You haven't shown that the Bible is wrong. Your the one making claims. Prove you are right.

You have interpretation issues. When the KJV was translated, "hell" was a proper translation for Hades.
Jesus said to that man on the cross, "Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise." Luke 23:43. We know from prophecy Jesus soul was not left in Hades, Acts of the Apostels, 2:27. So at that time Paradise was a place in Hades. We also know Paradise was moved to Heaven based on the Apostle Paul's experience, 2 Corinthians 12:2-4. And the inerpretation is Jesus took the souls from the upper comartment of Hades to Heaven when Jesus ascended to Heaven at the end of His 40 days on earth after His resurrection, Ephesians 4:8. This with the understanding Abraham was in the upper compartment of Hades, where as the lost went to the lower compartment, as God revealed to Moses, Luke 16:31; Deuteronomy 32:22. With what seems like poor interpertation skills, I cannot expect you to understand this to be able to believe it.
There is no difference? It's obvious you hate the KJV.I didn't say the BIBLE was wrong. I said the KJV mistranslation of 'hades' is wrong. 'Hell' is the lake of fire.

I'm not impressed by anything you have to say.What's ACTUALLY obvious is that the KJV's rendering of hades as hell is wrong.
Jesus spent 3 days & nights in PARADISE, as He said He would, and Scripture affirms, including in the KJV.

Where was Jesus for three days?
the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all - from Isa 53:6
for him who did not know sin, in our behalf He did make sin, - From 2 Cor 5:21
for the wages of the sin is death - From Rom 6:23
that Christ died for our sins, according to the Writings, - from 1 Cor 15:3
In the eyes of God the Father, was the dead Jesus clean or unclean?
For those three days and three nights, what was the status of our sins?
Were Peter, James and John still in there sins?
Was the soul, Jesus, dead in Hades?
Jesus plainly said He'd be in the paradise area of hades.
Luke 23:43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
Where was paradise prior to Christ"s resurrection and His ascension?
First of all, one needs to know why 3 days. Jesus waited 3 days before he went to the tomb of Lazarus to raise him from the dead. There is something about 3 days passing as proof one actually died.
Paradise is not, nor ever was beneath the earth. Paradise is considered to be the Garden that Adam and his descendants were banned from. That is where the tree of life is. John in Revelation states it is under the alter, because until the Atonement was made, with the words, "It is finished", the Garden was still off limits. The Law was over and Paradise was once again able to be entered. Upon death, Jesus's spirit entered Abraham's bosom, because immediately the OT saints were all released at the same time, so Jesus' Spirit was in and out of death (Abraham's bosom)instantly. Now here is the part about one's spirit. It is always present with God, even in death. The thief who went to paradise was in the same crowd as all who die in Christ. The soul and spirit are joined, but there is no body. What Jesus promised was that the thief's soul was placed under the alter, paradise. The first one to arrive, and be with God as promised. The OT saints, and Jesus arrive after Jesus met Mary, and then he left with the OT saints to go to Paradise.
Now for three days, the Ghost with the soul of Jesus and all the OT saints walked about Jerusalem. They could be seen, but only in ghost form. No spirit, and no tangible body. After the 3 days, there was the resurrection into heaven of Jesus and all the OT saints. Now in paradise, reunited with their spirit, under the alter, they all wait until the full body of the church is complete and joining them in a new glorified body.
Jesus returned to earth with his glorified body, and appeared several times until after 40 days he bodily ascended, and as promised will return in like manner, when the 6th seal is opened in heaven.
Jesus' body was left on the cross after death, then it was placed in the tomb, then it just turned to dust and is no more. Those in Abraham's bosom, had no physical bodies, all dust, all gone. They were only soul, and ghost, intangible bodies. All, current death, bodies turn to dust, some faster if cremated. Souls go to Paradise, under the alter, or the place of torment and death.
It was evidently moved to the third heaven, 2 Corinthians 12:2-4, ". . . caught up to the third heaven. . . . caught up into paradise, . . ."Same place it is now - it's part of hades.
