This episode of The Spanish Bible Podcast examines the issue of hell in the Spanish Bible, with particular attention to the Reina-Valera 1960.
The King James Bible uses the word hell in both the Old and New Testaments. In the Old Testament, the word is translated from the Hebrew Sheol, while several Greek words are translated as hell in the New Testament, including Hades.
But what happened to the word hell in the Spanish Bible?
In this episode, we look at the change made in the Reina-Valera 1960, where the translators removed infierno from the Old Testament and instead used the transliteration Seol for the Hebrew word Sheol. We also examine the New Testament, where Hades was used in places where the earlier Reina-Valera had translated the word as infierno.
Luke 16:23 receives particular attention because it is one of the clearest passages describing a man suffering in hell.
The episode also compares this approach with modern English Bible versions and discusses the claim that these changes affect the clarity of biblical doctrine.
Finally, the episode introduces the Reina-Valera Gómez as a Spanish Bible that retains the word infierno rather than replacing these occurrences with the transliterations Seol and Hades.

Doctrine of the Holy Bible
#
Introduction
Last week we noted that the church is responsible for doctrinal purity.
1 Timothy 3:15 — But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
We noted in 1 Timothy 4, there is 1. Bad Doctrine, 2. Good Doctrine, Then we must 3. Attend to doctrine (take responsibility to teach) and 4. Continue in Doctrine, not change, not be swayed.

Importance of Doctrine
#
1 Tim 3:14-1Tim 4:15
Introduction
I’m planning on in this series, covering the doctrine of the church. There are the things we believe, and stick to.
The word ‘doctrine’ used more frequently in this chapter than any other chapter in the Bible. It is a topic which shows the importance of Doctrine.
By way of introduction, These last few verses of chapter 3 really help set the stage that is about to be filled with doctrine. We notice he has written so the behavior in the church is to take place. He has covered the qualifications of the people to hold the office of Pastor (1Tim3.1) and Deacon (1Tim3.8), he is about to cover what should be taught in the church.
• Vs 15 – “the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.”
◦ The church is responsible for guarding, and maintaining truth!
◦ That is why there are many different churches, they don’t all have the same droctine
◦ That is why labels are important… what doctrine do they teach? –
▪ Church of God, I can tell you some of the differences of doctrine. Presbyterian, Lutheran, etc… it isn’t hard to find and know.
▪ Baptist, we know what they believe. (Difference between Independent, Southern, American).
▪ When you start to have churches pop up today, Faith Family, Rivertree, and all these churches who call them selves non-denominational have no idea what they believe… and I don’t think some of them know what they believe.
▪ Christian is an ambiguous label. – It literally doesn’t mean anything these days.
