Did Jesus Suffer in Hell? Part 1

[Herb Evans]

Please. The things that David suffered in the flesh were types and shadows of spiritual truths concerning Christ. God never forsook David, even though according to what David could see his enemies were prevailing. Also, many martyrs appear to be forsaken by God when they suffer, but they aren't forsaken. My God, my God! Why hast thou forsaken me finds it's ultimate fulfillment in a spiritual truth concerning Christ.

The sorrows of death and pains of hell find their ultimate fulfillment in Christ, not in the carnal experiences and puerile understanding of David.

You did not answer my question. Did David suffer hell fire? Now, if what David said was not what happened to Jesus, How do we know that it was these things that happened to David that happened to Jesus rather than hell fire? It was you that coupled their experiences together. -- Herb Evans

 

[Herb Evans]

Of course, the "lake of fire" is not a literal physical fire. It is the wrath and fiery indignation of a righteous God. But what else here on earth can be likened to it?

That sounds like what the JW's teach in that fire is not fire but a mere symbol. Pray tell, how do you know that? Have you consider the rich man that was tormented in the flame? Was that real fire? -- Hreb Evans

 

[Aaron]

You did not answer my question.

Yes, I did. Twice.

*sigh* Nevermind. :BangHead:

And so I refer you again to Psalm 73:4.

You are not the one who died.
Obviously, but I know what is feared in death.

Quote:
My Bible teaches me there is a "sting" of death. If somehow you can remove it, good luck,

Your Bible also teaches you that the sting of death is sin. When sin is removed, the sting is gone. Have your sins been washed away? Do you have faith that Christ will present you holy and blameless to His Father? Then for you there is nothing more to fear in death. There is no more sting.

Aaron, not to be disrespectful but you speak as a foolish man to try to make me or anyone think you know what physical death entails. You keep referring back to Ps but that does nothing to tell you how it will be in death. If it were written word for word, you still would not know when the Bible says there is a "sting" to death. My friend, you do not know what that sting feels like and how much suffering it is. Also, the scripture tells us that Christ suffered in death.

I can't believe what I am reading. You are the first person I have ever ran in to that says there is no suffering to death. Jesus said He would not forsake us, even in death, but we still will suffer the sting.

I do not know why you would say such a thing when it only makes you look bad and unlearned. It serves no purpose whatsoever and yet it brings harm to you in the eyes of the beholder.

Best decision that you've made so far. -- Herb Evans

Sorry For the Long Read...But Doctrine Needs Expalining!

OK, Now that you have offered your opinions I will tell you what happened from the Bible. Hope you like reading...

Just kiddin', here is my take on the matter...like it, lump it, bump it or dump it!

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness ...

So here we have man made 3 parts...Spirit, Soul & Body.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.


Then we have Christ becoming a man to be crucified...Praise God!

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us...

So here again we have a man 3 parts...Spirit, Soul & Body.

All agreed so for?

The next is an important verse in your KJV bible!!!!

1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.


We have a sin-sick soul and the "soul" that sinneth it shall die...

Christ was not a sinner, he took our sins upon himself...in his body.

NEXT:

Luke 23:44-46
(44) And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour.
(45) And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.
(46) And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

When we die our spirit (small s) returns to the God who gave it.

We die and God takes our spirit, when Christ died he GAVE up his spirit...no mere man can let his spirit go...he was the God-man...hallelujah! (see Ecclesiastes 8:8)

NEXT:

Hebrews 9:1
(1) Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.
Regarding the tabernacle.

Hebrews 9:6-12
(6) Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.
(7) But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:
(8) The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:
(9) Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
(10) Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.
(11) But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
(12) Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

NEXT:

Christ's body is in the grave! Christ's spirit has gone back to the Father!

His soul went...take it easy now Mr. Independant, Fundamental, KJV only baptist!

Psalms 16:10 For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Acts 2:22-27
(22) Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
(23) Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
(24) Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
(25) For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
(26) Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
(27) Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.


Acts 2:30-32
(30) Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
(31) He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
(32) This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.


Bear with me brethren...if the Bible means what it says Jesus' soul went to hell when He dismissed His spirit.

Am I saying that Christ needed to suffer in hell to finish the sacrifice for our sins, Absolutely NOT!

John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.


1 Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust...

So what then do I see?

Leviticus 16:20-21
(20) And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:
(21) And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:

I see here a fore shadowing of Christ taking our sins away to the pit of hell!

He not only paid the price for our sins but got rid of them in the fires of hell. Glory to God!!

NEXT:

Did he stay there for 3 days? NO

When a sinner goes to hell, we know he can never leave, correct?

The only exception was Jonah because he was a great type of our Lord Jesus Christ! (Jonah 2:2 & 6)

So I repeat:



If the sin was in His soul and not His body He couldn't have escaped! (Ezekiel 18:4)

After the Cross work was complete Christ took the keys of hell and of death!

Revelation 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.


There is bondage in hell, there are gates in hell, there are bars in hell...it is a prison!

NEXT:

If Jesus died at the ninth hour and the Hebrew day ended at the 12th hour Jesus needed to be in paradise by that 12th hour! He said the thief would be with Him that same day!

Luke 23:42-44
(42) And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
(43) And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
(44) And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until theninth hour.


So what do we have so far?

Jesus died, offered His blood in the Holy of Holies, rent the veil, took ours sins to hell, took the keys of hell and death and now He is off to keep the appointment He made.

 

[Bobby]

...continued

The only way to heaven is through what? The shed Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen?

Exactly the reason why the Old Testament saints were waiting for Christ to take them from Abraham's bosom to heaven!

Hebrews 11:13 These all died in faith ...
Not works or in the law...FAITH.

Exodus 34:6-7
(6) And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,
(7) Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation.

Sins were forgiven but the record could not be cleared without the precious Blood of Christ!

Back to the under world...the study of who He preached to in prison can be another topic, I'll let it alone for now.

So after the great reunion in paradise for 3 days it was time to move on! God's clock never misses a beat!

Matthew 27:50-53
(50) Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
(51) And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
(52) And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
(53) And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

They were prisoners of hope...now resurrected, so were they like the night of the living dead?

Resurrection is not about death and corruption, but about life .

Think about Lazarus, Jonah, Jesus...etc ; they did not resurrect into old corrupt bodies.

Ephesians 4:8-10
(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.)

So what do we have for three days?

Jesus died.
Offered His blood in the Holy of Holies.
Rent the veil.
Took ours sins to hell.
Took the keys of hell and death.
He kept the appointment He made.
Spent the three days there with the OT saints.
They had a street meeting.
Then ascended to heaven with the Lord.

Thats My Story And I'm Sticking To It! \/

Jesus suffer in Hell alright but it was not the Hell where the lost souls are. When He suffered it was for the sin of the world. Those in Hell where the rich man is, there was no reason to suffer for them, for they are lost.

His Soul never died and hell is a place of confinement and Jesus's hell was when He was confined to the Cross. Its the only place I read where He was confined and His soul still with Him.

Jonah was in the belly of the fish and out of the belly of hell cried I.

Some were confined in their graves and it was a type of hell.

Jesus had no reason to go to Hell of torment they were already lost.

Again, the same scripture is talking about His body not seeing corruption which He was only 3 days in the tomb and arose. His

Soul in Hell IMO, is when He was confined to the cross for our sins for that is where He paid the price.
