1 | Can you tell me where was jesus for thos | Rev 1:18 | Praise Be To God | 144792 | ||
The tomb was above the ground. The Holy Spirit has told me that Paul was referring to hell. I did not say that Jesus went to hell to atone for our sins. His death on the cross did that. I merely said he went to hell. My intellect tells me that since Jesus took upon his body all the sins of the world, that he would have to go to hell, because that is what happens to the sinner (although, Jesus, himself, was spotless and sinless). He went to hell for us. He died for us, so we wouldn't have to. I don't know what happened while he was in hell, but I know that he won the victory, and the keys to death and hades. When we get to heaven all things will be made known to us. We will find out exactly what happened to Jesus during those three days. In the meantime, we have to listen to the Holy Spirit when He tells us things while we are reading the Holy Scriptures. He wrote them. He is the teacher. The Bible says we need no man to teach us these things, as the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth. I can't make you see my point of view and I am not trying to. You are free to believe what you want to believe on this point. It will not affect your salvation. But, I do not want to argue about it. I think we should just agree to disagree and leave it at that.

Hi Janae, Here are some thoughts I have had on this subject. Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. Is paradise, in this passage, heaven, or is is Abraham's Bosom? Depending on how you answer this makes a lot of difference in how you understand this issue. Eph 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) When Jesus "led captivity captive", how did He lead them, but to go to where they were? And where were these captives? When we say "Jesus descended to hell", remember hell had two compartments, the side of torment, and the side of comfort, and I do not say Jesus went to the side of torment, but rather to the side of comfort. Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; Again, a lot depends on how literally you interpret this prophecy. My thinking is that after Jesus died, He descended to the lower parts of the earth, into Abraham's Bosom, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and to open their prison, after which He led them out, having taken captivity captive, and ascended, with them, on high. I know this is not the only way to interpret these passages, but this is the way that makes the most sense to me. Love in Christ, Mark |

Thank you, Mark, and thank you for your sweet spirit and pleasant way of saying things. What you say makes total sense because "Paradise" would be Abraham's Bosom, as you say and, the thief was with Him in Paradise. Thank you for making that clear. He lead captivity captive, then the thief would have gone on to heaven with Him. Thank you for your response. God bless you. This makes perfect sense. Janae |

Mark is absolutely right! Check out Luke 16:14-31 to see how Jesus explained it. God bless you, Janae! | ||||||
