5 thoughts on “God went through hell so we can too”

  1. Jesus never has been God and never claimed such thing. Jesus really died, whilst God cannot die, and really went into the sheol or hades or hell (the grave) . Jesus was taken up from the dead as an example to what can happen to us.


    1. I believe Jesus really died, really went to Sheol/Hades/grave, and really was resurrected from the dead (& that one of the reasons was to demonstrate what can happen to us) but it sounds like we have different ideas of who Jesus is and what being dead is like…


  2. Though being dead, i.e. without life in the living soul (the being or the body) is a general aspect to which non-believers and believers do agree what it is. Is it according to you perhaps something different?

    We can be clinical- biological and/or brain dead, but in all those cases there is the cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. Phenomena which commonly bring about death include aging, predation, malnutrition, disease, suicide, homicide, starvation, dehydration, and accidents or trauma resulting in terminal injury, people falling asleep for good start In most cases their bodies of living organisms beginning to decompose shortly after their state of recognised death.In all the above cases there is a termination of social and familial bonds with the deceased.

    Likewise it was with the Nazarene master teacher, the King of the Jews, Jeshua (Jesus Christ) who was taken from the piece of wood when there was no sign of life any more,and put in the grave (sheol). We do believe he was taken out of the grave by his heavenly Father. By not doing his own will, what he would have done when he would be God, Jesus offered himself for all the sinners. God after Jesus his death made him higher than angels (before he was lower; though God is always and shall always be the Most Highest) and took Jesus to be with Him in heaven to be seated next to him (and not on God’s seat) to be a high priest for God and to be a mediator between God and man (what you do not seem to believe because you take Jesus to be God himself and nobody can be a mediator between himself).
