1 | did jesus go to hell | 1 Pet 3:18 | JCrichton | 106559 | ||
So Jesus parable about Lazarus (not Mary's and Martha's brother) should be taken in a literal sense that there is a visual connection between heaven and hell and that Abraham (the father of faith) is there receiving those who die in the faith? And when Jesus talks about the lakes of fire (hell) he is only reflecting on the Jewish folklore and appealing to their fear? And when Martha mentioned that she knew that her brother, Lazarus, would be raised on the last day, Jesus did not bother to correct her misinterpretation of "when" we'll be resurrected? And when Paul talks about those who died in the Lord will be raised first, he just means the ones who just died during that day of our Lord's Second Coming? I can't cite a refernce point--except from my own personal Bible studies. God Bless! |

2 | did jesus go to hell | 1 Pet 3:18 | EdB | 106560 | ||
Whoa!!!!! That is not what I said at all! I said there is a place called Hell or Hades. It is described as having two sides one a hot dry place the abode of the unrighteous and the other side called Abraham's bosom or paradise the abode of the righteous that died before Christ. That side is now empty since Jesus emptied it and took the rigtheous to heaven with him. The lake of fire as seen in Rev 20 and 21 is very real and is anything but folklore. It will be the place where Satan and the unrighteous dead will be tormented forever. When Paul or Jesus talks about resurrection they are talking about the time when the dead bodies will reunited with their spirits, a time when we will receive or immortal or perfected bodies. Right now the spirit is what resides either heaven with Jesus or in Hades awaiting judgement. What you citing may be your own study but it is a real close copy of what Jehovah Witnesses teach. EdB |
