2 | what happened to Jesus in the grave? | Luke 23:43 | Jalek | 240785 | ||
Greetings, According to his promise to the thief on the cross, Jesus was in paradise. I'm not sure where the idea of Jesus going to Hell came from, but I think it's a misinterpretation of a passage in 1 Peter where it says that Jesus visited spirits which were locked up. Jalek |

Hi, Jalek... Our gracious host, the Lockman Foundation, has us agree to the Terms of Use as part of our registration. Furthermore, each time we post, we are reaffirming our agreement with the Terms of Use, before God, Lockman, our fellow participants, and our readers. One of the statements therein is an expression of commitment to Biblical Christian doctrine, which is further defined, in part, by the Apostles Creed. Therein is a statement of one of our most fundamental tenants, that “Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into hell. On the third day He rose again; He ascended into heaven, He is seated at the right hand of the Father, and He will come to judge the living and the dead.” The phrase in question is “He descended into hell.” That phrase is said to be based on seven biblical passages: Ephesians 4:9; Acts 2:24; 1 Peter 3:19; Hosea 13:14; Zechariah 9:11; Colossians 2:15; Psalm 23:7. Consequently, there is no doubt, in orthodox Christianity, that our Lord descended into hell. With our continued posting in the forum, we all avow and affirm this. We may well ask in what way Christ “descended into hell,” the purpose for which He did so, the nature of this incident, the purpose of this aspect of the atonement, what it accomplished, and what our Lord experienced. These are some of the questions that Anita is asking. In Him, Doc |

4 | what happened to Jesus in the grave? | Luke 23:43 | Jalek | 240791 | ||
Greetings, With all due respect, Doc, I do not believe that Jesus's spirit went to hell during the time his body was in the grave, and for a good reason. First, none of those verses state that Jesus went to hell. The only one that even comes close to saying that is Ephesians 4:9 which states that Jesus descended into the earth, which can be interpreted as being put into the grave. Second, if Jesus was in hell for those three days, then why did he lie to the thief on the cross? He told the thief, "Today you shall be with Me in paradise." To say he was in hell makes him to be a liar. So, it's not out of disrespect I say this. Its because it's biblical. If the Lockman foundation teaches that Christ went to hell, they need to change their doctrine, cause the Bible doesn't teach that. Oh, and by the way, Psalms 23 only has 6 verses. Jalek |

5 | what happened to Jesus in the grave? | Luke 23:43 | EdB | 240792 | ||
According to Jewish understanding on Hades/Hell the holding place of the dead there was two sides. One a hot dry place and the other Abraham's bosom or paradise. We see this further explained in Luke 16:9-31 where Jesus gives us a picture of Hades/Hell. Remember Hades/Hell is not the final punishment place of the wicked dead, the Lake of Fire is. In fact Hades/Hell gets thrown into the Lake of Fire. Jesus went to the Abraham's bosom or paradise side of Hades/Hell where in fact the thief went also and preached the the Good News and lead those held captive by death captive to heaven. Eph 4:8 |

6 | what happened to Jesus in the grave? | Luke 23:43 | Jalek | 240796 | ||
Greetings, Actually, the term for the place of the dead was Sheol, not hades/hell. Hades/Hell was reserved for the wicked and unjust, but Sheol was for all the dead. Abraham's bosom or Paradise was the place for those who were faithful to God. Jalek |

7 | what happened to Jesus in the grave? | Luke 23:43 | EdB | 240798 | ||
Actually Sheol is the Hebrew word, Hades is the is the Greek word and Hell is the English. All three are speaking of the same place and as you said to the Jew Sheol,Hades,Hell was the holding place of the dead. In Luke 16:19-31 Jesus gives us a picture of the place. One side now empty was for the righteous dead and the other the hot dry place was the holding place of the unrighteous dead. The side for the righteous was known as Abraham's bosom or Paradise and the other is often refered to as simply hell. The righteous side was emptied by Jesus Eph 4:8 and since then the righteous go directly into His presence 2 Cor 5:8 So today if we say someone is in hell that is assuming that they died without Christ and await the Great White Throne of Judgement. However before the cross that was not the story. |

Greetings, Under the interpretation that Jesus went to retrieve the Righteous and Faithful from the place of the dead called Paradise, I will agree. However, the common definition for Hell/Hades is the abode of the wicked and evil, to which I do not agree that Jesus went there, because that is not what scripture teaches. That is the point I was trying to make. Jalek |
