What did Jesus do in hell? by Jack Kelly

[Bible_Gazer]

18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

Isaiah 38:18 (KJV)

[Matthitjah]

18 For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth.

Isaiah 38:18 (KJV)

Sounds right but what does that have to do with Jesus visiting hell?

He died your death which was the Just sentence for your tresspass;

Le 17:11

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that makes an atonement for the soul.

Do you suppose that after the Priests in Israel laid hands on a Lamb and slaughtered it sprinkling the Blood that God sent the Lamb to hell to mete out your sentence or was it's life and it's Blood which pointed towards a more perfect sacrifice by faith not sufficient?

Do not make Doctrine out of one piece of scripture, it's dangerous!

Peace,

Dave

I don't think Jesus went to a living place when he died.

Isaiah seem to make mention the dead don't get any truth when they are dead.

What good would it do Jesus to preach to the dead.

The Truth is wherever Jesus is. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, personified.

Hey guys 1 Peter 3 18-20 (kjv) ¹⁸ For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

¹⁹ By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

²⁰ Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water I thought he took the everybody from paradise to heaven but preached to the fallen saints-that he has come- and you lost(for the most) If I'm incorrect of my think please inform he please thank you

Ray the problem I have always had with Jesus supossedly taking everyone to heaven that was in paradise is that Peter says that David is dead and buried and his tomb is with us, declaring that David did not ascend into heaven. This was after Christ was resurrected.

Act 2:29 Men [and] brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

Act 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,

[HAZARD]

Who says that Jesus descended into hell?

The First Peter scripture doesn't say that either.

P.S. The original Apostles Creed say's nothing about Him descending into hell.

The Apostles’ Creed is not found in the Bible. The Apostles’ Creed was not written by the apostles. Rather, it was written at least 150 years after the apostles had all died. It contains these words;

I believe in the Holy Ghost;

the holy catholic church;

the communion of saints;

the forgiveness of sins;

the resurrection of the body;

and the life everlasting.

"I believe in the holy catholic church?" These words makes one surmise it was written by a member of the catholic church!

The Scriptures teach that Jesus went to Paradise, a compartment in Hell. Jesus told the repentant thief on the cross; "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43). Where Abraham, lazarus, and all the other rightious were held untill Christ died and took the keys of hell from Satan.

Physical death alone will not and can not pay the penalty for mans sins. Jesus took upon Himself the sins of all human beings, He became sin for all mankind as well as man's saviour. It was His being cut off from the Father by taking upon Himself, on the cross, the sins of all man kind that He suffered spiritual death. He became our substitute, Yours and mine. He was separated from His Father by taking upon Himself our sins. His sinless flesh was given as sacrifice so that sinfull man may be saved. (Rom. 6;1-22; 8:1-13). Remember when He cried out on the cross just before He died physically, ("MY GOD MY GOD WHY HAS'T THOUGH FORSAKEN ME"). The Father at that time turned His back on Jesus, He had to! for three days and nights, as it is written, for Jesus became at that time sin, and Jesus decended into hell to suffer the pain of hell, the pain of being separated from God the Father, the penality we alone deserve because of our sins. THIS SCRIPTURE TEACHES THAT CHRIST WENT TO HELL WHERE HE PREACHED UNTO THOSE IN PRISON. "By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison" (1 Peter 3:19). I would hasten to say Jesus told those in Hell that all the promises Satan made regarding their release was a lie. Satan had hoped to defeat Jesus whild Jesus was a mere man, but he failed to defeat Him! After three days the Father said It's enough and raised Jesus from the dead and hell. Jesus conquered sin, satan, death, and the grave, He and the Father, who stood aside and allowed His Son to go through the pain and suffering gave us all a second chance. Thank you Jesus

You're right about the Apostles Creeed to the extent that it is not contained within the Codified Bible. It pre-exists it and it was a way prior to the Codification of the Bible for believers to practice Theology and keep the Churches Doctrine from Gnosticism. It was not written by the Catholic Church. It also did not contain the part about Jesus Descending into hell. That was most likely added by the Catholic Church later on.

The Scriptures do not teach that Jesus went to Hell.

Making a strong assertion does not equate to a literal reference nor does it support your argument.

The part you've added about Jesus warning those in Hades about the lies of satan and some kind of promised release amounts to nothing more than Folk Theology and was what I was warning about when I cautioned making Doctrine out of whole cloth without Biblical support.

Do you know all there is to know about Hell according to the Bible?

Hell is mentioned in many dozens of Scriptures throughout the Bible, in fact there are five departments in the underworld of departed Spirits, not one of these places is associated with or is the grave where bodies are buried.

These five departments are;

One). Paradise;

In Luke 16:19-31; 23:43, we have pictured total comfort and water in this prison because the rich man saw Lazarus afar off in comfort and bliss and asked him to dip his finger in water and cool his tongue (Luke 16:19-31).

This was the abode of the righteous souls from Adam after dying and leaving their bodies, being held captive by the devil against their wills till Christ's death and resurrection (Heb. 2:14-15; Eph. 4:7-11).

Before Jesus Christ conqured the power of death and Hell, the devil had these powers. (Col. 2:14-17; Heb. 2:14-15; Rev. 1:18).

It was into this prison the repentant thief went with Christ the day they both died (Luke 23:43). This prison is located in the heart of the Earth as is clear from (Matt. 12:40 and Eph. 4:7-11).

Jesus not only went into this prison but He also went into another prison, "Tartarus," and preached to the fallen angels being held there in their own special prison.

Jesus having conqured Hell and death and the grave during His crucifiction and during the three days He was in the underworld, He captured all the righteous souls that were in Paradise and took them to Heaven when He ascended on high (Eph. 4:7-11).

Jesus now has the keys to Hell and death (Rev. 1:18).

When one checks every Scripture provided in this post one cannot believe Jesus did not go to Hell, that He did not preach to the SPIRITS there, and captured all the righteous souls, Abraham, Lazarus, Moses, Isac, David, and all the others rightious souls that died and were in Paradise, before Jesus came to the Earth and died, and He took these rightious souls to Heaven when He ascended on high.

In conclusion, the five compartments in Hell are;

These five departments are;

One). Paradise, which we are speaking of here;

In Luke 16:19-31; 23:43, we have pictured total comfort and water in this prison because the rich man saw Lazarus afar off in comfort and bliss and asked him to dip his finger in water and cool his tongue (Luke 16:19-31). This was the abode of the righteous souls from Adam after dying and leaving their bodies, being held captive by the devil against their wills till Christ's death and resurrection (Heb. 2:14-15; Eph. 4:7-11). Before Jesus Christ conqured the power of death and Hell, the devil had these powers. (Col. 2:14-17; Heb. 2:14-15; Rev. 1:18).

It was into this prison the repentant thief went with Christ the day they both died (Luke 23:43). This prison is located in the heart of the Earth as is clear from Matt. 12:40 and Eph. 4:7-11. Jesus not only went into this prison but He also went into another prison, "Tartarus," and preached to the fallen angels being held there in their own special prison. Jesus having conqured Hell and death and the grave during His crucifiction and during the three days He was in the underworld, He captured all the righteous souls that were in Paradise and took them to Heaven when He ascended on high (Eph. 4:7-11). Jesus now has the keys to Hell and death (Rev. 1:18). Rightious souls who die now no longer go here. They go straight to Heaven when they die.

Two). Tartarus; This prison is the special prison for the fallen angels that sinned both before and after the flood. There is nothing recorded in Scripture that teaches demons or human beings ever go into this prison. In these passages it is clear that there is a real Hell that is not the grave and that Spirit beings are confined in chains until judgment (1 Pet. 3:19; 2 Pet. 2:4; Jude 6-7).

Three). Hell itself; (Matt. 16:18; Luke 16:19-31). This is the torment part in the unseen world and was, still is, and will yet be the abode of all the wicked souls and spirits of men from Able to the end of the Millennium. Then, at this time all the wicked will be liberated out of this prison and will be given their own immortal bodies and be judged before being cast into the "lake of fire" forever (Rev. 20:11-15; 21:8).

Four). The Bottomless Pit or Abyss is the abode or prison of demons and certain angelic beings. No human being is ever thrown into the abyss. It is a very deep chasm in the lower parts of the Earth. It is translated "deep" (Luke 8:26-31; Romans 10:7) and "Bottomless Pit" in Rev. 9:1-3, 11; 11:7; 17:8; 20:1-10). All these Scriptures prove that there are prisons in the lower parts of the Earth for departed sinning spirits, and they are not and could never be the same as a grave on the surface of the Earth.

And Five). The Lake of Fire, is the eternal Hell and perdition of wicked men, demons, fallen angels, and all rebellious creatures of all ages who have ever rebelled against God, and who have refused to repent when they could have. It is called "The Gehenna of Fire" and is always translated Hell (Matt. 5:22, 29, 30; 10:28; 18:9; 23:15, 33; Mark 9:43-45, 47; Luke 12:5; James 3:6). This prison is also called "the second death, which is the lake of fire" (Rev. 2:11; 20:6, 14). This final Hell was prepared for the devil and all his angels (Matt. 25:41-46), and for all other rebells, and it is ETERNAL in duration (Rev. 14:9-14; 20:10-15; Isa. 66:22-24; Matt. 25:46). There is no record in Scripture of anyone being the lake of fire at present. Scripture does show that the beast and the false prophet will be the first to be cast into it. This will happen before the Millennium (Rev. 19:20). They will still be there 1,000 years later when the devil and all other rebells will be cast into it (Rev. 20:10-15).

Scripture also teaches that there will be degrees of punishment in Hell as far as remorse and torment of the conscience is concerned (Matt. 10:15; 11:22; 12:41; 23:14; Mark 6:11; 12:40; Luke 10:14; 11:31, 32; 20:47). These degrees of punishment will be because of the kind of sins comitted by one that were not comitted by another. No man will be punished or could have remorse over something he did not do. They will all regret rebelling against God and man and failing to believe in Jesus, and repenting of sin.

" Act 2:29 Men [and] brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day."

.

Davids body is buried in a sepulchre, He, his soul is now in Heaven. Hen we die our bodies are left behind here on earth buried and our soul, our spirits go to Heaven or Hell depending on how we lived and if we are "in Jesus" or not.

[Bible_Gazer]

Well it seem to be if you are trinity or oneness - you cannot allow God to die so he has to go or be somewhere. Since God can't die.

So death seem to be about the body anyway since some believe we are going to get our body back from the grave as did God.

Just Pondering about this.

In I Peter 3:18 it says - He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. ¹⁹ After being made alive, he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits— ²⁰ to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built.

Who were those who were disobedient ? The fallen angels the demonic spirits. Where were the fallen angels placed to wait the judgement? Into Sheol a place of sorrow - In 2 Sam 22:6; Ps 18:5 & 116:3 it is a place into which the wicked are turned and where in Ps 9:17 they are fully conscious - Is 14:9-17 & Ezek 32:21.
