Assuming this is true, why would Jesus have not died at the "end of the world", preached the redemption gospel to everyone in the history of the world that has died, and allowed all of them to see direct evidence of his sacrifice? Why come in the middle, preach to some in hell (if so, there would be no reason to say "nah, I think I'll hang down here, you guys enjoy peace, joy, and the A/C in Heaven."), and offer salvation by faith to others. If he wanted us to worship him through faith and choose to love him, why wouldn't he have come wayyyy earlier in human's recorded history to allow more people to serve and worship him in this way?

Jesus did preach to the spirits in hell, but it wasn't a salvation message. It was a message of victory over satan. Like the story of the rich man and Lazarus, it was too late for these people to believe in Jesus.

Jesus was there to celebrate with those who believed in a coming Messiah, but died before Jesus came on the scene. So Jesus' timing to come earlier or later is a moot point. There always were those who believed and did not believe in Jesus and there will always be those who will believe and not believe. There is nothing new under the sun.

because they were so blinded by what they wanted, and what the devil wanted them to see, that they couldnt, and wouldnt admit that they were wrong. And the bible is not very detailed in what Jesus did when he "descended to the depths" but it is clear that he went to hell. Some people say, that before Christ died on the cross, and there was a clear choice between whether to believe or reject, that people went to sheol. A place where they would wander until the messiah came. The may have been where Jesus went after his death, and he may not have been an obviously living person, because he did die, and he had not risen yet. So it is possible that those in sheol thought that he was just another guy that died, and now he is preaching that he is the messiah. But do some more research. Find a study bible, those have helped me alot.

Jesus already did his work and already died for the sins of man, but the men who were already in hell well too bad and Jesus wouldn't have to go to hell and preach that is ridiculous for you to even ask that question why do you think he would have went to hell if you were Jesus would you want to be in hell you wouldn't even be able to b/c JESUS IS PURE and Jesus would not be in an uncleanced place ok

God sent His only begotten son to earth as a ransom sacrifice for all mankind regardless of when we lived on earth. Jehovah did not plan for man to sin. He intended for all of mankind to live in the Garden of Eden for all eternity. However, because He gave us free will to allow us to make choices. Man chose to willfully disobey His one commandment because of Satan's lies. As a result, Jehovah banished all from Paradise to suffer mortality. The Bible tells us to have faith in Him and His son as our redeemer. We must ask for forgiveness from Him through His son, Jesus. We must also live by His commandments, of which there are eleven. The eleventh one being, "Love One Another", in the New Testament. He has given us the Bible for us as a guide to live by while we are here on planet earth. Faith alone is not enough. If we willingly obey Him out of love and keep His commandments, we will have everlasting life through His son's ransom sacrifice on the cross. This He has promised us. If we sin, we must ask forgiveness from the Father, through His son, Jesus. We must have true remorse and repent (meaning we will never do it again), if we are to be forgiven. God reads hearts. There is no where to hide.

As we look at life today, our entire system is collapsing. Satan is in total and complete control of the earth. Jesus WILL come again to fight Satan and hurl him into the abyss for a thousand years, then he will be let loose again to tempt us. This will not happen until mankind has suffered horrible events. The events in the book of Revelation are unfolding before our very eyes. Just look at what's happening in the world. The evidence is all around us.

Jesus did NOT go to hell and preach to anybody. That is a scriptural misunderstanding. Jesus remained in the grave for three days and nights.

that's my address it. those are the disobedient people who mocked Noah and drowned in the flood. Being in penitentiary denotes that they have got been waiting judgement that's the 2d resurrection that's the resurrection of the unsaved. The bible teaches us that while we are lifeless, we don't get yet another threat to settle for Christ or as in the previous testomony, turn to God. "that's appointed to guy to die as quickly as, then comes judgement." What human beings do no longer understand is this be conscious "carry forth" in the greek may additionally mean "made proclamation to" as that's translated in countless the bible variations. i think of it particularly is in easy terms announcing that Christ confirmed himself to them after He died and proclaimed what He had finished on the circulate, no longer they had a gamble to settle for him while they had died. Who does no longer settle for him once you're in the spirit realm and can see with evidence that God exists and that hell exists. it particularly is why we could make the alternative right here in the international.

Jesus CAN'T go to hell, he's perfect. It's not possible. And everyone in hell believes in Jesus, Satan knows Jesus is real. Once you die, you're going to know he's real, it's rather you follow him or not. And once you're in hell, there's no getting out, period, you're there forever. Burning, suffering, and always away from God. In luke 6: 24 it says "And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.'" How many times after you run miles and you're sweaty and hot and in anguish, how many times to you run to the sink and get ONE drop of water and then say "oh man, that was enough for me, that was so refreshing" Here, even if you just had one drop, you'd do anything to just have one drop because you knew it wouldn't be possible to have any more... or any of that at all... it's scary...

God did come early in human history. in fact, He made human history. and He made human.
He has always been here, it's just that after a while, satan got into some people's lives and people started doubting God.

Jesus /God doesn't want worship.
Hosea.6:6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
He want our undiluted love.
