is generally considered the absence of God. In the Apostle's Creed is the statement, "He descended into Hell. On the third day he rose again from the grave" which is meant to say that for 3 days Jesus was apart from God. Although I have seen some far fetched notions that Jesus went to hell to rescue some fallen angels (now where folks got that from I have no idea)
Guess you could argue that during our existence on Earth we are always in Hell since we have been apart from God ever since the Fall of Man.
Although Satan is mentioned often in the Old Testament, Hell is not brought up til the New Testament. Whereas before Man did not have much hope for saving his soul other than putting his faith in the coming Messiah, now Man has the chance to embrace salvation. But with this comes a responsibility--knowing how to be saved and choosing not to then subjects Man to eternal judgement.
Not trying to start a religious flame thread here. Just stating what I gathered about Hell from Sunday School. Honestly, I think it is a fuzzy area in most religions. We don't know quite what it is, but we do know that we don't want to go there. |
