When Jesus Christ was physically dead by crucifixion, where was His Spirit Personality ?

Question

Since our Sovereign God-Man Jesus Christ is our Universe Creator Father - Maker - Sustainer -Upholder, if Jesus had fully died on the cross, then His/our universe whould have disappeared -- and thus no you and no me here later !

See John chapter 1, and Hebrews chapter 1 where Jesus made the worlds (plural) is the correct translation, but only some Bibles have this.

Our God can never really die in Personality or in Spirit or in Divine Mind. Personality and mind-spirit relationships are transmissible or projectable. Human bodies are just temporal --"...ashes to ashes and dust to dust."

Where was our Jesus Christ during the one and a half days that His body was dead? Doing what?

Jesus only physically died for about 1.5 of our days, not "three". He was murdered by very evil men on a Friday afternoon and He Resurrected Himself on the next Sunday morning. This is not 3 days, only 1.5 or so. Jesus raised Himself just as He said He easily could as our God. "Destroy this physical body, and in three days I will raise it up again." Conflict here ? NO ! "in three days" was then just a popular idiom for "PRESENTLY" or "SOON".

Answer 1

Jesus last words were "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit" (Luke 23:46).

There is no doubt that Jesus physical body died. If he had not, there would not have been a resurrection and sinful humanity would be without a saviour.

During the time Jesus body was dead, God almighty, the creator, was still there. So was the Holy Spirit. After his death, the risen Christ "sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven" (Hebrews 1:3). I fail to see how the universe would have disappeared during the 36 hours between his death and resurrection.

Edit: The Last Supper took place on the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed (14th of Nisan). I believe that was on Thursday. It was on the following day that Jesus was crucified and his body was taken down from the cross prior to sunset on Preparation Day (the day before the Sabbath which is Saturday). It was on the first day of the week (Sunday) and very early in the morning, that the women from Galilee discovered the tomb was empty. Sunset on Friday to sunrise on Sunday equals one and a half days, but spread over three days because each day in the Jewish calendar ends at 6 pm. Check it out in Luke, chapters 22 to 24.

Answer 2

Are you thinking that God is like us? That God can only be in one place at anyone time? Why did Jesus say that He will be with them until the end of the world (Matthew 28:20). Jesus is God. He is also the Father. He is also the Holy Spirit. God has no beginning and no end. He is the Alpha and the Omega.

Even though He was what we call dead during those three days that He was in the tomb, the spirit of Jesus or of God is alive and everywhere.

Matthew 12:39-41 states: “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale’s belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” This is very specific. Three days and three nights. Not one day and two nights.

For your information, the Holy Spirit told us that Jesus was crucified on August 17. The year, 1 BC. Results verified this date to be correct.

The revelation came from the Holy Spirit Himself. I just checked it out and found it to be correct after 20 years. Study was done from 1999 to 2003. I first heard the date in 1983.

Answer 3

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, when we die, our spirit doesn't, just like Jesus's didn't. Our spirit lives for ever, if we have been saved it goes to Heaven, if you have not been born again, it goes to be with the old devil himself. And if the Bible says he was in the grave three days, you better believe he was in the grave three days, be carefull about adding to or taking away from Gods word. Now where did Jesus go, To Abrahams Paradise, as soon as Jesus gave up the Ghost it says there was a great earthquake, the veil in the temple torn into, Jewish tradition says even the temple itself cracked down the middle. The Bible says Saints starting coming up, refer back to Samuel when Saul called him up, Jesus emptied out paradise. They were somewhere in the middle of the earth I would think. One thing is for sure, no one except maybe Enoch and Elijah had gone straight up to the third Heaven where God the Father is because God is Holy and God can't look upon sin. In Hebrews it says the blood of bulls and goats cannot take away sin, but Christs perfect blood as a sinless human could. Jesus paid the sin debt for us so we could go straight up to the third heaven and be with Jesus when we die, WOW, Heaven will be beyond our imagination. Streets of Gold, I can't wait to fulfill my time here and get there. While I am here I am to be a witness for him, just like you are. We are to tell others about Jesus Christ, may God Bless You.

Answer 4

Jesus was the perfect ransom for Adam. A perfect life for a perfect life. Jesus had to die in order to give up His perfect life and when He died he went to the grave where He waited for His Father to resurrect Him.If His Father hadn't resurrected Him(Jesus) from the dead, Jesus would be still dead. If He didn't die and something lived on after, then He really didn't die, so the ransom was useless and we are all doomed. In reality, Jesus did die body or soul and spirit so the the sacrifice would be made valid.

Answer 5

One and a half days that His body was dead? Try three. The Bible tells us where He was in 1 Peter. Also as Jesus is one part of the trinity God the Father and God the Holy Spirit were still alive.


1Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
1Pe 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
1Pe 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

Answer 6

God is God, Jesus is Jesus, and the two are not the same. Jesus was placed at the head of all that God made, but he himself is not God. Jesus is, like all things created, a servant of God, and the New Testament points this out clearly. He came in the flesh to teach men of the flesh about eternal life and the Kingdom of God. God is clearly Spirit.

After he was crucified, Jesus went to Abraham's Bosom, or paradise, which happens to be the place where the spirits of God's servants throughout time have been patiently waiting for the end of times to come, so that they may be resurrected and live eternally with God, and with Jesus Christ in the New City of Jerusalem. Paradise is not heaven, and heaven is not where people go after they die.

It was not from the Bible but from the Catholic Church, that taught most of mankind that Jesus died on a Friday. Your math is correct in the sense that Jesus, if he died at about three pm on Friday and rose on Sunday, would only have been "dead" for about a day and a half. In Biblespeak, any part of a day or night constitutes a whole day or night.

Therefore, if Jesus died on Friday day, then his first day and night would be accounted for. Saturday day and night, and we have two full days and nights. However, we come to Sunday, the first day of the week, and Jesus was restored in the morning. This would mean, if Jesus died on Friday, that he would have been in the tomb 2 1/2 days not three. Therefore, who do you believe, the Catholic Church, or the Bible? I will go with the Scriptures on this and everything else. I believe that it was Thursday and not Friday that Jesus was put to death.

The Catholic Church lied about its origins (Peter never set foot in Rome let alone Italy) and has lied about everything else having to do with God and Jesus Christ ever since. (Sorry Catholics)

As for what Jesus was doing while he was separated from his body. He was teaching the servants of God, such as Abraham, David, Noah, and many many others, all about what they were preparing future generations for, which was Jesus, as well as God's plan to resurrect all of God's servants for eternity. Jesus was getting them ready for the end of this world and their new beginning. Peter speaks of this in his letter.

Answer 7

His flesh grow to be a barrier that prevented get right of entry to to the heavenly realm. Jesus’ “flesh” is spoken of at Hebrews 10:20 as being represented by utilising the “curtain” that separated the Holy from the main Holy in the tabernacle. until now he could enter heaven, the authentic “maximum Holy,” Jesus had to provide up his fleshly life and get carry of spirit nature. His physique of flesh could have been a barrier to his going previous the “curtain” as a spirit guy or woman. question: If Jesus Christ grow to be resurrected as a spirit, how can Jehovah's Witnesses say they are going to be resurrected actual? So, what did Jesus propose while he pronounced: "harm this temple and in 3 days i'm going to advance it up… He grow to be conversing suitable to the temple of his physique." What temple? What physique? “Do you no longer be responsive to which you each and every person is God’s temple, and that the spirit of God dwells in you? If all people destroys the temple of God, God will harm him; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you each and every person is.”

Answer 8

Ps. 146:3, 4 describes what happens to all humans that die. It says: "Do not put your trust in nobles, nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs. His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish."

When Jesus died, he remained dead for parts of 3 days. Matt. 16:21: "From that time forward Jesus Christ commenced showing his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the older men and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised up."

Jesus did NOT resurrect himself; God the Father did. Gal. 1:1 says: "Paul, an apostle, neither from men nor through a man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him up from the dead."

Answer 9

Peter wrote that he visited the spirits in prison. He opened up the teaching of the Gospel to those who die without the opportunity to accept it.

Answer 10

If you read the Bible, you would know that God was still in heaven. BTW, you sound like you learned to speak by reading that stupid bible that includes every synonym of every word that HAS a synonym.
