What is the reference for Jesus going to hell to preach the gospel?

There are two references that have been understood to mean this, both from 1 Peter. In chapter 3:18 the author refers to Jesus preaching to the spirits who were in prison (NIV) and in chapter 4:6 he refers to Jesus preaching to "those who are know dead". Some commentators have taken this to mean that Jesus preached the Gospel to spirits in Hell between the time he was crucified and raised, but not all agree on this.

What are the importance of inculturation?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe purpose is to try and make the Gospel understandable to someone who lives in a different culture. It would be analogous to speaking the language. You can not preach the Gospel in English - or Hebrew - or Latin to someone who lives in Japan, they wouldn't have a clue what you were talking about. You first must learn Japanese to be able to preach the Gospel. In the same way, to make them understand the Gospel message you have to be able to apply it in a way which makes sense to that culture. It is important because otherwise you are not going to be able to be understood and you will not be able to get Jesus' message across.
Why is the length of Jesus' public ministry in John's Gospel different from that in the synoptic Gospels?
A:New Testament scholars have traced the stories of the mission of Jesus in the synoptic gospels and find they involve a period of apparently less than one year. This does not mean it could not actually have been somewhat longer, but this is all that is found. Luke's Gospel states that John the Baptist began to preach in 28 CE, thus suggesting that the crucifixion of Jesus could have been in 30 CE. John's Gospel makes it clear that, in the author's view, the mission of Jesus took three years, with Jesus going to Jerusalem for the annual Passover festivals. It can not be assumed that the author of John somehow knew more than the other authors, since it has now been established that the anonymous author of this gospel based it loosely on Luke's Gospel. Assuming Luke is correct on the date on which John began to preach, the crucifixion of Jesus in John's Gospel could not have been before about 33 CE.

Does the bible say Jesus dipped his soul in hell?
The Canonized Bible does not contain this, in fact there is no reference to Jesus even going to Hell. There may be a reference to this (these) in the Apocrypha, the uncanonized books often contained within Bibles used by Catholic Churches. There is a reference to Christ preaching to "the spirits in prison" (1 Peter 3:19). Some have taken this to mean that Jesus went to Hell and preached to folks in Hell. Others have taken this to mean that Christ preached the gospel to those in Sheol, a shadowy place in between Heaven and Hell, that contained those who died before he came. But this is the only reference that can be interpreted in this way.

Why is paul considered the man most responsible for spreading Christianity?
Paul was prohibited by the Holy Spirit from going into Asia, and instead went into Europe. From Israel to Turkey to Greece and eventually even to Rome he was able to preach the Gospel to the masses. (He actually had plans to go as far as Spain) Churches were founded as a result of Paul's ministry and they continued to preach the Gospel and multiplying throughout time leading to today.
Is Christianity easy to follow?
Not all the time. It has its ups and down. But that's the whole point to following Jesus and being his disciple. He never promises that everything is going to be perfect, you may be persecuted, and martyred for what you believe, but its worth it. Because the Gospel we are called to preach gives Eternal Life. And Jesus is always there with us and as he promised will never leave us nor forsake us. Give your life to Jesus and the Holy Spirit will come to live inside you and overtime your fears will diminish.
