A Hellish Mistranslation

Check this out if you thought Hell was "forever", here is a quote from tentmaker.org:

"Another pleasant change which more Bible translations of the future will make deals with the subject of the words 'everlasting,' 'eternal,' and 'for ever and ever.' These words have been used in times past to translate the Hebrew word 'olam,' and its Greek counterpart 'aion,' and its adjective, 'aionios.' These ancient words should NEVER have been translated this way. . . ."

Hebrew:
... (...)

Greek:
αἰών  (aion)
αιωνιος (aionios)



If Hell was truly-forever then God wouldn't be so infinitely-loving, now would He? 

YES! I was very glad when I first learned that Hell being "forever" was actually a mistranslation-- because that never made much sense to me and seemed too cruel to be true. . .
