I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Just sharing my opinion only, an Idiom into idiot or Idiot to Idiom, and the word "Hades from Greek language, and Sheol from Hebrew, but there is another word: "Gehenna" to putting a fire in that garbage to exterminate all the dirtiest and same thing a dead bodies into the world of Hell,but some say is grave and some cemeteries... just curious if someone to expand that definition. *Bones*
The Bible is not very explicit on these points, but one might look into related terms in neighboring cultures.
