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

This is sick indeed, and I'm not saying anyone here feels this way at all, but apparently some that hold the the eternal torment view do. And I'm not that shocked to see a quote like this since I remember one friend of mine that I was discussing hell with was just appalled by my view because he could not wait until the wicked would be tortured forever.

“…their torment shall ascend up in the sight of the blessed forever and serve as a most clear glass always before their eyes to give them a constant, bright, and most affecting view…This display of the divine character and glory will be in favor of the redeemed, and most entertaining, and give the highest pleasure to those who love God, and raise their happiness to ineffable heights. Should this eternal punishment and this fire be extinguished, it would in a great measure obscure the light of heaven and put an end to a great part of the happiness and glory of the blessed.”
---Samuel Hopkins

But here is what C.S Lewis said about the eternal torment doctrine:

“There is no doctrine I would more willingly remove from Christianity than (hell), if it lay in my power. We are told that it is a detestable doctrine and indeed, I too detest it from the bottom of my heart." Tweet
