ANY denom - Who can explain what happened to Jesus when . . .

[KEPLER]

I fail to see how saying He functions in two or more things at once excludes His person. And if we are not allowed to speak of what one nature does while remaining silent on the other? Then why does the scripture do so? Is the Deity of Christ sitting down? Does God sit at all? Gee, I really hope you don't have this picture of God in your mind of a really big person with long white hair, sitting on an overlarge throne or something. That's for children's cartoons. No-one has seen God (except the Son because He is God and can see Himself) but we see Christ, the perfect expression of God. It is not His Deity we see but His humanity.

And you do realise all those old arguments regarding the faith were to act as impetus for the body's growth? We're not meant to cling to them as if they are the "be all and end all" but continue to grow in our understanding from them.

Methinks you need to go back and read the post that I was attempting to correct. I have said nothing that could lead anyone to conclude what you wrote above....

think whether or not God sits down has much to do with the OP. Could we get back on topic please :0) Thank you!

Q: Jesus, what happened between your death and resurrection?

A: (Jesus) "I ...was dead" Revelation 1:18.

Q: No, you were alive preaching in some nether world. Weren't you?

A: (Jesus) "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures" Matthew 22:29.

Q: C'mon. The theologians and preachers that I listen to don't believe you. Shouldn't I believe them, instead? Don't they interpret the other passages that people have previously used on this thread correctly?

A: (Jesus) It is written again, "I ...was dead" Revelation 1:18.

 

[Soon Rev 22:11-12]

Yes, Jesus said He was dead.

He died on the cross and was gone for three days? Does anyone know where He went? or what happened during those days before He rose on the 3rd day?

If you can, please give biblical references to support your statement. Thank you!

He was in Heaven with his Father.

 

[Mikecpking]

He was in Heaven with his Father.

Hi Bobby,
He went to his Father after ascension. Do you have scriptural support that he was with his Father between the cross and the resurrection?

He went to Paradise, a sub-section of Hades/Sheol to proclaim victory to the dead. This is also called Abraham's bossom.

Here is my list of scriptural support from a NASB Bible....which is very word for word and highly trusted:

When Jesus was on the cross and said to the thief, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise." (Luke 23:43)


Also, it is clear that Peter argues in 'Acts' that David was not speaking of himself but of Jesus, in this verse which shows Chirst going to Hades. If Jesus said he was going to Paradise and also went to Hades after His death, then we must assume the two are the same. The Bible does not contradict nor does Chirst lie.
Acts 2:31

31 he looked ahead and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that HE WAS NEITHER ABANDONED TO HADES, NOR DID His flesh SUFFER DECAY.


The thing is Hades has two parts. Paradise or what most call 'Abrahams bossom' and a side for torment. As seen here in Luke: There is a great valley in between the two, but both make up the same place.


Luke 16:23, 26

23"In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom.

26'And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.'


Here in Ephesians and 1 Peter, it is clear that he went somewhere other than Heaven to be with the Father when he died on the cross and went to proclaim victory to the trapped souls in Hades.
Ephesians 4:9

9Now this expression, "He ascended," what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth?
1 Peter 3:18-19

18For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; 19in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison,

Jesus used His keys to Hades to escape and defeat death.

Rev. 1:18
18and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.



It isn't intill the Great White Throne judgment that Hades is emptied of it's souls and they are judged, this time for eternally. To see if you go to the Lake of Fire or not. Rev. 20: 13-15

13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds.

14Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire This is the second death, the lake of fire.

15And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.
