Hi Doc No affiliation with Church of Christ (Past Present or Future). It really intrigues me though as to why you would ask this question? lightedsteps |

Hi Doc I have felt most comfortable in the Non Denominational realm for some time. Although this too has become a denomination unto itself. The particular congregation would best be described as being gift oriented. As far as my questions they were nothing more than that my questions. I don't have an agenda or any ulterior motives. Being a born again Christian I'm trying my best to have the closest relationship with God possible. Whenever I have a question about something I ASK. As far as my writing style it's all my own I just want to make sure I am fully understood. Being a two finger typist I have a lot of time to think about the words I use to express myself. Proofreading is the final step where I attempt to refine and hone what I am trying to convey for the greatest understanding possible with the least chance for ambiguity using my limited means. This tool we call the computer is nothing more than a tool. The term use to be garbage in garbage out that term still rings true. This tool is inadequate in conveying to others what we are saying or what we mean without the other abilities we have like facial expressions or tone of voice. We have to rely on the language we all speak but we should not be limited in the expression of that language by a limited vocabulary. lightedsteps |

84 | Jesus time in Hell | 1 Pet 3:18 | lightedsteps | 221533 | ||
Hi Bradk first you say "There is simply nothing in scripture to support the notion that Jesus went to Hell" I concur with your assessment, but where then were the souls of the dead from Adam, to Christ while awaiting judgement, other than (The Bosom of Abraham) (Hell, Hades, Sheol) Was there a holding place of separation for those before Christ, for lack of a better word - (Hell). Then you post 1 Peter 3:19 in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison Matt. 27:52, 53, 52) The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53) and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many. "It says nothing about Him going to Hell. We don't know exactly where He went". Again I have to concur with you. Where then was this prison, where Jesus made this proclamation to those spirits? The word being used is, (Prison) which infers some place, and some form of punishment, even if it is only separation. Then the tombs which were opened, where were those spirits being held until Christ? Another controversial scripture that goes with 1 Pet. 3:19 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? Peter also speaks in Acts 2:27, in relation to the Psalm of David 16:10,11 Acts 2:27 Because you will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor allow your Holy One to undergo decay. These three places in scripture from Paul, Peter and David, speak of the lower parts of the earth, and His soul in Hades. If the principal we are to follow is, that we interpret the unclear passages of scripture, from those that are clear, where then are the clear passages you speak of? Grace be unto you lightedsteps |
