Bible Question: I am wondering why I've heard some preachers say that Jesus paid for our sins after His death... that he was cast into hell... where did this come from? |
Bible Answer: Eph 4:9 (Now this expression, "He ascended," what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth? Eph 4:10 He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.) The Lord was not actually cast into hell, but He went there. (The word says that he led capitivity captive.)Eph 4:8 Therefore it says, "WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN." He went to hell (hades at the time) To preach to the souls who died in hope of his coming...When people died before Jesus came they went to hades and rested in Abraham's bosom. John 8:56 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." John 8:57 So the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" John 8:58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am." When people died before the Lord Jesus came they went to hades and rested in Abraham bosom Luke 16:Luke 16:22 "Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. Luke 16:23 "In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. Luke 16:24 "And he cried out and said, 'Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.' Luke 16:25 "But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. Luke 16:26 'And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.' Luke 16:27 "And he said, 'Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father's house-- Luke 16:28 for I have five brothers--in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.' Luke 16:29 "But Abraham *said, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.' Luke 16:30 "But he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!' Luke 16:31 "But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'" So the Lord Jesus did go to hell (hades) to preach to the sould who died in hopes of his coming. A person's total salvation should be based on the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Not any of his works. For without the resurrection then are we still in our sins. I hoped that I helped... |
