And to which hell did He go?

Hades/Sheol, the land of the departed; or Ghenna, the land of fire?Tradition suggests He went into the fires of hell, preached the gospel, and then took the keys of death and hell from Satan.Is that really the way it happened God-HonoringChrist-CenteredBible-BasedSpirit-Led

It was hades

No, Jesus did not go to the Lake of Fire. That is a different place than hell, and, in fact, hell will be thrown into the Lake of Fire.And certainly Jesus was not under the dominion of Satan, though He gave Himself to the hands of those who crucified Him at the devil's urging (all part of the plan).

If I understand the Scripture correctley, He went to the same place Lazarus went to Recorded Sermons @ www.pastorwiley.com

We know that He went to paradise (the thief on the cross proves that).

OTCP...so, you're saying...

that YES, you believe that Jesus went to hell...but that, apparently, hell was remodeled into some sort of upscale hotel room during His time there? Hey, I'm thinking many folks wouldn't mind visiting hell if that's the case.Now, to be fair, I haven't given a whole lot of thought to this Jesus went to hell stuff until I found absolute proof of it in the scripture. I didn't know if He went or didn't...I just knew He went to paradise, that apparently a lot of folks were there, and He freed them.But consider that if you went to heaven, you'd be forgiven for thinking you were going to receive heavenly treatment, right? And if you went to hell, you'd be forgiven for thinking that you are going to be in for a hellish time, right?So, if Jesus went to hell, what do you imagine happened there? Jesus allowed the devil's minions to CRUCIFY HIM! To beat Him mercilessly, to torture Him, etc. So, are you saying that Jesus allowed the devil's MINIONS to do that, but the devil was utterly helpless in some way?Again, I have NEVER pictured in my mind that Jesus was somehow burning in hell. But when you think about it...you do have to wonder what's the point of going to hell otherwise? I mean, Satan's not locked in hell, is He? So why go there? And, again, when you think about it, why do we think that Jesus was beaten to a pulp on earth, but that there was not also some sort of spiritual agony as well? I am NOT proposing this. But I cannot think of a good reason to think that, DURING THIS VERY SPECIFIC TIME WHEN JESUS GAVE HIMSELF FOR US, that He did not pretty much allow anything the devil could throw at Him.

I mentioned the Lake of Fire because that is what many people think of when they think of Hell.

If Jesus did not die spiritually, what was the purpose of the Cross? Was physical death enough? It would seem, since we are spiritual beings, with spiritual rebirth as our hope of regeneration, and an eternal spiritual destiny to inherit, then the spiritual nature of Jesus' death would be most important. Was the Father's forsaking Jesus not the rending of fellowship and relationship that would be restored (and create new birth) in the work toward and including resurrection Live an epiK life!Discover More...http://www.refocusing.orgA Mission in Formationwww.bluewaterinthekeys.com
