(March 22, 2013 at 1:19 pm)John V Wrote: The Septuagint (Greek translation of the OT) was done hundreds of years before the NT was written and it substituted hades for sheol. This was not a new practice with the NT writers.

But the act of translating sheol into Hades was arbitrary, wasn't it? Do you recognise that so-called "righteous" people were said to be in sheol in the OT?
