Answer 3

I believe the Bible explains this pretty well, but people have looked over it on purpose. Jesus had to have be separated from the presence of God (Hell) in some fashion in order to pay for our sin. Remember, the Bible says He "became" sin. Since separation from God is what true "death" is, He was separated for a time. I can't say I understand fully what it entailed, but yes, the Bible says He went. Psalm 16:8-11 says it. Peter repeated these verses after Jesus resurrected in the book of Acts 2:25-28.

Answer 4

Because he was human and all humans go to Hell when they die because hell is really only the commom Grave of Mankind, he did not do anything there because he was not conscious in there, no he was not tortured being tortured would need consciousness but the dead are not conscious of anything at all(Ecclesiastes9:5) The idea of Hell that is believed in this world by people are tortured in a fiery hell forever, that idea is flawed and unreasonable ! Because it paints God as a saddistic cruel God, and it is a lie spread by the devil and his demon angels to try to make people to think that way and turn away from God, even a human with any small amount of decency would not be able to watch a person endure torturehour by hour day by day alone to organise such torture for any person! Some call this just judgement on the part of God. Would that type of torture be a just punishment? No it would be highly unjust a human being 's life spans over70 or 80 years, in which the sins of a person would be limited in such a life span, it wouldn't be a fair thing to torture them forever in such an unjust way, For instance, have you ever seen someonesomeone tortured Hopefully not!
Deliberate torture is sickening, and abhorrent What though of torture inflicted by God? Can you imagine such a thing?
Yet this is exactly what is implied by this teaching of Hellfire, a central doctrine in many religions,Imagine, for a moment, the following horrific scene. A person is being roasted on a hot iron plate. In his agony he screams for mercy, but nobody listens, the torture goes on and on hour by hour, day by day---without any pause!
Whatever crime the victim may have commited, would not your heart go out to him? What of the one who ordered the torture? Could he be a loving person? In no way! Love is merciful and shows pity. A loving father may punish his children, but he would never torture them!
Never theless, many religions teach that God tortures sinners in eternal hellfire. This is claimed, is devine justice. If this is true, who created that terrible place of eternal torment? And who is responsible for the excruciating agonies inflicted there? The answer would seem obvious. If such a place really exists, then God would have to be creator of it, and he would be responsible for what happens there.
Can you accept that? The Bible says:" God is love."(1John4:8) Would a God of love inflict torture that even humans with any measure of decency find revolting? Surely not!
Still, many believe that the wicked will go to a fiery hell and be tormented forever. Is this teaching logical? The human lifespan is limited to 70 or 80 years. Even if some one perpetrated extreme wickedness for his whole lifetime, would everlasting torment be a just punishment?No it would be grossly unjust to torment a man forever for thelimited number of sins that he can commit in a lifetime.Who knows the truth about what hapens after we die?Only God can reveal this information, and he has done so in his written Word,

Answer 5

Well, if I had a one way ticket to go to hell because of my sins and He took my place and paid the price, then I believe as the bible says that He in fact did.

Act 2:25 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:
Act 2:26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
Act 2:27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

And all I can say after that is, Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Glory to God! Thank You, Jesus!

Answer 6

Harrowing of Hell

This is the Old English and Middle English term for the triumphant descent of Christ into hell (or Hades) between the time of His Crucifixion and His Resurrection, when, according to Christian belief, He brought salvation to the souls held captive there since the beginning of the world. According to the "New English Dictionary" the word Harrowing in the above connection first occurs in Aelfric's homilies, about A.D. 1000; but, long before this, the descent into hell had been related in the Old English poems connected with the name of Caedmon and Cynewulf. Writers of Old English prose homilies and lives of saints continually employ the subject, but it is in medieval English literature that it is most fully found, both in prose and verse, and particularly in the drama. Art and literature all through Europe had from early times embodied in many forms the Descent into Hell, and specimens plays upon this theme in various European literatures still exist, but it is in Middle English dramatic literature that we find the fullest and most dramatic development of the subject. The earliest specimen extant of the English religious drama is upon the Harrowing of Hell, and the four great cycles of English mystery plays each devote to it a separate scene. It is found also in the ancient Cornish plays. These medieval versions of the story, while ultimately based upon the New Testament and the Fathers, have yet, in their details, been found to proceed from the apocryphal Gospel of Nicodemus, the literary form of a part of which is said to date back to the second of third century. In its Latin form this "gospel" was known in England from a very early time; Bede and other Old English writers are said to show intimate acquaintance with it. English translations were made of it in the Middle Ages, and in the long Middle English poem known as "Cursor Mundi" a paraphrase of it is found.

Answer 7

Yes. Hell is not a place of torture. That is a pagan concept. In the Bible, hell is nothing more than the common grave of mankind. At Acts2:25-27, it says that Jesus went to hell when he died.

Answer 8

Jesus did not go to Hell, He went to the place where souls gather in death. That is not Hell.

Answer 9

Yes, he went to a part of hell called purgatory. That's where the souls were kept that were before his time. He collected them up and took them to heaven.

Answer 10

he went down there because he paid the penalty for our sin but he was sinless so he had the power to get out again and take the keys to death from hades
