What did Jesus do in hell? by Jack Kelly

[JohnD]

Someone quoted Ephesians 4. Well done.

Ephesians 4:8-10 (KJV)

8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

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.

Luke 23:43 (KJV)

43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Jesus gave up the Ghost at 3 PM 14 Nisan 30 AD / CE. Before sunset that same day (6 PM) his Spirit and the spirits of those he rescued from Abraham's Bosom in hades were in heaven (paradise).

Matthew 12:39-40 referred to his body being in the tomb 3 days and 3 nights (which destroys the Roman Catholic Empire's Friday crucifixion btw).

In John 20:17 he was referring to his resurrected state that had not yet ascended to the Father (which he did that very day in accord with OT Law Leviticus 23:15).

[HAZARD]

Yes, jesus went to Hades to reveal Himself as Messiah to those who believed under the Old Covenant and were awaiting their Messiah, and to lead them out to Heaven.

He did not go to Hell, that place of suffering, whose gates are not open until Judgment Day.

Your correct, and I agree, Jesus never suffered. He overcame satan in the desert and on the cross. When Jesus said, "IT is finished," just before He died it was finished.

"When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."

Jesus, with the repentant thief on the cross next to Him, at death went to Paradise where Abraham, Lazarus and all the rightious were held captive by the devil. Before He rose from the dead three days later and led captives to Heaven He also went to this compartment in Hell;

Quote me,

" 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, not men, are confined in chains in Tartarus, until judgment (1 Pet. 3:19; 2 Pet. 2:4; Jude 6-7)."

I think the only one's that know what happened down there are Jesus and those that were there!

BUT we will know 'when allowed by God' and I think we will be surprised of the testimony to our hearts

when it is given what really occured... certainly part of our treasure laid up in Heaven for us Love, Steven

He did NOTHING in Hell (the Grave).

He was DEAD. Not alive in any form- until resurrectred,

All else is Church Fairy Tale.

Please elucidate, and it would help if you posted scripture to confirm your statement?

He or she is probably an atheist, sent here to yank our chains.

No Jehovah Witness I know would refer to themselves as "the MadJW"

And a true believer wouldn't refer to the Gospel as a "church fairy tale".

Just a thought.

Scripture cuts to the truth. The Word is the Truth. And on a Christian Ministry site such as Worthy, inviting someone to quote God's Word in reverence and truth, either shines a light, or shows the darkness.

[Fez]

And so it was. The darkness was revealed.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Hebrews 9:27

Will Never Be Nothing

And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:

Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.

For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Mark 9:47-49

Truth

Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. John 10:17-18

And Liars

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. 1 John 2:22-26

And The Offer

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. John 3:16-18

Believe And Be Blessed Beloved
