1 | during the 3 days? | Matthew | Jesusman | 195348 | ||
Sorry, I'll have to disagree here. Jesus tells us very clearly where he will be during the period between his death and resurrection. Luke 23:43 And he said to him (the criminal with him), "Truly I say to you, Today you shall be with Me in Paradise." Jesus tells the thief on the cross that both he and Jesus will be in paradise. Why would he lie and go to hell instead? The verses stated above by the previous contributor no more supports the idea of Jesus going to hell and facing off against Satan for the keys of hell, than it supports Bush for president. The idea that Jesus went to hell and faught satan for the keys during the three days before the resurrection can't be fully supported by Scripture. The resurrection of Jesus solidifed his power over death and life both. Matthew 12:40, specifically 12:38-45, is a passage about Jesus foretelling his death. However, he says nothing or eludes to nothing to indicate that he will head to hell and face off against Satan for a set of keys. In fact, the first honest mention about any keys over hell is in Revelation 1:18. There is nothing mentioned in scripture to indicate that anyone except God ever had possession of them. From the time Jesus died and was buried until the time he rose from the grave, his body was in the tomb and his spirit was in Paradise. There is nothing mentioned to state otherwise. Jesusman |

Shabbat Shalom y'all, Jesusman, I think maybe the original poster of the question may have had Col. 2:14-15 on his mind. The WOF'ers (especially K. Copeland, K. Hagin and B. Hinn) teach this verse as Yeshua having gone into the depths of hell and wresting (spelling) the keys from satan and the making an open show of "them" and triumphing over "them" in it with the "them" being the beings in hell. Then according to this teaching, Yeshua preaches the gospel to those in the upper region known as Paradise, to Abraham, Isaac, etc. (Some teachings are the opposite, Yeshua preaches then goes into the depths to do battle.) Just thought you might like to know that this teaching is prevalent among the WOF'ers. (I know this cos I used to listen to them many many many years ago :-) ). I would be interested in your views on that verse. Cheri |

This teaching is also prevalent among dispensationalists as well. Scofield and Ryrie both spread the idea that Jesus went to hell and fought Satan over these keys. A Closer look at the verses you sited reveals that Paul is talking about the power of Jesus's crucifixion, and the authority in Christ. On a side note, people like Copeland, Hagin, and Hinn have about as much biblical truth in their teachings as the Sunday Morning newspaper. Their butchering of the scriptural context is horrible.

I knew that Scofield was dispensational but didn't know that Ryrie was. Thanks for the insight. But I've reached the place where I won't use a bible that has anything more than cross-references, for that reason. Too many differing opinions!! Cheri |

Scofield more so than Ryrie, but Ryrie was dispensational. As for the different opinions, if you look at them closely, many of them are arguing the same point, just from different perspectives. Jesusman |
