptable? Sheesh. @ Kelly: What you're saying is right, different than that most of the third and 4th century Christian instructors (Origen, Clement of Alexandria, Gregory of Nyssa, Gregory Nazianzen, and so on.) taught that, after a time of purification, that finally one and all would be stored. This looks to have been replaced later via Augustine (who did not be attentive to Hebrew or Greek) and Emperor Justinian (who purposefully inserted yet another observe interior the coaching to intend countless punishment). @ Kelly: particular, Gehenna is hell. study Rabbi Akiba, "the 2d Moses," who stated: "The era of the punishment of the depraved in Gehenna is 365 days." Adyoth 3: 10. EDIT 2: Why do i've got self belief Jehovah's witness prejudice here? hear, that is authentic that "Gehenna" became the rubbish sell off exterior the city partitions of Jerusalem. yet that is used as a logo for smash and being decrease off from God's human beings. And particular, that is clean that there became a theory of advantages and punishment after loss of life, or back, Luke sixteen is senseless in anyway. Jason ok. is fullyyt appropriate.

Answer 4

In Deuteronomy 32:22, Moses does speak about hell.

Answer 5

Yes, He did warn Adam and Eve. If they ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they would surely die.

Answer 6

Because Daniel was the first OT book, that has been significantly tampered with.

Its no coincidence that Daniel contains some stunningly accurate predictions of the future, and also contains the first reference to the pagan interpretation of Hell.

Makes sense that if someone was attempting to validate the bible by inserting fulfilled prophesy, that they would also insert their doctrine of hell doesn't it.

Edit --

Wohoo - born an expert, predestination must exist.....

Answer 7

Adam and Eve had great intelligence and understanding of Divine things so they were aware, everybody else is aware that God rewards the good and punishes the wicked, that was enough

Answer 8

What makes you think they weren't told??? Because it doesn't say "and God told Moses, break my commandments and you will burn in hell"???

There was no reason to mention it before Daniel...

Answer 9

The concept of eternal torment and an immortal soul have nothing to do with the bible. They are pagan beliefs adopted by the Church of Rome at the time of Constantine. Modern Christianity has taken a parable and a couple of texts from the new testament and attempted to twist them to support this false doctrine. Somehow they completely ignore literally hundreds of texts throughout the bible that refute this belief.

edit: iron handed faith, an idiot? That's very Christian of you my friend. So based on the text posted directly above me, when it says the soul that sins will die, what it really means is that the soul that sins will live eternally in torment. That's quite a grasp of the English language you have there.

edit2 iron handed faith, Judaism is the basis of Christianity and has no such doctrine. The doctrine of eternal torment was adopted by the Christian church after the time of the apostles.

Answer 10

I was well within my Christian life when I realized that I have adopted a complete ideology concerning Hell, but really didn't research the topic independently. There has been a lot of crap on the internet about it, typically coming from the world's supply of born experts:

The Atheists.

Instead of believing their rich knowledge I decided to break the mold and try learning it from someone who actually was schooled in Hebrew, W.E. Vine's Expository Dictionary which has been edited by Merrill F. Unger, Th. M. , Th. D. , Ph. D.
and William White, Jr. , Th. M. , Ph. D.

I encourage all serious Christians to read this so that they do not have to wonder anymore about the topic of Hell.

from Vine's Expository Dictionary
Sheol
(Strong's 7585)

The 65 occurances of this word are distributed throughout every period of biblical Hebrew.

First, the word means a state of death: "For in death there is no rememberance of thee: in the grave, who shall give thee thanks?" (Psalm 6:5; cf. 18:5). It is the final resting place of all men: "They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave (Job 21:13). Hanna confessed that it was the omnipotent God who brings men to sheol (death) or kills them (1Samuel 2:6). "Sheol" is parallel to Hebrew words for "pit" or "hell" (Job 26:6). "corruption" or "decay" (Psalm 16:10), and "destruction" (Proverbs 15:11).

Second, "Sheol" is used of a place of conscious existence after death. In the first biblical appearance of the word Jacob said that he would "go down into the grave unto my son mourning" (Genesis 37:35). All men go to "Sheol" --- a place and state of consciousness after death (Psalm 16:10). The wicked recieve punishment there (Numbers 16:30); Deuteronomy 32:22; Psalm 9:17). They are put to shame and silenced in "Sheol" (Psalm 31:17). Jesus alluded to Isaiah's use of sheol (14:13-15) in pronouncing judgement on Capernaum (Matthew 11:23), translating:Sheol" as "Hades" or "Hell," meaning the place of conscious existence and judgement. It is an undesirable place for the wicked (Job 24:19) and a refuge for the righteous (Job 14:13). Thus "Sheol" is also a place of reward for the righteous (Hosea 13:14; cf. 1 Corinthians 15:55). Jesus' teaching in Luke 16:19-31 seems to reflect accurately the Old Testament concept of Sheol, it is a place of conscious existence after death, one side of which is occupied by the suffering. unrighteous dead separated by a great chasm from the other side peopled by the righteous dead enjoying their reward.
