Bible Question: Where in the bible is it stated that Jesus did battle for 3 days with the devil, in order to gain heaven? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Anna Marie; I think you'll find (if you read your Bible) that Jesus defeated Satan twice. The first time was in the wilderness when Jesus withstood Satan's temptations (and his company!) for 40 days. The second time was the resurrection when he took away the only real weapon Satan has - death. There is nothing in the Bible about a "battle" between Jesus and Satan. Jesus simply conformed to his Father's will, effectively ignoring Satan. He defeated Satan without firing a shot. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
