I'm not trying to get anyone to follow Jewish rules. I'm just saying there are conceptual things in the Bible that can only be understood properly by digging into Hebrew. Sheol and hades are two examples. Hades is simply a Greek replacement for sheol that should be understood as that. So instead of digging into Greek mythology concerning hades, we're supposed to try to figure out what Jews believed about sheol.
