Christian Uses
Some Japanese Christian texts use 黄泉 to refer to what is called Hell in the English versions. For example Revelation 6:8,
そこで見ていると、見よ、青白い馬が出てきた。そして、それに乗っている者の名は「死」と言い、それに黄泉が従っていた
in English: And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.

Famous quotes containing the word christian:
“Archbishop—A Christian ecclesiastic of a rank superior to that attained by Christ.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“I think that both here and in England there are two schools of thought—those who would be altruistic in regard to the Germans, hoping that by loving kindness to make them Christian again—and those who would adopt a much tougher attitude. Most decidedly I belong to the latter school, for though I am not blood-thirsty, I want the Germans to know that this time at least they have definitely lost the war.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
