Bible Question: A young (7th grader) man in my new members class asked the following question. "Once someone goes to hell, is there any way they can get out?" My answer was no, but my co-teacher said yes. She gave that answer because she believed there was a verse in the bible that said God/Jesus descended into hell to give those who died before Jesus'time an opportunity to accept Him as their Lord and Savior. If anyone can point me to that scripture in the bible I would appreciate it. |
Bible Answer: Greetings StillLearning, Your co-teacher states her belief based on her "understanding" of 1 Peter 3:19; Proverbs 30:4; John 3:13; Ephesians 4:9-10 and Matthew 12:40. However, even if Jesus did descend Himself into hell (which I do not believe), it still DOES NOT support any belief that when someone goes to hell, there is any way out! There is truly no way out of hell! There is NO RETURN! And do not let your co-teacher deceive ANYONE by saying otherwise!! (Matthew 5:22; 10:28; Mark 9:47; James 3:6; 2 Peter 2:4; Revelation 20:15) Blessings to you, Makarios |
