Subject: Jesus time in Hell |
Bible Note: Hello lightedsteps, Let's stick to one topic at a time as it makes it much easier to answer and follow:-) We're in agreement on the first two parts are we not? Your question had to do with Jesus going to hell and I've answered it! Time doesn't permit me to fully answer the "where were the souls from Adam to Christ". I don't see anything controversial about Eph. 4:9. The phrase "descended ino the lower regions,the earth" (katabas eis ta katotera tes ges) means that. It is not 'gehenna" which would refer to hell, so there's no support here from the text itself! The scriptures clearly teach that Christ died on the cross for our sins as I gave reference to in 1 Cor. 15:1-4. (cf 1 Cor. 1:17-18, Eph. 2:16) Atonement was made there, not in hell. Where are the scriptures that teach otherwise? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
