Answer 1

Answer 2

Hey Mr. Roger M.,
I know you meant to write Jesus when you typed the name Jesis so I will go on and answer you.
Christians all over the world just celebrated the Passover and right at this moment we know that 2000 years ago Our Lord lie in the tomb. His Body dead, but not His Spirit.

Jesus did not go to Hell as Hell as you say has not even been opened yet. It will have it's grand opening just after the White Throne Judgment.

Jesus went to all the dead, (liable to die) on the wrong side of the gulf to bring the Good News to them that they might have Salvation as we have in our time. He is wonderful in that He wants us all to be with Him in Heaven.

Go now and read the four Gospels for the full story.><>

Answer 3

Ephesians 4:8-10 says:
8Therefore it says,
"WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH,
HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES,
AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN."

(Now this expression, "He ascended," what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth?

He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.)

Also in I Peter 3:18-20 we read.
For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison,

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

and again I Peter 4:5,6
but they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God.

The first of these passages in I Peter refers to Jesus proclaiming His victory to the fallen spirits in Hades (same as Sheol, and commonly referred to by the English word hell).
The second passage refers to Jesus announcing the Good News of the release of those held captive in Sheol, awaiting the redemption of Messiah (Christ).
For a description of these two compartments in Sheol, see Luke 16:19-31
This is a fulfillment of an prophecy in Isaiah 49:24,25 :
"Can the prey be taken from the mighty man,
Or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?"
Surely, thus says the LORD,
"Even the captives of the mighty man will be taken away,
And the prey of the tyrant will be rescued;
For I will contend with the one who contends with you,
And I will save your sons."

Answer 4

Matthew 12:40 (English-NIV)
For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Some might consider that hell. But then others might consider that the time he was dead before he rose.

The 'Heart fo the earth" sounds like a grave,'his tomb'. I do not think they would be calling hell a heart of anything.

Answer 5

Jude 5-7 the unclean spirits were in hell until the final judgment
day and He went there to preach that He had the Victory over
death. This gets into intense teachings, just giving you a brief
synopsis.

Answer 6

The Apostles' Creed reads:

"I believe in God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord;
who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen."

This particular creed, known since the Third Century in the Western Church, draws reliably from the New Testament in general. However the phrase "He descended into hell" was evidently derived from an unusually-worded portion of Peter's First Epistle which says:

"He (Jesus) was put to death in the flesh, but he was raised to life in the Spirit, in which also he went and preached to the disobedient spirits who were in prison in the days of Noah when God waited patiently while the ark was being built...For this is why the gospel was preached even to the dead so that, although they have already been judged in the flesh like men, they might have life in the Spirit like God." (1 Peter 3:18-20; 4:6)

Answer 7

I'm not a biblical scholar, but I am a Christian. Here's my best attempt to answer you.
Heaven is where God lives. Where God is, there is life, love, peace, joy, mercy, hope, perfection and good. God doesn't live in hell. Therefore, in hell, there is no life, no love, no peace or joy or mercy or hope. Instead, there is endless death [whatever that may mean] and sadness. Simply put, hell is separation from God.
We know that while Jesus was on earth, He was innocent of all sin; that is, He was perfect in every way. Only God is perfect, so only Jesus could be God. He was tempted by Satan, but never succumbed to him (Luke 4). At His death, Christ could endure all things: being tried at night in a monkey court, betrayed, left alone, spat upon, lied about, publicly mocked and humiliated, whipped and crucified and yet still say before He died, "Father [God], forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." (Luke 23:34).
How then, do we know He went to hell? We know if you have sin, you are imperfect and therefore you cannot enter Heaven, just as if you had a contagious disease, you cannot visit someone in the hospital, or you'd contaminate the place. We have one sentence which proves that Jesus finally took on sin, not of His doing, but He took on my sin, your sin, and the sin of the world and it is this: "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" (Mark 15:33). For the first time, Jesus was blinded by our sin, so that He could no longer see His Father, God. God never left Him, but because Jesus now had sin and was no longer perfect, He became like us now, where we cannot see God. We know that God says, "I will never leave you or forsake you." (Joshua 1:5), and if He said that to imperfect humans like Moses and Joshua, He most certainly would never leave or forsake His only Son. However, the sin Jesus willingly took upon Himself split the Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages [penalty] of sin is death" and we know that death is in hell because life is in heaven. You know how the split atom bomb changed history forever in a second at Hiroshima? Imagine how the split of the Divine Trinity for 3 days of separation changed the world forever. That separation was the price to be paid so that when God raised Jesus from the dead, He said that it was enough. Death/Hell would never be final for those who believe in Christ, because by believing in Him, they would always have that power of the resurrection in them. Romans 6:5 "If we have been united with him in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection."
I hope this helps to make the glory of Easter more relevant to you.

Answer 8

It's spelt Jesus.

And where in the bible does it say Jesus went to hell for 3 days.

He actually went to the spirit world for 3 days and preeched the gospel to people who hadn't heard it.
