How Much Hell Did Jesus Suffer?

[jimmyjimmy]

If my sin has earned me an eternal punishment, how did Jesus satisfy that debt in less than three days?

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

If the wrath of God was poured out on Jesus for just three days, how does that cover our eternal debt?

He Says So.
(but not "our" eternal debt)
Only for a few. (i.e. qualified by His Word, as He Says)

 

[Eryk]

It's the fact that he died - that is our salvation (Col. 1:22; Heb. 10:10). The amount of time between his death and resurrection is not the issue. When he died, that was definitive. He conquered death by rising again (2 Tim. 1:10).

Was His suffering eternally?

Was His suffering eternal?

It did not have to be. The fact that God would incarnate, and suffer the cross, and die for us, and conquer death - the fact that HE did it - you can't measure the worth of that sacrifice with a stopwatch or the emergency room pain scale.

Do unforgiven sinners suffer eternal damnation?

Do unforgiven sinners suffer eternal damnation?

Quickening the mortal body to put on immortality over rides death I would say.

Jesus ... is ... God. God ... takes ... the ...burden ... of .... debt. Our account is credited....in full (i.e. for those who are wise enough to make the necessary withdrawal).

 

[Neogaia777]

Do unforgiven sinners suffer eternal damnation?

Yes... But, what kind of eternal damnation, what is the eternal damnation, would require explaining...

And also, why they are unforgiven too...

God Bless!

 

[Eryk]

Do unforgiven sinners suffer eternal damnation?

Yes, but the power of God is such that he can do the work of salvation in far less time. Christ could die and rise again. The damned merely die and stay dead forever (the loss of all blessings). Christ did not have to be dead for an infinite amount of time in order to save us. He only had to die in order to die in our place.

Is that what separates sheep from goats: wisdom? Are you wiser than your neighbor who isn't a Christian?

 

[Neogaia777]

Jesus suffered during his life here, all kinds of things mentally, that many cannot even comprehend, he suffered spiritually during his life here, and at the cross, and three days in hell preaching, suffering it all like it was nothing the entire time, his suffering ended when he ascended...

I'm going to say "yes" and "no"...because I'm neither a Calvinist nor an Arminian.

Christians are told to be as wise as serpents and as gentle as lambs or is that doves

What in the world does Calvinism have to do with it? You said: "for those who are wise enough to make the necessary withdrawal" did you not? If so, my questions are fair ones.

Yes. They are, but how does that relate to this subject?

Yes, I'm wise enough with the opportunity that God Has afforded me...

You tell me ... I was just trying to relate to the wise-dom part of your question

The poster who spoke about wisdom implied that only people who are wise will be saved.

Saved from what? Rewards? The 1000 yrs or eternity? Maybe Revelation 2-3 might be Jesus' answer to the churches.
