For other uses, see Chaos (disambiguation).
.Chaos (derived from the Ancient Greek Χάος, Chaos) typically means a state lacking order or predictability.^ Our English word hell is derived from an Anglo-Saxon word "hillan" or "helan," meaning a cavern, anciently denoting a concealed or UNSEEN place.

 .In ancient Greece, it first meant the initial state of the universe, and, by extension, space, darkness, or an abyss[1] (the antithetical concept was cosmos), but later uses of the term by philosophers varied over time.^ But if, for the sake of illustration, we choose to use the term "chance," before we speak of a "second chance," we must make sure that those whom we have consigned to eternal damnation have had a "first chance".

 ^ James condemned misuse of the tongue, specifically in terms Jesus used the first time he used the word in Mt.

Chaos in mythology, philosophy, literature, and religion

Cosmogonies and early philosophy

Main article: Chaos (cosmogony)
Hesiod and the Muse, by Gustave Moreau
In Greek mythical cosmogony, particularly in the Theogony (Origin of the Gods) of Hesiod (8th–7th century BC), Chaos is the original dark void from which everything else appeared. First came Gaia (Earth) and Eros (Love), then Erebus and his sister Nyx (Night). These siblings produced children together which included Aether, Hemera (Day), and Nemesis.[3] Other cosmogonies, such as the lost Heptamychos of Pherecydes of Syros, also have the gods being born from Chaos, but in a different way.
Hesiod's cosmogony may have influenced the 6th century BC philosopher Anaximander,[4] although this is debated.[5] Anaximander taught that that the indefinite or apeiron was the source of all things.[6] Some ideas similar to those of Hesiod also appear in the Hiranyagarbha of Vedic cosmogony, and in the Babylonian Enûma Eliš.[7] The book of Genesis in the Bible refers to the earliest conditions of the Earth as "without form, and void",[8] while Ovid's Metamorphoses describes the initial state of the Universe as a disorganised mixture of the four elements:
Rather a rude and indigested mass:
A lifeless lump, unfashion'd, and unfram'd,
Of jarring seeds; and justly Chaos nam'd.
.No sun was lighted up, the world to view;
No moon did yet her blunted horns renew:
Nor yet was Earth suspended in the sky,
Nor pois'd, did on her own foundations lye:
Nor seas about the shores their arms had thrown;
But earth, and air, and water, were in one.^ Dives is dwelling in a world of fire in the company of lost spirits, hardened by the depravity that must possess the residents of that world, and yet yearning in compassion for those on earth.
  • The Bible Hell 17 January 2010 18:59 UTC www.tentmaker.org [Source type: Original source]

 ^ It was as tho' in crimson and in gold The splendor of a thousand suns had rolled Their mingled glory in one matchless beam, And lit up Death Shade with the lustrous gleam.

 ^ One hundred seventy-five years ago, the world was in chaos because "The Scourge of the Earth" (we know him as Napoleon Bonaparte) almost conquered the world.
Thus air was void of light, and earth unstable,
And water's dark abyss unnavigable.[9]

Plato, Aristotle, and later philosophy

Plato expresses a similar idea to Ovid in his Timaeus, where he says:
.As I said at first, when all things were in disorder God created in each thing in relation to itself, and in all things in relation to each other, all the measures and harmonies which they could possibly receive.^ In ages beyond that God shall deal with the residue of men and all the reaches of His vast creation.

 ^ So that while the Old Testament talks of ten thousand things of small importance, it has not a syllable nor a whisper of what ought to have been told first of all and most of all and continually.
  • The Bible Hell 17 January 2010 18:59 UTC www.tentmaker.org [Source type: Original source]

 ^ The fact that they remained there so long indicates that they were very bad, for I cannot doubt that the God of mercy was all the time in some way pleading with them to repent.

 .For in those days nothing had any proportion except by accident; nor did any of the things which now have names deserve to be named at all — as, for example, fire, water, and the rest of the elements.^ Actually, since Gehenna was a proper name of a valley, it would have been called Gehenna whether or not any idolatry, burning, or dumping of garbage had ever occurred there, and it did, as we now see.
  • Jesus' Teaching on Hell by Samuel G. Dawson 17 January 2010 18:59 UTC gospelthemes.com [Source type: Original source]

 ^ Seneca says: "Those things which make the infernal regions terrible, the darkness, the prison, the river of flaming fire, the judgment seat, &c., are all a fable, with which the poets amuse themselves, and by them agitate us with vain terrors."
  • Jesus' Teaching on Hell by Samuel G. Dawson 17 January 2010 18:59 UTC gospelthemes.com [Source type: Original source]

 ^ Now as nothing resembling this parable is found in the Old Testament where did the Jews obtain it, if not from the heathen?
  • The Bible Hell 17 January 2010 18:59 UTC www.tentmaker.org [Source type: Original source]

 .All these the creator first set in order, and out of them he constructed the universe.^ For these Sons who shall bring the deliverance all creation travails!

 ^ At the time these declarations were made, and universally accepted by the Hebrews, the surrounding nations all held entirely different doctrines.
  • The Bible Hell 17 January 2010 18:59 UTC www.tentmaker.org [Source type: Original source]

 [10]
.Plato acknowledges a debt to Hesiod in this dialogue, but Hesiod's concept of Chaos has been altered somewhat here,[11] and begins to approach the informal sense of chaos as disorder, both within the constituents of matter, as well in their random distribution.^ In the second century Clemens Alexandrinus says: "Does not Plato acknowledge both the rivers of fire, and that profound depth of the earth which the barbarians call Gehenna?
  • The Bible Hell 17 January 2010 18:59 UTC www.tentmaker.org [Source type: Original source]

 [12]
For Aristotle, chaos simply referred to empty space.[13] Thomas Aquinas, in his Summa Theologica, takes chaos to mean "confusion,"[14] and discusses whether primordial chaos is compatible with Christian theology.

Scientific and mathematical chaos

Main article: Chaos theory
Chaotic systems display sensitivity to initial conditions: tiny initial differences can result, over time, in completely different results.
Mathematically, chaos refers to a very specific kind of unpredictability: deterministic behaviour that is very sensitive to its initial conditions.[15] In other words, infinitesimal variations in initial conditions for a chaotic dynamic system lead to large variations in behaviour.
Chaotic systems consequently appear disordered and random. .However, they are actually deterministic systems governed by physical or mathematical laws, and so are completely predictable given perfect knowledge of the initial conditions.^ They were in danger, however, of apostasy which would bring them again into the same condition in which they would lose their natural lives and suffer moral death besides.
  • The Bible Hell 17 January 2010 18:59 UTC www.tentmaker.org [Source type: Original source]

 .In other words, a chaotic system will always exhibit the same behaviour when seeded with the same initial conditions - there is no inherent randomness in this regard.^ By supposing the term Hell to denote a condition now in the present life, there is no absurdity involved.
  • The Bible Hell 17 January 2010 18:59 UTC www.tentmaker.org [Source type: Original source]

 ^ A shameful death or severe punishment in this life was at the time of Christ denominated Gehenna (Schleusner, Canon Farrar and others), and there is no evidence that Gehenna meant anything else at the time of Christ.
  • The Bible Hell 17 January 2010 18:59 UTC www.tentmaker.org [Source type: Original source]

 ^ But no such force resides in the word, nor is there a scintilla of evidence that it ever conveyed such an idea until many years after Christ.
  • The Bible Hell 17 January 2010 18:59 UTC www.tentmaker.org [Source type: Original source]

 [16] However, such perfect knowledge is never attainable in real life; slight errors are intrinsic to any physical measurement. In a chaotic system, these slight errors will give rise to results which differ wildly from the correct result. .A commonly used example is weather forecasting, which is only possible up to about a week ahead,[17] despite theoretically being perfectly possible at any level (ignoring the effects of the uncertainty principle).^ But the torment, the anguish, the woe and agony are only faintly hinted by any possible effect of literal fire.
  • The Bible Hell 17 January 2010 18:59 UTC www.tentmaker.org [Source type: Original source]

 ^ And this ever living One HAS THE KEYS. We commonly think of keys being used to lock or unlock doors, but there is another sense in which the word key is used.
Edward Lorenz and Henri Poincaré were early pioneers of chaos theory, and James Gleick's 1987 book Chaos: Making a New Science helped to popularize the field.
.A number of philosophers have used the existence of chaos in this sense in the "chaos argument" about free will.^ Thus, when Jesus used the term He used it in the same sense that Jeremiah did: as Jerusalem then was abandoned to Babylon's invasion, so Jerusalem of Jesus' day was about to be abandoned to Roman invasion-unless they repented.
  • Jesus' Teaching on Hell by Samuel G. Dawson 17 January 2010 18:59 UTC gospelthemes.com [Source type: Original source]
More recently, computer scientist Christopher Langton in 1990 coined the phrase "edge of chaos" to refer to the behaviour of certain classes of cellular automata.[18] .The phrase has since come to refer to a metaphor that some physical, biological, economic, and social systems operate in a region where complexity is maximal, balanced between order, on the one hand, and randomness or chaos, on the other.^ The doctrine of eternal punishment is based on a literal interpretation of some of the metaphors of Scripture, to the complete neglect of many other Scriptures.

Simple English

Chaos is when something unpredictable, or random happens. It is from the Indo-European root "ghen" which means "to be wide open" or in other words, a very large space. Because early Christians did not understand how to use the word "chaos" properly, the word's meaning changed to "disorder" or random and not normal. It is the opposite of "law and order".
