Hi Bob, again. I am really interested in the idea that "Jesus descended into hell" and stayed there 3 working days, according to the Bible, and apparently preached to people and brought out souls, etc., and was struck by the lunacy of the thought that Moses was ever in hell, so following that idea I picked up my trusty Strongs, the most exhaustive word concordance known to man, isn't it? Under "hell" there is no scripture peratining to Jesus with association with hell, as in "descended into hell, per my Episcopal creed. Hades is a Greek word, not used in the Bible I could not find it anyway.
Anyway, please be kind enough to quote that verse(es) for me about Jesus being in hell for three days, as I'm coming up blank, and I know its there somewhere.
It must be, as it has been made a set doctrine. But then there is a seeming contradiction when he says to the thief beside him that "today you will be with me in Paradise". So, all I'm ever after is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but, as everything more than 3 inches away from the scriptures' exact translation is usually wandering out in the boonies somewhere.. |
