What happended during those three days, and what happened when Jesus died, - how did he defeat our sin, how did he take away our sin? |
Bible Answer: Yes! His dead body remain in "hell" or grave in three days. Lu 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: One of the many definition of "hell" is Sheol or grave: (1.) Sheol, occurring in the Old Testament sixty-five times. This word sheol is derived from a root-word meaning "to ask," "demand;" hence insatiableness (Pr 30:15-16). It is rendered "grave" thirty-one times (Ge 37:35; 42:38; 44:29,31; 1Sa 2:6, etc.). Quote "He says to the man next to Him that he will be with him in paradise" end of quote, it seems that luke 23:43 means that He promise to the person "today" now that this person will be with Him in paradise. You are right that he rtemains in grave in three days after that Christ resurrected. It is a promise my friend not on that hour itself. God bless, |
