“Mo baitsefilosofing botlhe ba ba itsegeng thata ba Bagerika, Plato ke ene yo o neng a tlhotlheletsa thata thuto ya dihele.”—Histoire des enfers (Hisitori ya Dihele) e e kwadilweng ke Georges Minois, tsebe 50.

“Go simolola mo bogareng jwa lekgolo la bobedi la dingwaga AD, Bakeresete ba ba neng ba rutilwe filosofi ya Segerika ba ne ba simolola go tlhalosa tumelo ya bone ka tsela e baitsefilosofi bano ba neng ba leba dilo ka yone . . . Dithuto tsa filosofi tse ba neng ba di rata e ne e le tsa ga Plato.”—The New Encyclopædia Britannica (1988), Bolumo 25, tsebe 890.

“Dithuto tsa Kereke di tlhomamisa gore dihele di teng le gore di tla tswelela di le gone. Di ruta gore fa batho ba ba dirileng maleo a a masisi ba sena go swa, meya ya bone e tlhokofadiwa kwa diheleng, tse go tweng ke ‘molelo o o tukang ka bosakhutleng.’ Go atlholelwa go ya diheleng go bontsha gore motho o kgaogantswe le Modimo ka bosakhutleng.”—Catechism of the Catholic Church ya 1994, tsebe 270.

‘Gonne batshedi ba a itse gore ba tla swa, mme baswi bone ga ba itse sepe, gonne ga go na tiro le fa e le go loga maano le fa e le kitso le fa e le botlhale kwa Sheole, lefelo le o yang kwa go lone.’—Moreri 9:5, 10.

Lefoko la Sehebera e leng Sheole le le kayang “lefelo la baswi,” le ranotswe e le “dihele” mo dithanolong dingwe tsa Baebele. Temana eno e senola eng ka boemo jwa baswi? A ba duelela maleo a bone ka gore ba tlhokofadiwe kwa Sheole? Nnyaa, ka gonne ga ba “itse sepe.” Ke gone ka moo tlhogo ya lotso e bong Jobe a neng a kopa Modimo jaana fa a ne a boga ka ntlha ya bolwetse jo bo botlhoko: “Ntshireletse mo diheleng [ka Sehebera, Sheole].” (Jobe 14:13; Douay-Rheims Version) A o ne a ka kopa Modimo gore a mo sireletse fa e ne e le gore Sheole ke lefelo la go tlhokofadiwa ka bosakhutleng? Go ya ka Baebele dihele ke lebitla le le tlwaelegileng la batho, kwa go seng tiro epe e motho a ka e dirang.

A ga o utlwe tlhaloso eno e utlwala e bile e dumalana le temana eno ya Baebele? Ke bosula bofe le fa bo ka nna maswe jang jo bo ka dirang gore Modimo yo o lorato a tlhokofatse motho ka bosakhutleng? (1 Johane 4:8) Fa e le gore molelo wa dihele ke thuto ya maaka, a go ya legodimong le gone ke thuto ya maaka?
