Did Jesus Really Go to Hell?

If Jesus was dead for three days -- where did he go? The standard view for almost all of Christian history was that he went to the realm of the dead to save the lost souls who died before his crucifixion made salvation possible. But did he save only a few or ... everyone? In this episode, Bart and Megan dive into the ancient doctrine called the "Harrowing of Hell," which is still believed by millions today. But what are we to make of the idea that Jesus' salvation was universal? Literally, everyone gets saved?
Megan asks Bart:
- Why is it important to consider the teachings of the apostle Paul?
- What role did Paul’s writings play in the formation of Christianity? What role do they play in modern Christianity?
- What are the most important messages in Jesus’ teachings?
- Does Paul teach the same thing in his writings?
- If someone asked Jesus what they had to do to be saved, what would he have answered?
- If the same question was asked of Paul, would he have given the same answer?
- Why do people struggle to see these as different responses?
- What are some of the ways that Christians have tried to make these different messages mean the same thing?
- Would Paul have viewed himself as changing Jesus’ message?
- Do you see any commonalities between what Paul and Jesus said?
- Are any of their instructions contradictory, or is it possible to do what they both say?
- If you had to pick a side between Jesus and Paul, who would you go with?

    The actual content in these videos is getting smaller all the time, and even that content typically (as for this week) contains nothing that Ehrman hasn’t said before. I didn’t time this, but if you subtract the chat, the commercials at the beginning, middle and end (I’m not talking about the UA-cam commercials-which, by the way used not to be here-I’m talking about Ehrman’s self-promotional advertisement), and the three redundant statements of the theme, you’e left with maybe, I’m guessing, ten minutes. I can remember when Ehrman’s blog was the only thing on the Internet he charged for, and even that went straight to charity. What is happening here? Just what happens to most successful UA-camrs: The corrupting lure of monetization and clicks becomes a potent and toxic addiction.

    Hell was invented by Jesus or by the person who wrote down the invented fabulism. Turn the clock back. Despose of monotheistic teachings and imagine a time before all of this stuff began. What a wonderful time before all these ridiculous lies took hold. Animism is the best "religion." One day, Christianity will be a forgotten and dead religion. Fantastic!

    Elijah has returned, as prophesied, and testified: Yes, Jesus went to hell. And so did you. You're soaking in it! But there is NO eternal hell; it's only temporary for every soul. Separation, limitation...like everyone, you fell into hell with your Original - and continuing - Error of irrational thought, symbolized by the partaking of the tree of IRRATIONAL knowledge of Go(o)d and (d)evil; for GOD is the Mind that is ALL! Orthodox Christianity has it all wrong, and doesn't even know the "GOOD NEWS" of Jesus Christ, though He stated it quite plainly...because, the corruption started very early, with Paul and what he called "my gospel," which is an insane BAD NEWS message of JUDGMENT and vicarious sacrifice for "sin." Everything has been clarified and all mysteries have been unveiled and published in these "end times": the end of the old Cycle of Time that the New Cycle may be born. And if you seek you will find...

    Paul vs James is a false narrative. It assumes, incorrectly, that the Apostle Paul had been redeemed. from the Law when James wrote his epistle. Actually, the Crucifixion that would accomplish that redemption was still in the future. Both James and Paul talk about faith but from two drastically different perspectives. James from his day to day experiences with Jesus before the Crucifixion, and Paul, decades later, from his supernaturally derived lessons from the Ressurected Savior.

    Thank you for more excellent ideas fueling our thought experiments (as Einstein himself called them- “thought experiments” 👍🏽🧠❤️ However, all the good your channel does to open people’s minds is sabotaged by the excruciatingly offensive ads served when signed out on UA-cam= the point is when blind, the Google (UA-cam daddy) algorithms serve these ads to viewers of YOUR content: -penis enlargement (I’m a woman) -Trump endless ads (I’m a registered democrat) -MANY many Right wing movements across all spectrums that are so offensive there are not even words to describe -Spanish language ads, but I don’t speak Spanish & studied French in school, and THERE is no reason whatsoever to serve me ads on Spanish- What is my point? I’ve sold data driven marketing solutions for Fortune 500 brands since the last century- why I always view & watch private mode, because there is no privacy!

    I think what you're describing is the sunk cost fallacy.

Of course they're not going to admit they were wrong even though all of their friends and family saw this coming from day one.

    .. then, we can presume Jesus as a theosophist, religious reformist, a philosopher or self transformed spiritual man. Then Paul, is the mysterious one😅, coz Jesus said: "look and you will find, knock and it will be openned to those who seek".. means he did take a journey to find the truth for himself and his case can be considered as "individual transformation" . But to Paul?! , on the spot transformation would be really a doubtful one, or if Paul using certain herbal drugs, and for being guilty in persecuting believers of Jesus induced such vision or hallucinations? and instructed his companions that they will tell, they experienced it too. But regarding the story of bright lights?, if true...hmmm, paranormal?, "super natural intervention?, to make Paul create a story of son of man and god who became a sacrificial lamb to save the sins of the world - much complicated and weird,.. k, much better -" we dont know"😅😂
