1 | Did Jesus go to hell? | 1 Peter | Truthfinder | 80476 | ||
Thank you EdB, Do you understand Jesus' "story" of Luke 16 as literal? If so, why can we not accept it as a parable? My second question might be: what do you understand a dead soul to be? Truthfinder |

2 | Did Jesus go to hell? | 1 Peter | EdB | 80538 | ||
Truthfinder A dead soul is just that a soul that, their earth suit has died. We are eternal beings. We either spend eternity in the presence of the Lord or in the Lake of Fire. The story in Luke 16 was a parable using the understanding of his audience to make his point. Jesus didn't introduce a new concept with Hades this is what Jews understood death to be. That has now changed since Jesus' death and His leading captive captivity Eph. 4:8. In other words taking those in Abraham's bosom home to heaven. Paul now tells us to be absent from the body is present with the Lord 2 Cor 5:8. Looking forward to seeing my Lord!!!! EdB |
