Re: Did Jesus go to hell between His death and resurrection?

"You mentioned something about immortality. Who was it given to? Well I think all christians would say that it is only given to believers. The reason I wanted to address this is because it makes a difference in how you look at it. If you believe that unbelievers through out time are asleep in the ground and when they are resurrected...they will be supernaturally clothed back into flesh and blood once again. Only then does all that you said make sense. For now, when they are thrown into the lake of fire, their human flesh can burn to death into ashes and then be stepped on under people's feet."

Not all christians say that immortality is only given to believers. In fact most say the opposite of that, that everyone, believers and non-believers alike, are born with an immortal soul. This is what Billy Graham is talking about in his quote up above, the immortal soul. But there is no biblical support for the unsaved having an immortal soul.

Yes, I believe unbelievers will stand before the Lord in their flesh. They are not resurrected and given a glorified body as believers are, a body that will never perish, never decay, never be sick, etc. But I believe they are resurrected in their natural, corruptible flesh, flesh that can perish. And so yes, I believe when the Bible talks about the lake of fire, and the unsaved burning to ashes, that this is literal. God is a consuming fire the bible says, and I believe it!

Hebrews 12:
27This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. 28Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29for our God is a consuming fire.
