1 | Jesus went to Hell before Resurrection? | Matt 12:40 | Darktanianxx | 32418 | ||
There were two compartments in hell called Gehhenna[the place of torment, and paradise [Abrahams bosom]. Jesus went to paradise and not the place of torment. He preached the same Gospel message to them as he did to those who were alive. They believed and were taken up to heaven with Jesus. "To be absent from the body is to be present with the lord". | ||||||
2 | Jesus went to Hell before Resurrection? | Matt 12:40 | kalos | 58343 | ||
Two compartments in hell? one called Gehenna? No. "HADES...divided into two parts one the abode of the blest and the other of the lost." Hades divided into two parts, not HELL divided into two compartments. According to Darktanianxx, "There were two compartments in hell called Gehhenna[the place of torment, and paradise [Abrahams bosom]"? According to Smith's Bible Dictionary, 'HADES...an intermediate state between death and resurrection, divided into two parts one the abode of the blest and the other of the lost' (emphasis added). 'In the New Testament "hell" is the translation of two words, Hades and Gehenna . The word Hades , like Sheol sometimes means merely "the grave," (Acts 2:31; 1 Corinthians 15:55; Revelation 20:13) or in general "the unseen world." It is in this sense that the creeds say of our Lord, "He went down into hell," meaning the state of the dead in general, without any restriction of happiness or misery. Elsewhere in the New Testament Hades is used of a place of torment, (Matthew 11:23; Luke 16:23; 2 Peter 2:4) etc.; consequently it has been the prevalent, almost the universal, notion that HADES is an intermediate state between death and resurrection, divided into two parts one the abode of the blest and the other of the lost. It is used eleven times in the New Testament, and only once translated "grave." (1 Corinthians 15:55) (Emphasis added.) 'The word most frequently used (occurring twelve times) in the New Testament for the place of future punishment is Gehenna or Gehenna of fire . This was originally the valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem, where the filth and dead animals of the city were cast out and burned; a fit symbol of the wicked and their destruction' (http://bible.crosswalk.com/Dictionaries/SmithsBibleDictionary/). |
