1 | 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 |

2 | 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 |

3 | 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. |

4 | what happened to Jesus in the grave? | Luke 23:43 | Jalek | 240802 | ||
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 |
