Truthfinder, In an effort to help you find the truth, please know that in the original manuscripts there no punctuation. For 2,000 years the Church has always taught that the thief Jesus spoke to on the cross would be with Him in Paradise that very day. Yours is the novel interpretation and novels as we know are fiction. Emmaus |

Truthfinder, Do you really believe that all those martyrs in the early centuries of the church were willing, almost anxious to undergo martyrdom just so they could become unconcious in the grave? We know from their own writing, indeed even Paul's in his letters (2 Cor 5:8)that they anticipated something better, that is being present to the Lord. And the book of Revaltion makes it clear that they expected those saints who had already gone home to the Lord to return with Him at the second coming, because they were already with Him. One has to willfully ignore an awful lot of Scripture and other early Christian testimony to come to any other conclusion. Emmaus |

Truthfinder, I must have mistakenly gotten the impression from your post regarding the punctuation in Jesus comment to the thief on the cross that you were implying the soul sleep teaching of the Jehovah Witnesses. But you say otherwise and I take it you do not subscribe to that particular teaching. Is that correct? If so I was mistaken and apologize. Emmaus |

Truthfinder, I believe that animals have souls, but not ones that are rational or immortal, only souls that are the animating principle of life. Please see my previous post # 93949 on how the term soul is used in various ways. Emmaus |

3508 | Here's what Jesus said before he died. | 1 Pet 3:19 | Emmaus | 94025 | ||
Truthfinder, I did not miss your question and I undestand it. My short answer is yes, animals do have spirits in the simple OT sense of the breath of life, but not immortal souls as the common usage understands regarding men who also have the breath of life until they die. The subject of how the words for spirit and soul are used in the OT and NT covers several pages under both "soul" and "spirit" in my copy of Dictionary of the Bible by John L. McKenzie. I am afraid it would really aggravate my Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to try and cover all the finer points of the subject covered there and elsewhere. I only wish it was online so I could cut and paste but it is not. Emmaus |

Spikebogwan, I hope this is of some help in answering your question "Christ Descended into Hell The frequent New Testament affirmations that Jesus was "raised from the dead" presuppose that the crucified one sojourned in the realm of the dead prior to his resurrection.[477] This was the first meaning given in the apostolic preaching to Christ's descent into hell: that Jesus, like all men, experienced death and in his soul joined the others in the realm of the dead. But he descended there as Saviour, proclaiming the Good News to the spirits imprisoned there.[478] Scripture calls the abode of the dead, to which the dead Christ went down, "hell" - Sheol in Hebrew or Hades in Greek - because those who are there are deprived of the vision of God.[479] Such is the case for all the dead, whether evil or righteous, while they await the Redeemer: which does not mean that their lot is identical, as Jesus shows through the parable of the poor man Lazarus who was received into "Abraham's bosom":[480] "It is precisely these holy souls, who awaited their Saviour in Abraham's bosom, whom Christ the Lord delivered when he descended into hell."[481] Jesus did not descend into hell to deliver the damned, nor to destroy the hell of damnation, but to free the just who had gone before him.[482] "The gospel was preached even to the dead."[483] The descent into hell brings the Gospel message of salvation to complete fulfilment. This is the last phase of Jesus' messianic mission, a phase which is condensed in time but vast in its real significance: the spread of Christ's redemptive work to all men of all times and all places, for all who are saved have been made sharers in the redemption. Christ went down into the depths of death so that "the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live."[484] Jesus, "the Author of life", by dying destroyed "him who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and [delivered] all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong bondage."[485] Henceforth the risen Christ holds "the keys of Death and Hades", so that "at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth."[486] Today a great silence reigns on earth, a great silence and a great stillness. A great silence because the King is asleep. The earth trembled and is still because God has fallen asleep in the flesh and he has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began. . . He has gone to search for Adam, our first father, as for a lost sheep. Greatly desiring to visit those who live in darkness and in the shadow of death, he has gone to free from sorrow Adam in his bonds and Eve, captive with him - He who is both their God and the son of Eve. . . "I am your God, who for your sake have become your son. . . I order you, O sleeper, to awake. I did not create you to be a prisoner in hell. Rise from the dead, for I am the life of the dead."[487] IN BRIEF By the expression "He descended into hell", the Apostles' Creed confesses that Jesus did really die and through his death for us conquered death and the devil "who has the power of death" (Heb 2:14). In his human soul united to his divine person, the dead Christ went down to the realm of the dead. He opened heaven's gates for the just who had gone before him." notes 477 Acts 3:15; Rom 8:11; I Cor 15:20; cf. Heb 13:20. 478 Cf. I Pt 3:18-19. 479 Cf.

Searcher, First I note that Luke 23:46 says "Into your our hands I commit my spirit." It does not say "He went to heaven.", nor does it say exactly where his spirit went. Is not God omnipresent? How do you deal with all the other passages cited and with the ones below? Ps 16:10 For You will not abandon my soul to Sheol; Nor will You allow Your Holy One to undergo decay. Ps 18:5 The cords of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me. Ps 30:3 O LORD, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit. Ps 31:17 Let me not be put to shame, O LORD, for I call upon You; Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol. Ps 49:14 As sheep they are appointed for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall rule over them in the morning, And their form shall be for Sheol to consume So that they have no habitation. Ps 49:15 But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, For He will receive me. Selah. Ps 55:15 Let death come deceitfully upon them; Let them go down alive to Sheol, For evil is in their dwelling, in their midst. Ps 86:13 For Your lovingkindness toward me is great, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. Ps 88:3 For my soul has had enough troubles, And my life has drawn near to Sheol. Ps 89:48 What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah. Ps 116:3 The cords of death encompassed me And the terrors of Sheol came upon me; I found distress and sorrow. Ps 139:8 If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there. Emmaus |

Searcher, "Where is the Father?" I presume you want the answer "Our Father who art in Heaven." But Acts 17:28 also says "In him we live and move and have our being." And Psalm 139:8 says "If I ascend to heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there." "Is not God omnipresent ... cite Scritpure." See above citations." "Do the verses you cited say it is Christ?" Acts 2:25-27; 13:34 cites Psalm 16:9-10 in reference to Jesus and even says that it refers to Jesus, not David. Of course if you do not accept "sleep" as a euphemism for death as it is often used and if you do not believe that being raised from the dead is the same as being raised from among the dead but merely means being raised from the tomb, then we should end our discussion now having agreed to disagree.

3514 | Why did Jesus Go to Hell | 1 Pet 3:19 | Emmaus | 109619 | ||
Searcher, "What was the need to preach?" I think the answer to your question is in 1 Peter 4:4-6. Christians are often condemned by the word for not entering into its sins. So also with the righteous before Jesus came. So when Jesus went and preached to the dead in Hades, the just were vindicated in the face of the enemies who had condemned them in their life here on earth. "In all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excesses of dissipation, and they malign you; but they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God" 1 Peter 4:4-6 Emmaus |

bstudent, I'm guessing Adam is happy to know Jesus is his judge and not you. I am content to leave the matter in Jesus' hands. Emmaus |

bstudent, In that case I will also keep in minds Jesus' words "Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned." Luke 6:37 Emmaus |

Define "hell." Do the users of the term you are questioning or do you mean the general abode of all the dead (Sheol)or the place of eternal damnation (Gehenna)? | ||||||
