Why Jesus Came To Hell

The Bible is a book that is full of imagery, metaphors, and mysteries. Yet we have been challenged to shed further light on one topic, that is, Jesus' descent to hell. It should not be surprising that many are not aware of its meaning. In fact, it only puzzled Christian thinkers for generations.

So we come to the question, How can St. Paul make such a claim that the Christ went to Hades? What did the apostle intend? On what basis did Paul discover this doctrine?

There are only two possibilities:

1) Hell is a place, but it is only located in a particular region.
2) Hell is a state, but it is only a passing situation in time.

Those who favor number (1) understand that hell is a place, yet they cannot pinpoint its exact location. Well, we will show you that. We will give you that precise info on hell's position.

Those who favor number (2) realize that hell is an unpleasant state, yet they cannot disregard its prevalence in a specific locality.

We are presenting these issues to you so that you can learn its significance in Christ's or Paul's time. We are explaining this because we know that you'll fully appreciate why Jesus came to hell.
