No! The confusion is because of the translation error (Acts 2:31). In Greek 'hell' is 'gehenna' (lake of fire) which will be functioning only after the final judgment in the future (Revelations 20:11-15).

After his death Jesus did go to 'hades' (Greek) whose equivalent in Hebrew is 'sheol.' Both mean the 'abode of the dead' or 'netherworld.' Hades or Sheol has two compartments--a restful place and a tormenting place (Luke 16:19-31). He went there to deliver the righteous people from the restful place and transported them to heaven (Ephesians 4:8-10). The rest will wait until the day of judgment (Revelations 20:13).

There is no record of how big the true cross of Christ was. In fact, there was no exact standard for how large a Roman cross was.
