Subject: Did Jesus go to hell after dying? |
Bible Note: The full penaty for our sins is "death" (Romans 6:23). We are not condemned to "Gehenna" (Hell) or Heaven until the judgment. Christ descended into Hades A place of the unseen, divided into two sides--"Abraham's bosom" (Luke 16:22,23), also known as "Paradise" (Luke 24:43), and "torments" (Luke 16:23), also known as "Tartarus". The divisions can be observed as follows: I. In the world innocent and saved / lost DEATH II. Sheol or Hades paradise // tartarus RESURRECTION III. Final Judgment rewarded (come to heaven) // condemned (depart to Gehenna the lake of fire) / equals gulf not fixed // equals gulf fixed |
