Hugo: 耶和華並沒用地獄來懲罰死去的罪人

在黑暗的東亞大陸,熊貓對螢火蟲說,“教會裡有人說罪人死後會下地獄,並且會受到永火永無休止的懲罰,耶和華有這麼殘忍嗎?”

螢火蟲氣憤地說,“地獄的概念來自柏拉圖的學說,《聖經》裡並沒有地獄的概念(有些譯經者將Sheol、Hades譯成地獄是誤譯);《聖經》說,‘Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save. When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing.’(Psalm 146:3-4)、‘For the living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten.’(Ecclesiastes 9:5)、‘Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no activity or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol where you are going.’(Ecclesiastes 9:10)、‘By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.’(Genesis 3:19)、‘When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust.’(Psalms 104:29)、‘For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts; for all is vanity. All go to one place; all are from the dust, and all turn to dust again.’ (Ecclesiastes 3:19-20),你忘記了‘Jehovah is love’(1 John 4:8) 與‘Jehovah is a lover of justice’(Psalm 37:28)嗎?”
