Christ has the keys to death hell and the grave.. while it is true he does in fact he has all power.. but the sentence keys to death hell and the grave is not scripture. so why do we hear this?
Dear forgiven61but the sentence keys to death hell and the grave is not scripture. so why do we hear this?
Hades, Sheol, Hell, Grave and death are all the same thing. The Greek and Hebrew words speak of the same place, the present Hell, a place where the unsaved spirits are located.Dear forgiven61
This is a good question.
I remember recently seeing something in Major’s Revelation teachings and thought perhaps this idea of Christ having the keys to Hell and the grave could spring from Revelation.
Revelation 1:17-18 NAS
17 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, "Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last,
18 and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.
Others may have better ideas.
God be with you.
sooo once again the question was asked last night as to why use the phrase death, hell and the grave is used in a sentence while it does hold truth. its not in scriptureHades, Sheol, Hell, Grave and death are all the same thing. The Greek and Hebrew words speak of the same place, the present Hell, a place where the unsaved spirits are located.
F61 is correct in that The only one who has control and the authority over those there, is the Lord Jesus Christ. "KEYS" = authority.

i agree and yes i have heard some of this.. the words (innocently without malaise) sums it up and i will take this back to the study study friday night maybe even sunday morning .on a side night everyone who is in the funeral home goes to heaven !!!! amazing how that worksI do not know my friend. My 1st thought is that it is like many other things. We (People) add to the Word of God so as to make it more acceptable in our understanding.
Many things are said by men that are claimed to be in the Bible but are not. But when repeated enough, we tend to take them as truth when they are not.
Some examples are..........."God wont give you more than you can handle"!
That is not in the Bible but we have all heard it said over and over.
Here is one we all know........"God helps those who help themselves".
That also is not in the Bible. The truth is, the Bible teaches the opposite. God helps the helpless.
When we were growing up, how many times did we hear, the Bible says that "Cleanliness is next to Godliness"?????
That phrase does not exist in the Bible. It is an archaic proverb found in the Babylonian Talmud.
And havent we all heard it said at a funeral that ....."God need another angel in heaven".
Again.......that is nowhere in the Bible.
Just examples of things we say innocently without malaise just because we have heard them said and they sound good.

1/ Tartarus is only used once in the new testament in 2Peter.2:4 "God spared not the angles that sinned, but cast them down to [Tartarus] hell & delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment” Tartarus means dark abyss or place of restrain. It isn’t a place of punishment eternal punishment either. If you care to look carefully the Angles are reserved unto judgment, which means punishment is yet future when judgment takes place. this is where the catholic purgatory comes from? this is strictly a doctrine straight from Roman Catholicism, which has not been purged out of all the churches.Hades, Sheol, Hell, Grave and death are all the same thing. The Greek and Hebrew words speak of the same place, the present Hell, a place where the unsaved spirits are located.
