Subject: Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? |
Bible Note: You wrote: "But here, he told Thomas to thrust his hand into his side, which leads me to believe that by this time he had ascended to the Father." Jesus ascended to the Father in Acts 1, approximately 40 days after the Resurrection. John 20:17 reads this way in the NASB: 'Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'"' One could interpret this in several ways that does not require an interim visit to heaven between the Resurrection and the Ascension. The way it reads here, Mary apparently was already "clinging" to him, so he could be telling her instead to let go and go tell everyone that He is risen. There is no reason we must conclude that in the garden that Jesus was for some reason "untouchable" and then later he was "touchable." --Joe! |
