I do not use the King James Version of the Bible much because it is the most inaccurate translation. It was written to be easy to read and poetic. Woberto, the use of hell in the passages I listed refers to the place of the damned not just the dead. Don't mix Greek mythology and Christianity it doesn't work.

As far as the Bible being the word of God, it is. There are other holy writings out there that did not make it into the Bible for many different reasons. Another thing, there are differences in the Bible between the different main stream religions. Some add or remove different books and passages. Are they wrong? I don't know. I just know the main theme of the Bible is Gods love for our failing race and the forgiveness he offers us thought the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savor.

As for MrKim, be warned he is out for an augment not the truth. I have in he past tried to show him the truth, but he is not interested in it. All he wants to do is fight. I am not interested in fighting with him.

Seek good and you will find good.
Seek evil and you will find evil.
Seek nothing and you will find nothing.
