How can Jesus be God if Jesus went to hell for three days?

In the fairy taile, The Bible, Jesus wasn't God.  He was the son of God, and as the son of Mary, half human, which entitles him to go to hell just like the rest of us (if it actually existed, that is).

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.

Jesus is not God. He never claimed to be God. At John 3:17, does it say that God came to earth? No. It says that God sent his Son, not himself.\n\nThe scripture you used at John 8:58 is another trinitarian "proof" that Jesus is God. But is it? The expression at John 8:58 is quite different from the one used at Exodus 3:14. Jesus did not use it as a name or a title but as a means of explaining his prehuman existence. Hence, note how some other Bible versions render John 8:58. \n\n1869: "From before Abraham was, I have been." The New Testament, by G. R. Noyes. \n \n1935: "I existed before Abraham was born!" The Bible—An American Translation, by J. M. P. Smith and E. J. Goodspeed. \n \n1965: "Before Abraham was born, I was already the one that I am." Das Neue Testament, by Jörg Zink. \n \n1981: "I was alive before Abraham was born!" The Simple English Bible. \n \n1984: "Before Abraham came into existence, I have been." New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.  \n\nThus, the real thought of the Greek used here is that God's created "firstborn," Jesus, had existed long before Abraham was born. Colossians 1:15; Proverbs 8:22, 23, 30; Revelation 3:14. \n\nAgain, the context shows this to be the correct understanding. This time the Jews wanted to stone Jesus for claiming to "have seen Abraham" although, as they said, he was not yet 50 years old. (Verse 57) Jesus' natural response was to tell the truth about his age. So he naturally told them that he "was alive before Abraham was born!\n\nThere is no Bible verse that says Jesus is Almighty God.

Jesus is not God, he is the Son of God who lived upon this earth to be a testimony to God's existence, grace, and purpose in our lives.  He struggled with demons and temptations the same as we do now. He walked the walk of man so that he could be a testimony to God's power and greatness, His forgiveness and love.  He worships God, not himself.

If you claim that Jesus was only one of these three choices:::\n\n1) A lunatic (for claiming to be God in the flesh)\n2) A liar (for claiming to be God in the flesh)\n3) Exactly who He said He was (God in the flesh)\n\nthen you give me no choice but to say he was a liar.\n\nHowever, there are a lot more possibilities than the few three you give.\n\nJesus could have been one of the many people thought to have been the messiah, but that were proven wrong by time. Even the book of Acts in the Christian's New Testament lists two such false messiahs, Judah the Galilean and Theudas. \n\n          Act 5:36-37  For before these days rose \n          up Theudas, boasting himself to be \n          somebody; to whom a number of men, about \n          four hundred, joined themselves: who was \n          slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, \n          were scattered, and brought to nought. \n          37  After this man rose up Judas of \n          Galilee in the days of the taxing, and \n          drew away much people after him: he also \n          perished; and all, even as many as obeyed \n          him, were dispersed. \n\nWhat if the followers of Theudas or Judah the Galilean said the same thing, that either they were who they said they were, or they were lunatics or liars, or the messiah, with no other choice?\n\nAnd the reason they say that Jesus was only a good man and not Gd, is because we have Gd's promise in Hosea 11:9, where He said, "..for I am Gd and not a man." We have the same thing in Numbers 23:19 \n\n          Numbers 23:19 "Gd is not a man, that he \n          should lie; neither the son of man, that \n          he should repent: hath he said, and shall \n          he not do it? or hath he spoken, and \n          shall he not make it good?" \n\nwhich means IF Gd were a man, He would be a liar, since all men lie. IF Gd were a man he would need to repent, since all men sin.\n\nGd becoming a human, or a human becoming Gd, is the hallmark of the pagan faiths, where the stories of children of a god and a human mother, or the incarnation of a god, were told. Pharaoh thought he was a god, and the emporers of ancient empires were thought to have been gods, or the children of gods.

He didnt keep him from dying. He saved him by bringing him back from hell after 3 days. In that, he did save him from death.

He wouldn't . . . but what I don't understand is why people who do believe in Christ . . . invalidate his sacrifice by saying that Jesus is God.\n\nBy doing that . . . people who believe . . . can not be saved.  Because it would not a fulfilled the law . . . to make it possible for believers to be redeemed.

So-called "Christians" do not understand the truth about God's will and purposes. Something as fundamental as the nature of "hell" remains a mystery to them...\n\n"Hell" is simply the common grave of mankind, so EVERYONE who dies goes there to await resurrection on the last day.\n\n(Acts 24:15) there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous\n\n(John 11:24) Martha said to him [Jesus]: “I know he [my brother] will rise in the resurrection on the last day.” \n\n\nHell is NOT someplace/something we need to fear; there is no suffering in the grave.\n\n(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all\n\n(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]\n\n(Ezekiel 18:4) The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.\n\nThe bible says that Hades ("hell") will be done away with:\n(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire\n\n\nFaithful, patient Job requested that he go to "hell":\n(Job 14:13) O that in She´ol you would conceal me\n\nEven Jesus was in "hell" for three days:\n(Acts 2:27) you will not leave my soul in Hades ["hell"]

There is only one sin that will send you to hell and that is rejecting JESUS CHRIST as your personal savior. John 3:18-19\nIf someone truly excepts Christ as their savior they do not want to continue to live a life of sinfulness. 1 John 3:9-10 explains this quite adequately. Rather than wondering how much sin you can commit you should be wondering how to become more like CHRIST... you can not have a relationship with the world and with CHRIST  James 4:4 . Just simply acknowledging that GOD exists is not becoming a Christian. Even the devil believes in GOD in this manner and I assure you that he is not going to \nheaven. Look up Romans 10:9-10 for a study on how to be saved. I hope and pray that you truly submit to the LORD SHIP OF CHRIST in your life through a relationship with HIM.\n~GOD BLESS YOU AND LEAD YOU INTO ALL TRUTH~

Christ was to go through the gates of hell and spent three day there in the "grave" verse 21.  He was saying that not even death could keep Him from establishing His Church!\nLexicon Results for hades (Strong's 86)\nhades {hah'-dace}\n1) name Hades or Pluto, the god of the lower regions\n2) Orcus, the nether world, the realm of the dead\n3) later use of this word: the grave, death, hell

The myth goes that Jesus gave his life to assume the burden of our sins. The myth is, of course, a load of codswallup. \n\nHow does the crucifixion count as an appropriate sacrifice? Quite simply answered, the correct response is; "It doesn't."\n\nJesus spent a few hours, maybe a day, in agonizing pain; but it was no greater pain than millions of others have suffered. In fact many people have suffered greater agony for more extended periods of time virtually every day since the dawn of Man. \n\nIf Jesus really is God (or the son thereof), then He knew exactly what was happening, and exactly how long it would last. There was nothing about the event for which he was unprepared to deal with on a physical, psychological, or emotional level. If there WAS something he was unprepared for, then he could clearly not be God, or the son of God.\n\nWhen it was done, He supposedly ascended to heaven and became the all-powerful ruler of the universe. This is infinitely greater compensation than even the faithful will receive, and infinitely less torture that the damned will receive.\n\n-SD-

My personal opinion is that in order to get to Heaven one must believe that Jesus was the Son of God who came to earth, was crucified upon the cross, buried, rose to claim victory over death on the third day and ascended into Heaven.  It is through this faith that I am given grace and pardoned of my sins so that I may live eternally with my Savior and God.

You choose to accep or reject the gospel.  You cast yourself into hell.  He has provided a way so you don't have to go there.

Jesus is lord. the sabbath was so men would not work seven days a week, and get sick and die, from not getting enough rest.

He was crucified in the morning, and he died at 3pm.\n\nPeople here need to get this right. He was crucified in the morning and died in the afternoon. He lasted on the cross for around 6 hours.\n\nMark 15:25 "And it was the third hour, and they crucified him."\n\nAccording to experts, Judaeans started their timetelling after sunrise, which is presumably 6am. Hence the third hour from 6 am is 9am. "Third Hour" does not refer to the third hour from noontime, but third hour from sunrise.

If you have accepted Christ as your means of salvation then it is heaven if you have not then it is hell and since you have to ask it is most likely hell as anyone saved knows that he is saved through the gift of the Holy Spirit.\n\nJoh 3:3  Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. \nJoh 3:4  Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? \nJoh 3:5  Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. \nJoh 3:6  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. \nJoh 3:7  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. \nJoh 3:8  The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.\n\nIf you would like to be sure of where you are going and you would like it to be heaven then say this prayer from your heart out loud and he will honor it.\n\nDear God\nI truly want to know where I will go when I am dead and these people well most of them are saying I need to accept Jesus Your son to get there\nPlease dear God help me to believe\nHelp my faith\nOpen my heart as I pray these words\nI admit that I am a sinner and not worthy of heaven\nSo I ask you now to forgive me all my sins as I now chose to accept the death of Jesus Christ your only begotten Son on the cross of Calvary as payment in full for all my sins\nWash me with His blood and make me white as snow\nRenew my heart and send the Holy Spirit to live within my heart and to guide me all the days of my life from this day forward\nGive me your peace and show me the life you want me to live\nI accept the Holy Trinity ….. Father Son and Holy Ghost three persons yet one true God\nI pray all this in faith and in the Holy name of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ \nAmen
