Bible Question : Did Jesus suffer in Hell?

Question

After the Cross, Jesus went to hell before He was raised again on the Third Day. Did He go as King of Kings or he went as a sufferer? Writers like EW Kenyon said it is the latter.

Answer 1

The Savior's suffering ended the minute that He voluntarily died, the minute that His work was completed.

He went to preach to the "spirits in prison" 1 Peter 3:19-20.

He told Mary at the tomb that He had not yet ascended to His Father. He ascended after He received His resurrected, perfected body, then returned to greet His faithful followers.

Answer 2

That's a rather interesting question.

Christians say that Jesus suffered on the cross for two reasons:

1. That he was bearing the sins of the world.
2. That G-d turned his face to him

So if G-d had turned his face to his only son until resurrection, then it could very well have been that he suffered in hell. He may not have suffered the way that a human would, but perhaps even seeing all those people in hell would cause him to suffer.

I don't think that he would have suffered like one condemned there eternally though.

There are some Christians that beleive that he made the pit stop in hell to liberate those trapped there that were chosen to go to heaven.

Answer 3

To answer the question: No! He was not a sinner. He was perfect. The whole subject of suffering in hell, implies that this is God's way of punishing wrongdoers or sinners for their actions. No wonder millions have turned away from religion! To elaborate on punishment and suffering; any parent who causes his/her child extreme pain and/or suffering, (as the worlds religions teach about hell and hellfire), can and should be put in prison! Just this week, the mother and father of an 8 year old, were charged with murder, because they beat their child to death(As a form of church discipline)! As a father and grandfather, I abhor even the thought of punishment by torture and suffering. However, this is what Christendom is teaching when they say that the wicked are punished in a place of fiery torment. How could anyone think that God wanted this, or that He would do this himself? Any so-called Christian religion that suggests that this is what the Bible teaches, is clearly promoting false beliefs,and should be recognized for what it is; part of false religion!

Answer 4

exciting question, Acts 2:31 The be conscious translated here as 'hell' in many bibles is the greek be conscious 'hades' yet below is a few information that may assist you spot how they ought to be translated fairly in the scripture speaking approximately Jesus. Webster’s Dictionary says that the English be conscious “hell” is comparable to the Hebrew be conscious Sheol and the Greek be conscious Hades. In German Bibles Hoelle is the be conscious used fairly of “hell”; in Portuguese the be conscious used is inferno, in Spanish infierno, and in French Enfer. The English translators of the authorized version, or King James version, translated Sheol 31 circumstances as “hell,” 31 circumstances as “grave,” and thrice as “pit.” The Catholic Douay version translated Sheol sixty 4 circumstances as “hell.” in the Christian Greek Scriptures (usually called the “New testomony”), the King James version translated Hades as “hell” each and all the ten circumstances it occurs.—Matthew 11:23; sixteen:18; Luke 10:15; sixteen:23; Acts 2:27, 31; Revelation a million:18; 6:8; 20:13, 14. The question is: what form of place is Sheol, or Hades? the fact that the King James version interprets the only Hebrew be conscious Sheol 3 diverse techniques exhibits that hell, grave and pit mean one and an identical ingredient. And if hell potential the regular grave of mankind, it could desire to not on an identical time mean a place of fiery torture. nicely, then, do Sheol and Hades mean the grave, or do they mean a place of torture? The Hebrew be conscious Sheol and the Greek be conscious Hades mean an identical ingredient. it is shown by potential of finding at Psalm sixteen:10 in the Hebrew Scriptures and Acts 2:31 in the Christian Greek Scriptures. be conscious that for the period of quoting from Psalm sixteen:10 the place Sheol occurs, Acts 2:31 makes use of Hades. be conscious, too, that Jesus Christ became in Hades, or hell. Are we to have confidence that God tormented Christ in a hell of fireplace? of direction not! Jesus became purely in his grave. wish that facilitates.

Answer 5

Jesus descended to the dead, He descended to Purgatory and not hell, that is the KJV. He descended as King of Kings. It can not be hell as we Christians know that once a soul is condemned in hell, that soul is lost forever. That soul can never leave hell. Kin_2, if you are a Protestant, do read up the Catholic bible. It is found in the book of Maccabees which the Protestants(Luther) threw out!!!

Answer 6

Hell isnt created yet, the people that are dead are resting until judgment day. THEN hell will be created and have plenty of vacancies. So I wouldnt think that he suffered anything but mockery and rejection preaching to the dead if that is in fact what he was doing.

Answer 7

He went as the King of Kings, he did not suffer, he preached his word and those that accepted it were taken out of hell to paradise to await judgment day.

Answer 8

Jesus did indeed go to Hell, but it was his persecution and crucifixion before his death which was his Hell. There is no such thing as Hell after death. Hell is what we create and experience in this life, and is caused by the actions we take.

Answer 9

The modern implications and inferences applied to the word "hell" after it's original use in the creed.

The original intention was:
"hell" = "the land of the dead"

The whole objective of the creed was to indicate that Jesus was, indeed, REALLY DEAD when they buried him and not just severely injured.

Answer 10

As the King of Kings victor over death and the grave....If He had gone as a sufferer how could He have set captives free?
