Acts 2: 25-27 in the King James version reads, in part, “David speaketh concerning him [Jesus Christ], . . . Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell,* neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption."  This implies that Jesus was, as you say, in 'hell' for a period of time.\nHowever, the original Greek word used here and translated in the King James version as 'hell' is Hai'des or Ha'des.\n\nThis word closely corresponds to the Hebrew word Sheol used in the Old Testament which simply referred to the common grave of mankind.  It is unreasonable to think that Jesus was tortured after his death since he had never sinned and there was no need for him to be somehow tortured after his death in order to redeem mankind.  \n\nThe idea of 'Hell' being a place of eternal torment for the wicked is not supported in the Bible, but is an idea that was introduced from other faiths, obviously, in an attempt to keep people in line.

Jesus?\n\n\nIf Jesus died, he was not God.  Does a god die?\n\nIf Jesus died on Friday, undied on Sunday, what was the sacrifice? He sacrificed at most, just a few hours. Big deal!\n\nIf you gave to a charity on Friday and it was returned on Sunday,  what was your gift to charity?\n\nDeath = Becoming permanently dead, no life, no possibility of life.\n\nSacrifice = giving up something to help others, never to be returned.\n\nGod = Eternal, never being born, never dying.\n\n\nYou believe in this Jesus nonsense?  Why?

You've got it mixed up. This is the actual scripture:\n\nFor God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.\n\nNowhere does it say God killed Jesus.\n\nGod gave his Son to the people to show His eternal Love for us. \n\nThe misguided people killed Jesus.

According to the tradition, Jesus resurrect himself 3 days after he dies, he roll the rock cover of the cave and go out, then he see his shadow, another 3 millienium of Christianity.

yes, they are going to hell for not believing this: you can go to heaven if you get saved and the way that you get saved is if you believe that Jesus died on the cross from your sins, rose on the third day, and then you have to confess to God in prayer that you are a sinner and that you believe He died on the cross for your sins and ask for His forgiveness on your sins and it is THAT simple, salvation is a free gift, we can't earn it. I am a baptist who believes (let me rephrase that, I KNOW) that this stuff I said is true. Dont be shy to contact me on this by going to my profile.

People didnt die right away, it was painful and they were nailed to a cross and left hanging bleeding to death, thats why people say he died after they crucified him.

Jesus did Die. \n \nJesus did Rise from the dead. \n\nBut Jesus never died the second time. Instead He went straight to heaven exactly forty days after he rose from the dead.  \n\n The Wages of sin IS death... Jesus died on the cross to pay for all the sin in the world. He paid for it so that we wouldn't have to pay for it. He died for all sin... He was sinless, so he was a perfect sacrifice. All we have to do is accept his gift. He is offering you it. Just accept Jesus as your Savior. Accept what he did on the cross for you. If you don't, you will have to pay for your sins in Hell, for an eternity.

Jesus died for our sins

Before Jesus came, people were bound by the law and the keeping of the law. In other words, if you believed in God, you kept the law, did your sacrifices to God, did what God said, etc., you went to Heaven. But the lawmakers of the time were so mean, they made it where no one could keep the law. They asked ridlculous things of the people.So Jesus came, to make obeying attainable. Once Jesus came, he was crucified for the sins of the world. On the 3rd day he rose, then ascended into Heaven, where he sits at the right hand of the Father, God. Now, all you have to do is believe that Jesus died, rose again, confess your sins to him and ask for forgiveness, and you will go to Heaven. So, the people before Jesus came that did what they were asked of God to do are in Heaven.

Our Lord Jesus was 33 years old when he was crucified and He rose up on the 3rd day.

He was resurrected on the third day after his crucifixion.  He remained on Earth for 40 days before ascended into Heaven (unlike rockinpacker's answer of Jesus "descinding" into Heaven).  That's why his body wasn't found.\n\nWell, if you think about it...his body was sort of found.  He appeared to more than 500 people during his last 40 days on Earth before the Ascension.

Okay, this is my understanding of it from all I've read here on Y!A and elsewhere... Please correct me if I've made any mistakes...\n\nIn the beginning, God made a bunch of rules. Those who followed them went to heaven and those who broke them went to hell.\n\nBut they were really difficult rules, so God decided to send Jesus to the world. Jesus was God's son, but he was God Himself, too. Plus the Holy Spirit. And the "Word made Flesh". And many other things too.\n\nJesus's mission was to spread the word of God, his Father (i.e. Himself), but he was also our Saviour. This he accomplished by dying. You see, everyone is a sinner, and no-one can live up to God's rules. God seems to have realised that in due course. He could have, say, changed the rules or just absolved us all by fiat, but this whole kill-My-son (i.e. Myself) thing seemed easier.\n\nJesus was predestined to die for our sins. It was his calling. This is why he hid from the Romans like a fugitive, and why Pilate, Judas and the Jews are all condemned for their complicity - because they wanted to kill a man who wanted to die and was preordained to die. Their crucial role in carrying out God's plan to redeem us all is why we should hate them today.\n\nWhen Jesus, who willingly died and could have prevented it if he had wanted, was on the cross, he called out 'Father, why have you betrayed me?' This means, 'Father (i.e. myself), why have You (i.e. I) abandoned me (i.e. Yourself) when I'm carrying out the mission that you (i.e. I) decided to undertake in the first place?' This is because God, who is omnipotent, could not bear to look sin in the face, and Jesus (i.e. God) had become sin at that moment. Then Jesus died.\n\nExcept he didn't die. He spent a long weekend somewhere and then he was resurrected. So Jesus died for our sins, but he didn't die. He was raised again and now sits at the right hand of God. Except that he is God. But anyway, we can all go to heaven now, where we couldn't before Jesus died/didn't die for us.\n\nOf course, we can still go to hell. Jesus died for our sins, but it doesn't count unless you accept him as your Saviour. Plus, if you're Catholic, you also have to confess and repent and atone. And if you're Protestant, it doesn't much matter anyway, because God decided where you were going before you were born. Plus there's something about wine and thin little wafers.\n\nSo then... what have we learnt? Well, God's law is eternal, but God's law is really harsh so He gave us a hand by sending His son/Himself to die. Except that he didn't die. Because he died/didn't die, people can go to heaven. But they still have to follow God's law, or else they'll go to hell. Just like it was before God sent His son/Himself to die/not die on the cross in order to absolve/not absolve us of our sins.\n\nI hope this clears up any misunderstandings... It's all very clear and logical when you approach it the right way.

Actually if you think about it, Jesus committed suicide. He died for our sins, so he had prior knowledge of his demise. So in actuality Jesus was a sinner who died for other sinners.

With every inch of my being. He died on the cross for evryone so that we did not have to automatically go to Hell if we sin, which everyone does. We can be forgiven just by sincerly asking him and this is the greatest gift of all. He is also the only way to Heaven and the only way to God.

I get you.  One god created hell and has spots reserved for each of us there and another god, Jesus, died to save us from it.

I agree. i think that they are mad at us christians b/c we preach to them, they get mad at me for saying this sometimes: I know that you can go to heaven if you get saved and the way that you get saved is if you believe that Jesus died on the cross from your sins, rose on the third day, and then you have to confess to God in prayer that you are a sinner and that you believe He died on the cross for your sins and ask for His forgiveness on your sins and it is THAT simple, salvation is a free gift, we can't earn it.

God doesn't want to send anyone to Hell He made Hell for satan and his followers. God doesn't "send" you to Hell. You go there because of your sin. And with sin you can't be near God. So you spend eternal separation from Him. God loves you and he wants you to go to heaven but he loved you so much that he gave you the will to choose if you wanted to worship and love him. So before Jesus died for our sins it was very hard to get into heaven. So God died for His world that He created and made a way into heaven. And that is Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and the Light.
