1 | Jesus in Hell? | 1 Peter | In the Andes | 53546 | ||
I've got a question. I understand what you are saying about the two compartments, but...what does it mean there in Acts 2:24 that Jesus was loosed from the Pains of Death? The same word is used in Rev. 16:11. Also, one more question, It says in Luke 16:22-23 that Laz. was carried to Abrahams bosom not hades and the rich man was in Hades in torments. How can we reconcile that? | ||||||
2 | Jesus in Hell? | 1 Peter | EdB | 53553 | ||
In the Andes First the words in Act 2:24 (the Greek word “Odin” means labor pains or birth pains) and talking more of the experience than of the actual pain. Acts 2:24 "But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power. NASB. Death here is talking about the separation from God. Whether you were in the hot dry place or in Abraham’s bosom you were separated from God. Peter is saying we no longer have to die but rather we have eternal life in Christ Jesus. The word in Rev 16:11 (is Ponos which is “pain”) and is talking of actual pain. Rev. 16:11 and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds. NASB As to Luke 16:22,23 we see both die. They both went to the place of the dead. This was called Hades. Jewish culture always taught there was two sides of Hades one Hot and dry reserved for the unrighteous and one paradise reserved for the righteous there the dead would wait for the Messiah (righteous) or Judgement (Hot dry). Jesus in telling this parable expanded on the Jewish knowledge of this place telling of the void or chasm that prevents moving about and he also called Paradise Abraham’s bosom which would have been a word picture to the Jews of Paradise. Remember Hell or Hades is not the final resting place of either the righteous or the wicked. The righteous, since the death of Christ, upon death go to be with Jesus. Paul told us that to be absent from the body was present with the Lord 2 Cor. 5:8. Also the wicked will stand judgement before the Great White Throne and then be cast alive into the Lake of Fire Rev 20:15. I pray this will clear it up for you. EdB |

3 | What do you mean by separated? | 1 Peter | In the Andes | 53561 | ||
Thanks for answering my question. I should have looked up the word pains in my concordance. Next time i'll look further than my cross ref. DUH!?! Since you reminded me to check my concordance I looked up all the entries of hades and none of them refered to the place of paradise. And all of them were refering to a place of torment or a place contrary to the abode of God's people before or after the cross. This leads me to my question. You said "death here is talking about separation from God" Robert Bowman in his book "The word faith controversy" says... "(Jesus) could not be literally separated from God..." Pg173 and refering to Matt 27:46 "Although Jesus' words here may seem to imply that he really was forsaken or abandoned by God, that is in fact not the case." pg 171 He worked at CRI with the bible answer guy. What do you mean by separated? |

In the Andes Your absolutely right Jesus could not be separated from God for Him to do so would cause the Godhead to be separated. Jesus died physically but not spiritually. He was never separated from God. Jesus' words in Matt 27:46 is Jesus once more in love and grace showing Himself to be the Messiah. He is quoting the first verse of the Psalm 22 which details his crucifixion experience. Jesus was not crying out for God. God would never leave nor forsake Him, Jesus was once more demonstrating His fulfillment of the prophets. Jesus conquered spiritual death that is what this passage in Acts is saying Death could not hold him, He beat death. The price was paid, sin had no hold on Him so he could not be separated from God.
