What is the Lord trying to teach us in this story which seems to contradict the whole doctrine of the state of the dead? Additionally, can you also address the following verses with regard to Abel Gen 4:10 And he said, What hast thou has done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. Heb 11:4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it, he being dead yet speaketh."

"In the NKJV and several other versions, the Greek “aiones” is translated “worlds”. That is commonly quoted as Biblical evidence that there are other worlds, which are inhabited in some form or another. In other versions it is variously translated “world”, “universe”, etc. But my understanding is that “aiones” is better understood as “aeons”, or “ages” – i.e., relating to time/epochs, rather than other worlds. A minority of English translations (like YLT) do use “ages”. Could you help please?"

"I’m confused by the way the concept of “spirit” is used in the Bible. In Genesis 2:7, the breath that God breathed into man is referred to as the spirit. When I read in Galatians 5:18 it talks about being led by the Spirit. When I saw “Spirit” capitalized I thought this was referring to the Holy Spirit. Interestingly, when I looked up the Greek word for “Spirit” in this text in Galatians it said it’s “pneuma” which means breath. That confused me. So how can “breath” Lead us ? Whenever “spirit” is mentioned in the Bible (if it is not referring to the Holy Spirit) does it always mean “breath” ? "
