Subject: Jesus descend into hell |
Bible Note: Greetings BMyers! There are some doctrinal issues involved around the question of whether or not Jesus went to Hell. One of the more recent issues involves the Word of Faith movement. It's teachers argue that our atonement was not completed upon the Cross. They contend that there are three kinds of death and that Jesus had to die all three in order to redeem us from sin. Thus, they claim that Jesus had to suffer physically in Hell to redeem us. Scripture makes it quite clear that the cross is the only saving act of God. It was 'finished' on the cross, not over the next three days in Hell. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
