Did Jesus spend 3 days in hell?

Did Jesus spend 3 days in hell after his death on the cross? The apostles creed makes it sound that way, but the bible has little support of it. Where did Jesus really spend those 3 days?

The Apostles Creed

1. I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:

2. And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:

3. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary:

4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell:

5. The third day he rose again from the dead:

6. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:

7. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead:

8. I believe in the Holy Ghost:

9. I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints:

10. The forgiveness of sins:

1l. The resurrection of the body:

12. And the life everlasting. Amen.

I think he went toCabo.

Are you sure thats what it is? I thought it says he ascended into heavenAdamPA1006

Well, i would consider most of Jesus' life, documented life anyway, hellish.

wrong translation. There is no "He descended into hell" in line 4.

5. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again.

EDIT - The main problem is that there is like a million versions of writings because its been translated/rephrased like a million times.

Where would you get that from?

I went to Catholic school and they told me his spirit went to hell for three days. That's the extent of my knowledge on the subject. LordsLoss

Must have been a surprise for Jesus seeing as he was Jewish and didn't believe in hell... :lol:

I could see that but even if the translation is wrong, it still does not answer where he spent his three days which is the underlying question.

Well apparently there is a Passion of the Christ: Extended Version but Mel Gibson is holding off on releasing it until he really needs the $$, so who knows what answers that might provide!!! ~ GPS

Why is this not just in your sig?

I have found a clip that actually may help shed light on this question...

He didn't have to spend those three days anywhere, as in a literal place. He may of just simply been dead.

Yeah, and LOTR doesn't explain the stories of Frodo's children.Nibroc420

Frodo did not have children. He remained, like his uncle Bilbo, a bachelor for life.

Hell is an invention of the church, so no he didn't

This would make sense.

He lived by his own word, and taught it to others.

The concept of Hell contradicts the benevolence of God.

Why support the concept of Hell, if scripture barely does...

Well folks, it looks like a 2 way tie so far between3 days in hell and 3 days in alternative universe playing mario cart. I am torn now, didn't think it would be so close. Hopefully more voters tune in. This isn't a large enough sample size to determine a conclusion anyways.

If you solely base it on the bible, then no. If you use evidence of Jesus other than the bible then, wait there is no evidence of jesus outside of the bible.

Assuming he did go to hell... what would the reasoning be?

Fighting Satan on his own turf, clearing Hell of all souls. This is a concept in Christian theology known as the "Harrowing of Hell".

Do you reckon in those three days he was made to eat oysters and waste money?

Also, sending your son down to fight Satan and die for everyone's sins, only to let Satan beat him up for three days and not have his back. Ultimate dick move.

So, I would love to live in Hobbiton. I wonder if the beers/ale the hobbits drank tasted better than the ones we have around. Perhaps a bit more magical.

Hell dosen't exist, neither was Jesus a prophet.ModernMuhCow

Jesus wasn't even real.

I dunno, maybe to visit old friends? Satan used to be good before he turned to the dark side and joined forces with darth vader. After that things turned for the worse.

Hewas a real person. I know you feel had ever since mom and paps lied to you about santa, the easter bunny, and the tooth fairy but jesus did really live, whether he was a liar, lord or lunatic is the only question. Try barnes n nobles they got some books to make you sound like less of an igornant idiot in the future.

At first I thought you were just taking stuff from Spawn, but I googled it and it turns out it's a real thing. :oops:

Am reading the wikipedia article on it now.

give me some evidence that jesus was real other than the bible before you call me ignorant. I have done more research than you, and I know for a fact that I am smarter than 99% of this forum.
