Lub ntiaj teb yog tag nrho ntawm cov tswv yim tsis sib haum xeeb txog dab tsi tshwm sim ntawm peb thaum peb tuag. Ib txhia hais tias peb tsuas yog kev huam yuaj ntawm qhov tsis muaj tus kheej yav tom ntej dhau ntawm kev tuag; lwm yam uas peb yuav ua li cas mus rau ib tug tsawg corrupt, ntau 'enlightened’ nco qab; thiab lwm tus uas peb tau tsim thiab txawm tias tam sim no raug soj ntsuam thiab coj los ntawm kev txawj ntse ntau dua li peb tus kheej, leej twg thaum kawg yuav tuav peb lub luag haujlwm rau peb qhov kev ua. It is this last perspective, as presented by Jesus Christ, that is being unashamedly advanced by this book.

Cov ntaub ntawv tau npaj raws li cov hauv qab no:

Nyem qhov no kom rov qab mus rau Ntuj txiag teb tsaus los yog Ntuj Ceeb Tsheej Them, los yog ntawm ib qho ntawm cov ntsiab lus hauv qab no:

• Vajtswv hais li cas, los yog Peb Xav Li Cas?

  We need to start by admitting that our human perspectives are almost certainly heavily biased by our own self-interest; and that we’re not as smart as God. Ntawm qhov tod tes, the Bible is a record of God’s revelations and dealings with humanity; which have been recorded by men using human language and concepts. Both of these have been subject to change over time; so when citing Scripture we must be careful to consider the context in which they were originally spoken and recorded.

  But if Jesus was indeed who He claimed to be, then in any apparent conflict of opinion, his words should take precedence.

• Keeb Kwm Keeb Kwm

  Thaum xub thawj, man lived in fellowship with God; nrog kev nkag mus mus tas li mus rau 'Tsoom Ntoo ntawm Lub Neej.' Kev tuag tsis cuam tshuam. Tab sis, ntawm lees txais tus nab cov lus dag, Tsis ntev tus txiv neej pib ntsib txoj kev iab ntawm kev phem thiab qhov txaus ntshai tsis muaj peev xwm nrhiav tau dab tsi yuav tshwm sim thaum nws tuag.

  Tiamsis Vajtswv tau hais rau tus nab tias muaj ib hnub txiv neej cov xeeb ntxwv yuav 'ua rau koj taub hau, thiab koj yuav nkim nws pob taws.” Thiab, dhau ntau pua xyoo tom qab ntawd, Vajtswv maj mam nthuav qhia ntxiv txog nws lub hom phiaj kawg: tab sis ib txwm zais nws tus tswv txoj kev npaj kom kov yeej tus nab, Dab Ntxwg Nyoog. Yog li, thaum Yexus los, qee lub tswv yim twb tau tsim nyob rau hauv cov neeg Yudais xav, txawm hais tias lawv qhov tseeb tseem yog ib qho teeb meem ntawm kev sib cav.

• Lub Vocabulary ntawm Tswv Yexus

  Thaum lub sij hawm Yexus los, cov ntsiab lus hauv qab no hais txog lub neej tom qab tau raug tsim los ntawm cov neeg Yudais txoj kev xav: tab sis lawv qhov tseeb thiab txawm tias lawv muaj nyob, txuas ntxiv ua teeb meem ntawm kev sib cav loj:

  • ‘Sheol’ – Qhov Chaw Tuag.
  • ‘Abraham’s Bosom’ - qhov chaw uas cov neeg Yudais ncaj ncees tuaj yeem tos lawv txoj kev sawv hauv qhov tuag rov qab los.
  • ‘Gehenna’ - qhov chaw ntawm Divine retribution, yuav tsum ua raws li los ntawm qhov kawg ntawm kev sawv rov los, los yog
  • ‘The Second Death’ - kev puas tsuaj los yog lub xeev ntawm kev tuag tas mus li.

  Cov lus no tau siv rau hauv cov lus qhia ntawm Yexus thiab cov thwj tim; Txawm hais tias qee cov lus Askiv txhais ob qho tib si 'Sheol' thiab 'Gehenna' li 'Hell'. Tab sis Yexus qhia meej meej dua cov ntsiab lus no kom coj lawv mus rau hauv kev sib raug zoo nrog cov ntawv Henplais qub..
