How did Jesus descend to Hell?

Answer 1

first of all, he didnt go to hell... but how does anyone go... noone knows. A: This belief is from Roman Catholic teachings, mainly the 'Apostles Creed', where it says, "He decended into hell and rose again on the third day." It is not biblical.

Answer 2

A:The pseudepigraphical First Epistle of Peter says that after Jesus had been put to death and before he ascended into heaven, he was "made alive in the spirit, in which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison [the dead in hell]" (1 Peter 3:18-19).

Answer 3

7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) (Ephesians 4:7-10)

1Peter 3:19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

There is no record in the gospels of Jesus preaching to spirits in any prison. That's why this scripture is thought to refer to the time when He was dead, before He resurrected.

Two witnesses to the same thing: the Apostle Paul and Saint Peter.
