Subject: Jesus decended into hell? |
Bible Note: Hi Kalos, Just to clarify my view, I am not, in any way, shape, or form advocating the heretical view that Jesus went to hell to be punished by the devil, to "take keys from the devil", or any other such purpose. The work Jesus did was completed on the cross. Justice was satisfied, the price paid, the work completed. I believe that Jesus descended to hell ("hades" or "sheol") to announce to those in Abraham's bosom, the faithful, that He had bought their release, and to proclaim His victory over sin and death. Just to be clear... Love in Christ, Mark |
