Orcus— The Grave:
A few weeks ago, I finished standardising the afterlife terminology in the KJNV; the first 4 of which are the same thing, as Hades is what Koine/ Septuagint uses to reference Sheol.
—SOURCE / KJV / KJNV sheol / hell / infernus sheol / grave / inferi sheol / pit / infera hades (NT) / hell / orcus gehenna / hell / gehenna tartarus / hell / tartarus abyssos / deep / abyssus limnen pyros / lake of fire / stagnum ignisAbout translation choices:
All are literal translations or established loanwords; except sheol, which is split into 3 forms of the inferi family for the OT (normal for Vulgate) and orcus for the NT (better Greek conformity). I preserved the KJV's semantic sense separation of sheol without using different words like other editions often do, each word used literally means underworld but with a different focus. I also preserved Greek's use of Hades and rendered it Orcus: a Latin full semantic equivalent. To be clear it's not a place separate to sheol (half the uses are OT quotes). I felt it was important to preserve Greek Hades instead of rendering as sheol/infernus as the Koine uses the Greek mythological Tartarus which isn't coherent without Hades.About KJV and Hell:
Despite common thought, the KJV is consistent on Hell terminology, exception Gehenna and Tartarus but they understood it to be the same place. Gehenna is a term for the Valley of Himmon where the dead were dumped off cliffs into pits: the abyss. Tartarus is place within Greek mythological Hades, specifically the worst place (as opposed to Elysium and Asphodel, are these referenced with Abraham's Bosom?). Hell itself is also an accurate Sheol translation if you don't conflate it with imagery of Dante's Inferno.Thoughts:
Reading all these verses freshly/ in isolation of it's full usage, it clearly describes a place where all the dead go generally; a conceptualisation of death and/or repository of the immaterial essence of those passed: the Grave. Whether it is describing a concept of a literal place, or dying, being deposed of into pits, graves, burials, and being absorbed beneath the earth under soil; it's clear the souls of Adam were held somewhere in wait of the Harrowing of Hell by Jesus. Salvation is being plucked from this and saved. I'd like to believe fauna and flora have some kind of immaterial aspect (bio-spirit) and be dumped/ preserved in this repository, but I think that's just empathetic wishful thinking, and biblically they are likely simply blackscreened.What scripture says:
Adam received a soul [Gen 2:7] however the wording used (living soul / breath) is the same as what is used for fauna [Gen 1:20,24] but we should be cautious about being overly strict on poetic language, as this described what they associated with life/ lifeforce: breathing, which you first do when born and cease to do in death. Note: While flora is not mentioned, what is said for fauna would also be apply to flora, as they're both organisms with a common evolutionary origin; and that breathing is not a prerequisite for life, it's merely a poetic association. While the terminology parallels, they are handled and directed uniquely. Both Adamic and animalia life are reduced to dust [Ecc 3:19-20] a clear euphemism for death and decay; however it further separates their direction: Adamic up, animalia beneath the soil [Ecc 3:21]; which at first glance would appear to support the emphatic bio-spirit repository until later which uniquely make a distinction within Adam: his life reduced to dust beneath the soil, and his spirit raised towards God [Ecc 12:7]. It is clear it discusses a universal biological death, but a unique Adamic Salvation of soul. Heaven as a place, and death as a part of life; but not until Christ's Harrowing of Hell is it explicit that Hell is a place with souls [1 Pet 3:18-20. 4:6]. Belief in Christ saves us from death and Hell [Eph 2:8] and resurrects our bodies [Resurrection of the Body] to unite with our souls in Heaven to be whole with God. We could say and cite much more, but character limits.Christ conquered death.

RP Classics: “F.A.Q. Frequently asked questions.
Is 1 Enoch canon? Are the Dead Sea Scrolls authentic?
No, it's spurious and fake. The Book of Enoch was allegedly discovered by Freemason and traveler James Bruce who returned to Europe with copies from Ethiopia in 1773. These copies were not translated into English until 1821 at Oxford University. There are no counterparts anywhere expect for Dead Sea Scroll fragments; which the Dead Sea Scrolls have all been proven to be Israeli forgeries made in 1947-8, just after the founding of the Israeli state. No Ethopian Geez 1 Enoch was discovered, it was a fabrication.
How does Christian Aryanism differ from Christian Identity?
No. Christian Identity: ——reject the Trinity, are Unitarians; ——reject evolution; ——reject aged earth; ——reject Christmas, believe it to be a Roman pagan holiday (don't celebrate it); ——reject the 25th Dec as the date of Jesus' birth; ——reject Jesus' given name for Yahshua; ——reject Sunday Sabbath…”
