These are some emails my Mom and I exchanged. She posed a good question, and I would be interested in hearing other peoples input on this. Easter is coming soon. Thanks in advance.
I have wanted to ask you for sometime now and I always forget.
Why did Jesus descend into hell for 3 days and what did He do there???????
Love you Mom
I am not sure if this is a joke or not. He went to hell for us sinners, so we don't have to. I would like to think Jesus was kicking Satan's ass playing chess. lol
Happy Valentine's Day Mom
I love you Marc
No it wasn't a joke. I always thought that I had heard He went to hell because before His death there was no forgiveness of sins and after His death and resurrection there was and He went to hell to reclaim those people who may have followed Him Love mom

Jesus' desent into hell was for the purpose of taking the faithful to heaven. That's the easy answer.

I have never heard of there being two compartments in Hell. Is one of them the non-smoking section?

Originally posted by josephwOK, I've read that. So, where in that passage does is mention two sections in Hell?
Read luke 16:20-31
Notice verse 31
From my understanding of that, Abraham is in Heaven, and the rich man is in Hell.
Is that wrong?
And I missed the significance of verse 31 in regards to Hell Div 1 Hell Div 2.

i dont believe God descended into hell, isnt that something made up by Christians and never actually mentioned in the bible? i think that since God knows everything before it happens, he knew Jesus would sacrifice himself for our sins so they were forgiven long before it really happened.

Some people assume that God operates in time like we do. But it's not like that. He can see our entire life like a map, as if it has already happened, but still is happening and is yet to happen (if you know what I mean).
And our sins are only forgiven when we ask God for forgiveness.
