Where was Jesus for the three days between his death and resurrection?

Well, that's my point... many people, many opinions, see?
Rarely (if ever) have I seen this topic discussed where everyone is on the same page.

"There are many problems with that view. I will point out a few of them.

1) God pronouncing judgement and the destruction of the ENTIRE WORLD for the trivial supposed sin of blue bloods marrying so-called lower classes makes no sense whatsoever. And woefully impugns the character of God IMO.

2) There is not one single case post flood of God rendering devastating judgement for such a supposed sin. Yes, the offspring of Abraham and Israel were to maintain their integrity in this regard. But this was with respect to religion.....not RANK. And there is nothing said and no warning whatsoever as far as gentiles and the Church is concerned.

3) There WERE in fact real literal (six-fingered and toed) inhuman giants NOTED from at least Abraham and undoubtedly earlier.

Well then why was it so that these "heightened humans" were specifically marked out for wholesale EXTERMINATION like cockroaches by Chedorlaomer, Edom, Moab, Moses, Joshua, Caleb......and by the command of YHVH at the conquest of Canaan?

"BTW.....there is only ONE post flood judgement of severe magnitude that destroyed an entire territory and everyone in it:
Sodom and Gomorrah.
What kind of sin was so grievous in God's eyes in that case? "Fornication/going after strange flesh".

Jde 1:7
Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Certainly not nobles marrying scullery maids."

 

[Locoponydirtman]

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: by which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

Greetings, Dirtman.

If you could, give me a breakdown of the full passage. I've been trying to get CV5 to provide me one because proper interpretation of the passage is the crux of the question at hand in this thread.

17 It is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil. 18 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19 by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20 who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. 21 There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

While I appreciate your thoughts on this subject and the effort that you've put into studying the Word... but I think that we'll have to agree to disagree, for now.

I am not seeing that any of this "expressly/precisely" places Jesus in Tartarus (the place of the wicked). And so, I remain
unconvinced that He ever did so.

I do believe that Jesus went to "Believer's side of Abraham's Bosam/Shaol/Hades"... but am not willing to accept the idea that He went to the "other side".

I think its very self explanatory.
He went into the prison where the disobedient who died during the flood are kept to preach to them.

 

[cv5]

I do believe that Jesus went to "???Believer's side??? of Abraham's Bosam/Shaol/Hades"... but am not willing to accept the idea that He went to the "other side".

Reading in terms of context, comprehensiveness leads to only one conclusion.

1Pe 3:19
By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
1Pe 3:20
Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

Its a slam dunk.

 

[Locoponydirtman]

The Apostles creed states it this way, "He decended into Hell".

The proper interpretation must include ALL of the parallel passages. Which I have earlier provided.
Days of Noah, fallen angels, prison, chains, Tartarus, strange flesh, sons of God daughters of men, Nephilim......its all one complete package.

The time constraint is DAYS OF NOAH, and not any time afterward. Not days from Adam to Jesus.

 

[soberxp]

I’m assuming he was saving the captives. The righteous who had died before him that were in Abraham’s bosom. Also I read a verse that says he may have gone to Hades to proclaim to the spirits that rejected his name in the days of Noah. Anyone have any insight on this?

God never gave up as us.

 

[Nehemiah6]

The Apostles creed states it this way, "He descended into Hell".

And that should have really been "He descended into Hades". We know this from two verses of Scripture where it is Christ who speaks: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in [Hades], neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Acts 2:27) For thou wilt not leave my soul in [Sheol]; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (Psalms 16:10) In both instances the King James translators used "hell" incorrectly, and caused a lot of confusion,

When the Lord Jesus Christ dismissed His spirit on the cross, His soul and spirit went to Sheol/Hades for three days and three nights. While He was there He preached to the spirits in prison. Actually He proclaimed His victory on the cross, and that word should have been "proclaimed" (Gk kerux). Even the souls and spirits of the righteous dead were in "prison" since they had to remain in Sheol/Hades (not Hell) until the resurrection of Christ.

On the day of His resurrection, when Christ first ascended to Heaven He took all these OT saints with Him to Heaven. Therefore "He led captivity captive". Those saints are presently in the New Jerusalem, and since the day of Pentecost God sees them as "the spirits of just men made perfect". He also sees them as "a great cloud of witnesses.

CV5, what I'm asking for is an exegesis; a breakdown verse-by-verse of the entire passage, defining how you interpret every word in every phrase. It's rarely something I get, however, so maybe I shouldn't even be asking, but in order to evaluate whether an interpretation holds water or not, the entire thing has to be analyzed in its context, and for us to do that, it would take you presenting yours and seeing if it holds up to critique in context. That's why I was asking for your exegesis of 1 Peter 3:17-22.

Are you saying Christ‘s soul never went to hell to preach to the spirits in prison?

 

[Nehemiah6]

Are you saying Christ‘s soul never went to hell to preach to the spirits in prison?

The spirits in prison were in Sheol/Hades, not in Hell (the Lake of Fire). Hell is presently unoccupied. The evil angels occupy the atmosphere while the demonic spirits occupy the bottomless pit. Satan is free to roam on the earth for a season.

There were three groups of spirits in the lower parts of the earth: (1) the righteous dead (Hades), (2) the unrighteous dead (Hades), and (3) the angels which kept not their first estate (Tartarus). All the spirits heard Christ proclaim His victory over sin, death, Satan, Hades, and Hell. "He went and preached to the spirits in prison" can be stated as "He went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison". Then "He led captivity captive".

The righteous dead needed to hear this and rejoice, since shortly they would all be taken to Heaven as a result of the finished work of Christ. Jesus said "Thou wilt not leave my soul in Sheol/Hades" because He knew -- without the shadow of a doubt -- that He would rise from the dead after three days and three nights. Jonah pre-figured Christ in this, so His resurrection was "the sign of the prophet Jonah".

If you believe that "the dead know nothing" and don't believe in spiritualism, the answer is easy.
Jesus was dead.
Ecc 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

I recently taught on Tartarus which is in Greek Mythology too. Now Greek Mythology has it’s origin in the Stone Age and the word appears in the Greek New Testament.

It is my understanding that Abraham’s bosom and Tartarus both are in Sheol (Hebrew).

I also, wrote a post about the core of the Earth. The inner core is a solid mass and he second core is a liquid. In case you’re interested, the inner core moved freely being adjacent to the liquid second core. Gravity and te magnetic field causes the solid core to rotate, in 2009 the solid core quit spinning, scientists say it may have reversed course.

It’s just peculation, but the Second core may be the Lake of Fire.

Tell the rich man that hell is not occupied.

plus, man’s soul is at stake not the spirit. Fallen angels have no soul, just spirits.

There is plenty of reason to assert that 1Pet 3:16 spirits are (evil) spirit (47x).
They are disobedient after all. Denying, discounting or ignoring the intentional connection to the "days of Noah" is poor exegesis to say the least. And as I said several times before, it is ludicrous to think that Jesus is proclaiming to human souls who died EXCLUSIVELY in the flood and not ALL souls up to His own time. Is Sheol compartmentalized into time eras as you think? Not a chance.

No, the connection to the days of Noah and the flood and the JUDGEMENT of the flood can only mean one specific group is being marked out: pre-flood fallen angels who God cast into the Tartarus prison in chains for future judgement.

1Pe 3:19
By which also he went and preached unto the spirits G4151 in prison;
1Pe 3:20
Which sometime were disobedient, when G3753 once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
