God is righteous and man could not live up to God's law and inherited death. God is all knowing and did have a plan to save his creation and that plan was to come to the world in the form of man to overcome temptation and to remain perfect and to pay the penalty fo death for those who accept the atonement. Hell is the grave and Christ did go to minister to those that were before him. he was then resurrected in all of his glory. Christ overcame sin and death for all of those who accept his atonement.

There is nothing symbolic about the death and resurrection of Christ. Adam was perfect. He could have had perfect children who lived forever. BUT he became sinful and imperfect. After that, he could only have sinful and imperfect children. Christ and his Father in heaven decided that they could lovingly change that situation by transferring the life of Christ into a human mother, keeping him screened off from her so as not to inherit the sinfulness and imperfection, and allowing him to be born as a second perfect man--a second Adam. They decided that people could choose--their natural ancestor or the perfect substitute who gave his perfect human life up once and for always so they would be able to be free of this imperfect inheritance from the first Adam. After he died, he went to the grave for parts of three days. The Bible calls it hell but it is not hell in the most commonly accepted sense because there is no consciousness, no burning and no suffering in the hell the Bible is talking about here. God resurrected him in the same way that he caused the fish to spit Jonah out of the big fish. All the stories in the Bible relate to eachother and to God's Kingdom in some way. Jesus' death as a perfect man is what allows us to choose life or death. Otherwise, we would just die and remain dead forever.

Jesus died for our sins. He payed the price for us. God knew that this was going to happen. Jesus is our lord and savior. God raised him from the dead in order to sit next to him in heaven.

1 Corinthians 15:
16 For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. 17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins!
That says it all!

Jesus never rose from the dead. Therefore your 2 other questions are moot.

It shows that there is more to our being than just here on earth. As far as the reurrection, yes his father raised him, and yes he was in hell. Aren't you.

What regarding the thief on the go? In Luke 23:40 3 we examine, "And Jesus stated unto him... at present shalt thou be with me in paradise". How replaced into the thief stored devoid of obeying the recent delivery Plan of Salvation? the respond is, the thief actually lived in the previous testomony dispensation and did not have get right of entry to to the Baptism of the Holy Ghost as all of us understand it at present. it fairly is made clean in John 7:39, "yet this spake he of the Spirit, which they that have confidence on him could acquire; for the Holy Ghost replaced into not yet given; on account that Jesus replaced into not yet glorified". The Baptism of the Holy Ghost or the recent testomony inheritance would desire to not acquire till the testator died. Hebrews 9:sixteen-17. The thief replaced into not stored in accordance to the recent testomony Plan of Salvation that's cutting-edge in Acts 2:38. what's the recent testomony Plan Of Salvation? only thought? settle for Christ? connect a Church? Pay dues each week? NO! Acts 2:38 is the place the genuine plan is chanced on. "Then Peter stated unto them, Repent, and be baptized everybody of you in the call of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall acquire the present of the Holy Ghost". Repentance, Baptism in Jesus call, and the journey of the Holy Ghost have been the keys to the dominion spoken approximately in Matthew sixteen:19. they are the fulfillment of the delivery of the WATER and of the SPIRIT in John 3:5, and the resurrection potential of the church as recorded in Romans 8:11. As there replaced right into a dying, burial and resurrection in the existence of Jesus; so repentance is our dying to sin, Baptism in Jesus call is our burial, and receiving the Baptism of the Holy Ghost is our resurrection (to stroll in newness of existence). The church at Jerusalem believed this plan in Acts 2:38. The Church at Samaria believed in Repentance, Baptism in Jesus call, and receiving of the Holy Ghost in Acts 8:12,sixteen,22. The church at Caesarea additionally affirmed this fact in Acts 10:40 4-40 8. The church at Ephesus obeyed Paul's preaching and have been baptized in Jesus call and won the Holy Ghost, Acts 19:5-6. As you will discover, believing in Jesus is important, yet whilst they believed, those human beings in the e book of Acts went directly to REPENT; be BAPTIZED in JESUS call, and won the HOLY GHOST (Which comes with the evidence of talking IN TONGUES because of the fact the SPIRIT provides the utterance - Acts 2:4).
