Hi BBR, There is no specific scripture given that says Jesus literally descended into hell! The Apostles creed uses the term hell which I think is not the best translation and it gives an inaccurate sense. The closest passage you're probably thinking of is Eph. 4:9: "(Now this expression, "He ascended," what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth?" [NASB] The term "lower parts" probably refers to the ground (or the close proximity of) in which Christ was placed after He died. The word is not "Gehenna" (Gr.) which is the commonly used word referring to the place of eternal torment. (1 Peter 3:19 is also thought by some to refer to this abode though its' full meaning is debatable). I hope this helps, BradK |
