Subject: Jesus time in Hell |
Bible Note: Hi Bradk first you say "There is simply nothing in scripture to support the notion that Jesus went to Hell" I concur with your assessment, but where then were the souls of the dead from Adam, to Christ while awaiting judgement, other than (The Bosom of Abraham) (Hell, Hades, Sheol) Was there a holding place of separation for those before Christ, for lack of a better word - (Hell). Then you post 1 Peter 3:19 in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison Matt. 27:52, 53, 52) The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53) and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many. "It says nothing about Him going to Hell. We don't know exactly where He went". Again I have to concur with you. Where then was this prison, where Jesus made this proclamation to those spirits? The word being used is, (Prison) which infers some place, and some form of punishment, even if it is only separation. Then the tombs which were opened, where were those spirits being held until Christ? Another controversial scripture that goes with 1 Pet. 3:19 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? Peter also speaks in Acts 2:27, in relation to the Psalm of David 16:10,11 Acts 2:27 Because you will not abandon my soul to Hades, nor allow your Holy One to undergo decay. These three places in scripture from Paul, Peter and David, speak of the lower parts of the earth, and His soul in Hades. If the principal we are to follow is, that we interpret the unclear passages of scripture, from those that are clear, where then are the clear passages you speak of? Grace be unto you lightedsteps |
