Re: Who Was Running The Universe When Jesus Was Dead Those 3 days If Jesus Was Supposedly God?

Rainy, I'll answer this quickly since I really do need to run.

My responses were based on the Confession of Faith Refreshed posted. I know there are varying beliefs on these issues but the beliefs she posted are pretty common. According to what you are saying, those beliefs she posted would be in error. So maybe you two need to debate on that. :) Of course maybe Refreshed doesn't believe what that Confession of Faith says either.

Notice they said:

"Beside these two places (highest heavens and hell) for souls separated from their bodies, the Scripture acknowledges none."

"I. The bodies of men, after death, return to dust, and see corruption:[1] but their souls, which neither die nor sleep, having an immortal subsistence, immediately return to God who gave them:[2] the souls of the righteous, being then made perfect in holiness, are received into the highest heavens, where they behold the face of God, in light and glory, waiting for the full redemption of their bodies.[3] And the souls of the wicked are cast into hell, where they remain in torments and utter darkness, reserved to the judgment of the great day.[4] Beside these two places, for souls separated from their bodies, the Scripture acknowledges none."
