Where was Jesus after he was crucified but before he was resurrected?

to the thieves on the crosss:





"Today you will be with me in paradise"








to Mary on the third day after the crucifixion...





"Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father"

Where was Jesus after he was crucified but before he was resurrected?
"For which he also went and preached to the spirits in prison, who were one time disobediant in the days of Noah... that they might be judged according to men in the flesh..."
Reply:It's cross...





And it depends on the particular belief you hold. Since I don't believe Jesus came back from the dead, I think he just wound up dead.
Reply:In the grave.
Reply:He was in the Spirit World [often referred to as Paradise] to organize His Prophets and Saints who had already lived on earth to teach the fullness of His gospel to those who had not received His gospel on Earth.
Reply:If you mean, where was Jesus after his body was taken down off the cross, this, in itself, is an assumption that became part of the story. Crucified criminals were normally denied burial and their bodies were left on the crosses to rot and to be picked at by carrion-eating birds, etc.





The 4 Gospels don't agree about what Jesus said, if anything, from the cross, and I have never placed much stock in the words "TODAY you will be with me in paradise."





The earliest accounts in the New Testament, namely the letters actually written by Paul, say nothing about where Jesus' body was other than that he was "buried." The place and circumstances of his burial are not specified by Paul (neither is the location of Jesus' crucifixion or death). The stories about Jesus' body being interred in an above-ground private tomb were developed later and distilled into Mark's account (the first written of the 4 Gospels). What the other 3 Canonical Gospels say about Jesus' burial (that is, what happened to his body between crucifixion and the discovery of the empty tomb) all reflect editorial changes to Mark's account, based on the theological motives and outlooks of the other 3 gospel editors/writers.
Reply:He was Dead. God brought him back on the third day.
Reply:Acts 2:27 says Jesus was in Hell/Hades for 3 days before his father resurrected him.


The King James uses Hell, other Bibles use Hades at this verse.
Reply:Jesus wasnt even crucified or ressurected... Jesus was saved by Allah. The one who was crucified was a friend of Jesus who betrayed him and God give this betrayer an image of Jesus to fool those evil humans..
Reply:Just as He told the thief, He was in paradise, or Abraham's Bosom. He talks about paradise when He told the story about the rich man and Lazarus, (which is not a parable, btw. It doesn't follow the same "format" as every other parable He tells). Paradise is where the righteous people went after they died, and across the span where those who were not righteous. When Jesus "led captivity captive" He took those in paradise to Heaven, because no one could enter Heaven until He did. It was during this time that He defeated Satan's plan for humankind.
Reply:Thin air. He never existed.





Now in Mexico and Spain, there were plenty of men named Jesus. Perhaps you were referring to them?
Reply:Kansas.
Reply:According to the Bible and tradition, Jesus spent time in hell preaching to those that died before he was born to give them the opportunity to hear the "Gospel".
Reply:Opening a KJV Bible will give you the answer. You just have to be willing to look unlike God-hating atheists who have never picked up a Bible in their lives but have the audacity to say they know something about Christ.





Where did Christ's soul go? Read Acts 2:27, 31. It has the answer. Well, now you ask where is Hell? Turn to Matthew 12 and Jonah 2. Matthew 12:40, "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." Now read Jonah 2:2.





Now turn to Luke 16:19 and read the story of Lazarus. Continue reading until you get to "And in Hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments..." "And seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom."





Now ask yourself why did he say "Father Abraham"? Because the Earth was given to Abraham (Rom 4:12-13). "Our father" (Matthew 3:9) is Abraham. Why is it called Abraham's Bosom? Because it is the Bosom of the Earth. The middle, the center of the earth. The hot, molten, dark center that is a round circular pit that rotates (circles are inherently bottomless, hence a bottomless pit). Now Lazarus could see Abraham because it says he "lift up his eyes...and seeth Abraham afar off." (Luke 16:23). And Lazarus could not cross this gulf. "And beside all this, between us and you there a great gulf fixed." Abraham was in the center of the Earth with the rest of the old testament saints in the protective bosom waiting for the Messiah. Hell is also in the center of the earth and Lazarus who was in Hell could see Abraham from a distance but could not cross this separation. He SAW Abraham. wow. Unsaved people were in Hell; saved people in Abraham's bosom.





Look at Ephesians 4:8-10. It says Christ "descended first into the lower parts of the earth... that he might fill all things."





I could go on and on. But to sum it up. Christ's soul went to Hell for 3 days (Abraham's bosom) to redeem those Godly in the Old Testament, his body was in the grave/tomb for 3 days, and his spirit went to God in Heaven.





I suggest you google Abraham's bosom. Read the Bible, its truly amazing what you can kind if you study the Truth.

Reply:The story of Jesus is a fairytale... all matters in the bible are delivered diametrically opposed to the truth to serve the great lie....

The story of Jesus' resurrection went through several drafts before the current version was arrived at, but it's still filled with holes and contradictions, as one might expect from such a composite myth. In the earliest versions of Mark, the narrative simply ends with the "empty tomb"...the reader left to presume that Jesus has been resurrected.
