Please do not add or change content, as you did to Abaddon, without verifying it by citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Misplaced Pages:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Traditionally, Sheol was the realm of all the dead (even Abraham), while Gehenna was where the unrighteous were destroyed (possibly on the day of judgement).

Regarding some of your recent edits
The sites amaraka.tv and perdurabo10.tripod.com completely fail WP:RS, because they're both user-generated and so lack professional editorial oversight. Amaraka.tv also cites Misplaced Pages, which results in circular sourcing, which is really no sourcing at all.
- Here and here you plagiarized the source cited. That is theft of another author's words. Continued plagiarism will result in a block, because it causes Misplaced Pages to violate copyright law and is just plain immoral (it is stealing another author's words and nothing better). Paraphrase, do not just copy.
- This edit is original research, which we do not use. The source you cite only demonstrates that that translation uses the word "breeches," it does not demonstrate that the translation is famously known for that choice of words, or that the translation is colloquially called the Breeches Bible.
- This edit is unsourced commentary, which is considered both a violation of WP:No original research (for making unsourced claims beyond what the source actually says) and WP:NPOV (for trying to argue against or mute the source).
- This edit almost seems to have not even read the article. In the section "Deus deceptor", you changed:
- "Among the accusations of blasphemy made against Descartes by Protestants was that he was positing an omnipotent malevolent God."
- to
- "Among the accusations of blasphemy made against Descartes by Protestants was that he was positing an omnipotent evil demon."
- The problem there Deus translates to "God," and never "demon." For Descartes to have suggested an omnipotent evil demon would have been regarded as heresy, his ideas would have had to have been specifically misinterpreted as referring to an evil God to be blasphemy. Also related is this edit, which doesn't seem to understand that "Deus desceptor" is a subsection of the Evil demon article. It is not only redundant, but it is splitting hairs by looking at one hair and pretending to see two.
- A lot of your edits also alter quotes. While one is supposed to paraphrase new material, one does not alter properly attributed quotations unless they completely paraphrase them so they are no longer quotations (and even that might be a bad idea, since the quote is probably a quote and not a paraphrase for a reason).
In the future, stick to published academic sources (Google books is a good place to find them, just make sure they're not from pay-to-print publishers), and paraphrase them without addition, elaboration, or interpretation. Ian.thomson (talk) 20:05, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Plagiarism, fringe problems, and badhand IP editing by Bozo33. Thank you. Ian.thomson (talk) 21:03, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize pages by deliberately introducing incorrect information, as you did at Sariel, you may be blocked from editing. The sources you cited clearly fail WP:FRINGE and WP:RS. Do not cite them again. Ian.thomson (talk) 10:17, 30 November 2014 (UTC)
