1 | Jesus time in Hell | 1 Pet 3:18 | lightedsteps | 221514 | ||
1) When Jesus died for us on the cross, He then went to Hell for us. (Right)? 2) During the time Jesus was in Hell, He preached The Gospel to those there didn't He? 3) Weren't there people that rose from the dead, on Easter Sunday when Jesus was resurrected? I'm looking for the scriptures that will answer these questions. lightedsteps |

Hello lightedsteps, There is simply nothing in scripture to support the notion that Jesus went to Hell. The source of this appears to be the Apostle's Creed, where is says, "he descended into hell...". This is more Old English, probably to refer to 'sheol" the earth or ground. 1. Wrong. Here's what scripture says: 1 Cor 15:3 "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures," 1 Cor 15:4 "and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures," 1 Pet 3:18 "For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;" Jesus did not atone for our sins in hell, he atoned for them on the cross! 2. 1 Peter 3:19 says, " in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison," It says nothing about Him going to Hell. We don't know exactly where He went. This is one of the more difficult passages in the entire NT. As principle, we interpret the unclear passages from those that are clear! 3. Matt. 27:52 and 53, does tell us, after Jesus death, "The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many." (NASB) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

Brad, It sure is one of the most difficult passages! In seminary I foolishly chose to write a greek exposition paper on that passage and never could make up my mind what it meant. My teacher gave me a C- I think and I was glad to get it! In Christ, Beja |
