Acts 2:31; Jesus soul was not left in hell; John 19:39-41; He was only in a sepulchre or cave?

That is right for the hell spoke of in the OT. \n\nIn the NT hell is "the unquenchable fire" actually 3 different definitions in NT for hell. Greek definitions. to much to write.

I know someone gave you the scripture for John ,10:30 but that is not enough you need to read the 17th chapter of St John where Jesus is praying to the Father to be able to get the context because many people use this verse to say Jesus is God and that is not true.he was the only begotten Son of God, he was the word of God in the beginning but he is not God.

An “Immortal Soul”?\n\nThe movement teaches non-Biblical doctrines that long have been taught by sects of Christendom. One is the idea that man has an “immortal soul” that will suffer in “hellfire” if man is not saved. But the Bible does not say that an “immortal soul” lives on to receive rewards or punishments. Rather, it says just the opposite. It says the soul dies.\n\nOpen your Bible to Ezekiel 18:4. There, according to the King James Version, you will not read that the sinning soul goes into “hellfire.” Instead, it says: “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.” See also verse 20.\n\nAccording to the Bible, the dead could not be suffering in “hellfire.” The Bible specifically says, at Ecclesiastes 9:5: “The dead know not any thing.” Verse 10 of the same chapter adds: “There is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” Psalm 146:4 says of the day a man dies: “In that very day his thoughts perish.”\n\nIf the dead know nothing, and have no thoughts or knowledge, they obviously could not be suffering torments or pain, as the “Jesus people” believe.\n\n“Then what about the word ‘hell’?” you may ask, adding: “It certainly appears in the Bible!”\n\nBible writers used the Hebrew word “sheol” and the Greek word “hades,” which some Bibles translate as “hell.” But sheol and hades did not mean a place of torture at all. Instead, they simply meant the common grave of mankind—including men like Jesus who obeyed God. Yes, the apostle Peter applied Psalm 16:10 to Jesus, saying: “David speaketh concerning him [Jesus] . . . thou wilt not leave my soul in hell [Hebrew, sheol; Greek, hades], neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.” (Acts 2:25-27) Surely none of the “Jesus people” will argue that Jesus went to hellfire when he died!\n\nIn several instances Jesus used the valley of Hinnom (Greek, Gehenna), Jerusalem’s community garbage dump, to symbolize the complete destruction of those who willfully disbelieve. No resurrection hope is held out for those “pitched into Gehenna” in contrast to those in the common grave of mankind.\n\nJesus was in Hades, which is mankind’s common grave. And the Bible says that there is “no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol, Hades.” So he was out of existence in Hades, as was the evildoer.—Eccl. 9:5, 10.\n\nThen, on the third day from his death, God raised Jesus from the dead as a mighty spirit creature. But the evildoer was not raised; he stayed in the grave.—1 Pet. 3:18.

Jesus doesn't have a grave.  He was put in a tomb, but he rose from the dead three days after he died.  Jesus is alive! \n\nIf you want answers, ask him, he said ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened for you.  God is waiting for you to ask him your questions, he will not let you down!

It was always my thought that the spirit and soul were the same thing, not two separate entities. In that respect, your spirit/soul and your body could be in two different places at one, after death. The fact that you are living and etc, means they are still striving together!  :-)

No, when Jesus died, he went into the pits of Hell, an took all the believers home with him, so the man on the Cross was the first one to walk into heaven, you know then one Jesus forgave next to him.\nNow where the saints was, is still jail. But now that place is where Satan's followers go. \nTo be absent in body is to present with God, or Satan, and once your last breath is taken, your first breath is given somewhere else, and guess what, no one can pray you out of it.\nSo what praying you need to do, it needs to be done now here on Earth, cause, two books are of the soul, Satan has a book, and so does God, and where your name is, that is where you got to go.

There's no scripture to support this idea one way or another.  People are affected in different ways when in the spirit.  There was a man at my church who would run around the pews (admittedly it freaked me out a bit when he first did it) and a woman who would wail.  I think you'll find the most about the issue in Paul's stuff, but don't quote me on that.

Wrong,  flesh is flesh and dies, spirit is spirit and lives on.  There is a hell, the soul is what will be tormented and you will feel it.

Now that's a good question.  If one was isolated, and never taught about Jesus, and was basically good all through life, but, never heard of Jesus, thus, not believing in Jesus, would that person go to hell?\nAnd if he would go to Heaven, does that make Jesus a liar, since he said, you must believe in the Lord in order to get to Heaven.?

Excellent question, for those who hold that Jesus preached in hell, moreover how can Jesus be so much more loving than the God of the Old Testament when he is going to damn most of mankind to eternal punishment for not liking him and that was never the case before? If that's love....

JESUS SAID THE DEAD WERE ASLEEP WAITING FOR THE RESURRECTION\n\nGenesis 3:19  In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.  KJ Bible\n\nEcclesiastes 9:10  Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.  KJ Bible\n\nNow think about it: What happened to Lazarus when he died? Did some part of him—a soul or a spirit—leave his body and go to live somewhere else? Did Lazarus’ soul go to heaven? Was he alive for four days up there with God and the holy angels?—\n\nNo, he wasn’t. Remember, Jesus said Lazarus was sleeping. What is it like when you are asleep? When you are in a very deep sleep, you do not know what is going on around you, do you?— And when you wake up, you do not know how long you have been sleeping until you look at a clock.\n\nIt is like that with dead people. They do not know anything. They do not feel anything. And they cannot do anything. That is the way it was with Lazarus when he was dead. Death is like a deep sleep where a person doesn’t remember anything. The Bible says: “As for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.”—Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10.\n\nThink about this too: If Lazarus had been in heaven for those four days, would he not have said something about it?— And if he had been in heaven, would Jesus have made him come back to earth from that wonderful place?— Of course not!\n\n, many people say that we have a soul, and they say that the soul lives on after the body dies. They say that Lazarus’ soul was alive somewhere. But the Bible does not say that. It says that God made the first man Adam “a living soul.” Adam was a soul. The Bible also says that when Adam sinned, he died. He became a “dead soul,” and he returned to the dust from which he had been made. The Bible also says that all Adam’s offspring inherited sin and death too.—Genesis 2:7; 3:17-19; Numbers 6:6; Romans 5:12.\n\nClearly, then, we do not have a soul that is separate from our body. Each one of us is a soul. And since people have inherited sin from the first man, Adam, the Bible says: ‘The soul that sins will die.’—Ezekiel 18:4.\n\nNumbers 31:28  And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves, and of the asses, and of the sheep:  KJ Bible\nTHIS SCRIPTURE SHOWS THAT HUMANS & ANIMALS ARE "SOULS"\n\n32 What is this “death”? Death is the opposite of life. God had held before man the prospect of endless life on earth if he obeyed. However, he disobeyed, and the penalty was death, unconsciousness, nonexistence. God had said nothing about transferring man’s life to a spirit realm or to a fiery “hell” if he disobeyed and died. He had warned man: “You will positively die.” It was the man-slaying Devil who had lied in saying: “You positively will not die.” (Genesis 2:17; 3:4; John 8:44) What all men have inherited from Adam is dustlike death.—Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10; Psalm 115:17; 146:4.\n\nYOU JUST GO TO SLEEP, WHEN JESUS COMES THE SECOND TIME, IF YOU ARE WORTHY OF A RESURRECTION, HE WILL WAKE YOU UP.

FACT is this. You don't know where he is and nobody else does either. His lifestyle would suggest he was not a Christian.\n\nDid he repent in the last hours? I don't know, and you don't either.\n\nSo the answer is.\n\nIf he repented, he will be in heaven.\n\nIf he did not repent, he is toast.

Jesus said: NO MAN comes to the Father but BY ME! Jesus is the only one to die and rise again. God himself said" This is MY beloved son who I am well pleased. JESUS said many will come after me...DON'T BELIEVE THEM...so I don't believe the other who have come AFTER JESUS!

I don't know if it's in the Bible, but the difference between a "ghost" and a spirit is that a ghost is a soul trapped on Earth (purgatory if you will) and a spirit has left Earth and onto Heaven. Personally, I believe there is the spirit and that's it.

Simply by recogining you are a sinner and seperated from God the Father, The Word says in many places but one place clearly where Jesus spoke, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man commeth to the Father except by me." Jesus is referred to as the Lamb of God. In the old testament the Isrealites had to sacrifice a perfect lamb, inspected by the priests, as their sin sacrifice. Jesus came to earth humbling himself as a man. He did many miracles, showing mercy, compassion, healing many and performing deliverances. Then at the last day of His life Jesus was arrested, beaten with a whip with hooks and blades. Then he was forced in this half dead state to carry his cross through Jeruselem with one mans partial help to be nailed to that cross, stripped naked, scoffed and spit at all for our sins. He was the lamb of God. He did die within four hours as a might storm with an earthquake occurred at the moment of His death. Dead people rose from their graves. Jesus was then placed in a tomb qaurded by two Roman soldiers. Jesus went into hell to take the keys to death and on the third day as He and many prophets prophesied, Jesus arose from the dead. He spent time showing himself to many who knew Him and then arose to sit at the right hand of the Father constantly praying for his believing children. Salvation comes as simply and freely as accepting Jesus's sacrifice to pay for your sins. Much more will be revealed as He will give you  His Holy Spirit to counsel you. One day every knee will bow and every tounge confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of the Father. Make Jesus your Lord now!
