Subject: what happened to Jesus in the grave? |
Bible Note: Greetings, With all due respect, Doc, I do not believe that Jesus's spirit went to hell during the time his body was in the grave, and for a good reason. First, none of those verses state that Jesus went to hell. The only one that even comes close to saying that is Ephesians 4:9 which states that Jesus descended into the earth, which can be interpreted as being put into the grave. Second, if Jesus was in hell for those three days, then why did he lie to the thief on the cross? He told the thief, "Today you shall be with Me in paradise." To say he was in hell makes him to be a liar. So, it's not out of disrespect I say this. Its because it's biblical. If the Lockman foundation teaches that Christ went to hell, they need to change their doctrine, cause the Bible doesn't teach that. Oh, and by the way, Psalms 23 only has 6 verses. Jalek |
