Nsu 2: Ẹsitụhọde Ndiọi Owo ke Hell

Nsu emi ọkọtọn̄ọ didie? “Ke otu kpukpru mme ọwọrọetop mbon akwaifiọk Greece, Plato edi akpan owo emi akanamde mme owo ẹnịm ke Hell odu.”—Histoire des enfers (Nte Hell Ọkọtọn̄ọde), emi Georges Minois ewetde, page 50.

“Ọtọn̄ọde ke n̄kpọ nte isua 1,850 emi ẹkebede, mme Christian emi ẹkebọde ukpep akwaifiọk Greece ẹma ẹtọn̄ọ ndikere ke akpana ida akwaifiọk emi ikpep ukpepn̄kpọ mmimọ . . . Ukpepn̄kpọ akwaifiọk oro mmọ ẹkemade ẹkan ekedi [ukpepn̄kpọ Plato].”—The New Encyclopædia Britannica (1988), Eboho 25, page 890.

“Se Ufọkabasi ekpepde owụt ke hell mmọdo ye nte ke enye edidu ke nsinsi. Ndondo oro mbon oro ẹnamde idiọkn̄kpọ n̄kpa ẹkpade, ukpọn̄ mmọ osụhọde ke hell, mmọ ẹbọ ndutụhọ hell, kpa ‘nsinsi ikan̄.’ Akpan ndutụhọ hell edi ndidian̄ade owo n̄kpọn̄ Abasi ke nsinsi.”—Catechism of the Catholic Church, nsiondi eke 1994, page 270.

Bible ọdọhọ didie? “Koro mme odu-uwem ẹfiọkde ẹte ke mmimọ inyene ndikpa: edi ama edi mme akpa-n̄kpa, mmọ ifiọkke baba n̄kpọ kiet: . . . koro baba edinam, baba uduak, baba ifiọk, baba mbufiọk mîdụhe ke obio ekpo emi afo akade do.”—Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10.

Ikọ Hebrew oro ẹkabarede “obio ekpo” do edi Sheol, ndien ndusụk Bible ẹkabarede enye “hell.” Nso ke itien̄wed emi etịn̄ aban̄a mme akpan̄kpa? Ndi mmọ ke ẹbọ ndutụhọ ke Sheol man ẹkpe utịp idiọkn̄kpọ mmọ? Baba, koro mmọ “ifiọkke baba n̄kpọ kiet.” Ntak edi oro ke ini Job ọkọdọn̄ọde n̄kpa n̄kpa, enye ama ekpe Abasi ubọk ete ‘edịp imọ ke obio ekpo [Hebrew, Sheol].’ (Job 14:13) Nso ke ikọ esie ọkpọkọwọrọ edieke Sheol ekpedide ebiet nsinsi ndutụhọ? Ke Bible, hell edi udi ubonowo, emi owo mîkemeke ndinam n̄kpọ ndomokiet do.

Ndi se ẹtịn̄de ẹban̄a hell mi isịneke ifiọk inyụn̄ ikem ye se N̄wed Abasi etịn̄de? Nso idiọkn̄kpọ ke owo akpanam, ọkpọkọm ọdiọk didie, emi ekpesịnde Abasi ima otụhọde owo ke nsinsi? (1 John 4:8) Edi edieke ikan̄ hell edide nsu, nso kaban̄a heaven?

Men mme ufan̄ikọ Bible emi domo: Psalm 146:3, 4; Utom 2:25-27; Rome 6:7, 23
