Please tell me the first passage the author misuses.

The article was on "Jesus' Teaching on Hell". The first twenty pages are devoted to saying the Old Testament never teaches about hell but rather "national punishment". Then the author goes on throughout the article to poo-poo some of the passages which DOES talk about Sheol (Hell).

When the article finally arrives to what Jesus taught, albeit briefly. The author tries very hard to negate or water down "the twelve sayings" on the matter by Christ-as if the author has some special insight to very plain teachings on the matter. Can anyone say "genostic"? Somehow the author seems to be saying that Jesus was teaching there is no hell but that this was all about judgment on a nation. Of course he doesn't seem to want to devout any time to a study of other passages such as the rich man and Lazarus.

I also find it remarkable that by page 28 the author is contrasting and comparing Jesus' teaching to that of Homer, Josephus, and the likes; as if he feels these are equally inspired teaching on par with that of Christ. It is no wonder the author is confused if he cannot understand God's wisdom verses man.

What is astonishing in all this "Catholic" tripe is the author appears to have forgotten ONE very important reference on the matter. A reference that I would think any Catholic should know-that of Peter. Peter is very clear as to what happens to the ungodly when he stated:

It is astonishing and remarkable that the author could ignore such a text, given that Peter was suppose to be the first pope.

It is very clear what Peter is talking about as well as what our Lord Jesus is talking about. The article you posted is nothing more than false teaching.
