Subject: Can you tell me where was jesus for thos |
Bible Note: Hi Janae, Apparently I'm still lacking, because I don't see Rev. 1:18 as any type of "proof-text" that Jesus went to hell. Lower parts as I alluded to can mean "the ground"- as Jesus was buried in a tomb. The point I'm making is this: there is simply no clear scripture that states "Jesus went to hell"! It is speculation- at best- to say so. There is a major difference between solid scriptural support for one's position and gross speculation. I also don't know how you could be so certain that Paul was referring to hell. Could you elaborate? Janae, I just don't see that you have very valid argument here from Gods' Word! Maybe you could answer as to why Jesus would need to go to hell to atone for your and my sins to begin with? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
