1 | Cite Scripture Jesus descended to hell | Ephesians | EdB | 26690 | ||
Steve Prayon Jesus did go to hell, however it wasn't the place we commonly think of when we say hell. Hell, Hades, Sheol is the Jewish term for the holding place of the dead. In Luke 16;19-31 we see Jesus give us a glimpse of this. It is divided into two sections one called the hot dry place and the other paradise or Abraham's bosom. When someone died before Christ's death he went either to the hot dry place if he was unrighteous or the Abraham’s bosom if he was depending on the Messiah for salvation. When Jesus died he along with the repentant thief on the cross went to hell but to the side called paradise or Abraham's bosom. There Jesus preached the Good News and lead Captivity Captive to heaven Eph 4:8. The only thing left in hell today is the unrighteous awaiting the great white throne of judgement. Today the use of the word hell to refer to the hot dry place is correct since it is the only part that exists, but that was not the case at Jesus' time. Remember the ultimate resting place of the unrighteous is not Hell but rather the Lake of Fire. Rev 20:15. EdB |

Steve Read what I said, the word we translate hell meant holding place for the dead. Again it was divided into two sections one hot and dry the other paradise (Abraham's bosom) Luke 16 19-31. In a sense yes Abraham's bosom was hell. However remember the meaning of hell has since changed since the only ones there now are the ones that rejected Jesus. |

Scripture ... Matt 5:22, Jas 3:6, 2 Pet 2:4 ... Ed, If that is your definition, you are right. However, 12 of the 13 times the NAS translates the word into hell, it is from Geenna, including (Matt 5:22, Jas 3:6). The meaning has not changed. Tartaroo is the other word (2 Pet 2:4). In Luke 16:19-31 Abraham's bosom and the Hades, place of torment far away from each other. They are also constrasted, as were the differences when each was alive. Just some thots, Steve |

Steve First I'm sending you a doc that will explain this. But let me say here the term Gehenna is referring to the bodies and not just souls so when used in this context it is talking of the Lake of Fire. EdB |
