Did Jesus Christ go to hell between His death and resurrection?

[BlessedByTheBest]

 

 

ok I got a Q about this.

everyone seems to think Jesus went into the middle of ( down into )  earth to paradise. Luke 23:43

 

in 11 Corin 12:4 Paul is going up into paradise.

Is this one of those times; I can say I dont know which way is up or down

hi coheir

 

Paul spoke of Paradise after Christ's ascension.

 

Before Christ's ascenscion, Paradise was in the earth.

 

ok another Q

Bible says when Christ returns the dead in Christ will rise first. this makes one think they will rise from the earth or ground; but if they are in paradise which is up near heaven

I never did get figured out right ??????????

 

 

He is speaking of the natural, or physical.  it refers to our new glorified bodies.

 

the righteous dead are in paradise in spirit only.

Jesus did NOT go to hell, as in that place of fiery torment.. Hell is empty at the moment. He went to Hades, the grave, the place where the righteous dead awaited their Messiah. It is referred to as Abraham's Bosom, or Paradise. People refer to that as hell, but it is not the same place that the wicked and Satan and his angels are cast on the day of final judgment.

I heard that Christ went to the lands that did not know about him so that those poor souls did not go to hell.  It is not fair that someone go to hell because they lived in a primitive society with no knowledge.

 

He didn't do that, either. There were no Jews among them. Be careful that you are not influenced by Mormonism.

i'm happy if iv'e been any help brother.

 

i believe those references of sleeping simply imply "rest", a spiritual rest.

not sleeping in the sense of what we know as being unconscious.

[Floatingaxe]

Whenever you read the word "sleep" in reference to death in the Old King James (and beyond) lingo, you know it means death. That is the archaic way of expressing death. Our bodies die, but live.

 

Matthew 22:32

‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

1 Peter 3:17-22
 18 For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, in order that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; 19 in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison, 20 who once were disobedient, when the patience of God kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through the water. 21 And corresponding to that, baptism now saves you —  not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience —  through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.
NASB

Apostle Paul said he knew a man who was caught up to the third heaven no mystery as the scripture says plainly the man was "caught up"   According to apostle Paul (Ephesians 4) Jesus did descend and preached the gospel to the saints who were held prisoner by Satan.  Satan was stripped of his authority when Christ defeated him in his death, burial and resurrection as he ascended up to heaven.  Satan no longer holds the keys (authority) over the believers "bodies" keeping them bound and locked up in Abraham's bosom (paradise) for eternity without ever being released.  Satan no longer has that power over the bodies of the saints at their death today.   When Moses disobeyed God he couldn't go into the promise land as the result of his disobedience.  Whenever Moses died scripture states that the Lord buried him.  And when the angel came for the body of Moses scripture records that Satan came bringing railing accusations concerning Moses body but the angel Gabriel  told Satan that the Lord rebuke you.  Moses was a type and shadow of Christ as deliverer setting us free from sins bondage releasing us from bondage (held captive).  Just as Satan couldn't take the body of Moses in his burial in like manner he couldn't take captive the body of Jesus in his death, burial and resurrection.  Jesus on the cross shed his own blood giving his own body as the sacrifice for our sins to pay the ransom price to buy us back from the curse of the law (being physical death).

Our spiritual bodies now belong to Christ  at the death of the saints for he purchased our bodies back and now they belong to him.
