The Scriptural definition of death, and exactly what happens to a person at death according to plain statements in the Bible (it's not what most Christians think)
How leftover influences from paganism, inherited as traditions by Christianity from Catholicism, cause great confusion regarding "the afterlife" and God's plan for humanity
Why tradition-based blatant mistranslations of just a few key Greek and Hebrew words make it impossible to discover God's plan for mankind by reading most English Bibles

How each age in human history revealed in the BIble is a stage in God's plan for humanity
An easy-to-understand outline of the 5 ages of human history God has planned and His purpose for each
God's two specific purposes for the age we are in now (it's not what most Christians think)
The logical reason why God is allowing so much pain and suffering in this age, and why this age is the most difficult of the 5 ages
Exactly what will happen to unbelievers, and when, and exactly what will happen to believers, and when, in God's grand plan
Why most Christians erroneously think God's goal is to get us to heaven, when His ultimate goal is to bring heaven to earth
Why Christians will only be in heaven for a short time after the rapture before they return to earth to reign with Christ
Why even the next age, the millennium, when Christ rules over the whole earth, is not the consummation of God's plan, but just another (albeit more pleasant) stage in mankind's education
How God will reach His ultimate goal for humanity, revealed in plain statements of Scripture that are largely ignored by Christians (who don't know what to make of them)
Over a dozen plain statements of Scripture that cannot possibly be true if what many Christians believe about life after death is true
What will happen at the white throne judgment and why its focus and purpose is different than what most Christians assume
Why the fire in Gehenna (a location in Jerusalem) referred to by Jesus will be a physical fire that will burn physical bodies, as proven by the Old Testament prophecy Jesus was quoting
Why the lake of fire will cause physical death to humans in physical bodies (not afterlife torment) - proven Scripturally and logically
Why what will happen to Satan, the antichrist and the false prophet (who are not human or fully human) in the lake of fire will be very different than what will happen to human beings thrown there, and how Scripture makes this difference exceedingly clear
How both "fire events" people are so afraid of (the fire in the Valley of Gehenna in Jerusalem, and the lake or "pond" of fire) will be physical fires on earth that will cause physical death to humans in physical bodies (or, simply disposal/destruction of the bodies)
How Christians will be in immortal bodies by the time the two fire-events spoken of in Scripture occur
Why "the kingdom of God" is not what most Christians think it is
Why Jesus' main message to Israel was about the next age of life on earth, not heaven; and why He preached that the kingdom might come in that generation even though He knew Israel would fail to meet the conditions to see it happen
Why Jesus chose a setting straight from the pages of the Pharisees' pagan Talmud for the parable of Lazarus and the rich man to make a point about the next age of life on earth
Why every Israelite who heard Jesus tell the parable of Lazarus and the rich man 2,000 years ago would have understood He was mocking pagan ideas about the afterlife, not teaching those ideas

Why no nations have been or will be discipled in this age, and why God made sure the 12 disciples' "great commission" failed
Why Jesus kept Israel and His 12 disciples in the dark about God's overall plan, giving them a limited message (Acts 1:6-7), and only revealed God's ultimate plan to Paul later
Why the Christian's true commission in this age was outlined by Paul, not Jesus - and why this true commission has met with great success while the 12 disciples' commission failed almost as soon as it started (...and why Jesus gave the 12 this commission even though He knew it would fail!)

Quotes from Hell Is a Mistranslation
"Do you know what the Hebrew words 'olam' and 'sheol'
and the Greek words 'eon', 'Gehenna', 'hades', and 'tartarusing' mean?
Inconsistent and inaccurate translating of these words combined with
paganism inherited from the Catholic church has created massive
confusion in the minds of most Christians concerning who God is,
why He created humanity, and His grand plan for mankind."
- Marc Speed, from Hell Is a Mistranslation
"Have you ever wondered,
'Why would God create billions of people knowing beforehand that
most of them would end up burning and screaming in agony forever?'
Or,
'How can God take a nice Chinese guy who sinned like the rest of us
but spent his life providing for his family through great hardship,
and never had the chance to hear the gospel,
and give that man the same punishment as Hitler -
eternal punishment in hell?'
'How can God justify sending someone to hell who has never heard
the gospel, or who lived before Jesus died on the cross?'
(Remember, the Bible says nature is enough of a testimony to realize that
God exists, but to be saved you must hear and believe the gospel.)
Or,
'Why would dead Christians need to be raptured if they are already in heaven?'
This book will answer all these and many other confusing questions
about God and the Bible (like the classic predestination dilemma)
with astounding simplicity and beauty. As you read it you will realize
that God has always had a good plan for mankind, and that His plan
makes perfect sense to the heart and mind of any thinking person."
- Marc Speed, from Hell Is a Mistranslation
"If you only spoke ancient Hebrew and Greek (the languages
in which the Bible was written), and you read through the Bible
100 times in Hebrew and Greek, you would have no idea what 'hell' is.
That is because there is no word that means 'hell' in the Greek and Hebrew
manuscripts of the Bible.
There are three Greek words and one Hebrew word that are sometimes
mistranslated as 'hell' in English Bibles - yet I will easily prove to you
with Scripture and logic that none of those words means
anything remotely close to 'hell' as we understand it today.
Every time you see the word 'hell' in your English Bible, it is a
mistranslation due to tradition."
- Marc Speed, from Hell Is a Mistranslation
"There is no Greek or Hebrew word in the Bible that means 'endless'.
Every time you see the word 'eternal', 'everlasting', 'forever', 'forever and ever',
or 'never' in your English Bible, it is a mistranslation.
But Bible translators have a nasty habit of mistranslating the Hebrew
word 'olam' and the Greek word 'eon' as 'eternal', 'everlasting', or 'forever.
This causes massive confusion to the modern Christian.
Neither of those words means 'endless' or 'definitely endless'.
In this book I will Scripturally and logically prove to you exactly what
'olam' and 'eon' mean, and the immense ramifications for what the Bible
actually teaches about God's plan for mankind."
