Well, he went there to preach the gospel to those who had died before it, and to organise up a means for future spirits (such as those who die in a place where there just isn't a church, or perhaps to repreach it to those who didn't beleive) to hear it after they die, too.
Here's the scripture for it:
Isa: 24:22 prisoners are gathered in the pit
49:9 thou mayest say to the prisoners, go forth
61:1 opening of the prison to them that are bound
Luke 4:18 preach deliverance to the captives
John 5:25 the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God
1 Pet 3:19 preached unto the spirits in prison
4:6 gospel preached also to them that are dead

I don't know what dantes reference was, but does that help?

Well, it helps me. Do you suppose any of this could be expanded on to aid on defining jesus's sacrifice? Since it was done while he was on haitus from "bodily living", does it factor in?

What? Nowhere did he say that he would keep you from posting. He just said that he wasn't going to post here anymore. Or did I misunderstand

Well, the only reason Jesus came to earth was to fulfill the law and to restore the gospel. So I guess it was significant, because it helped him to restore the gospel to those who hadn't heard it, because they had died in a time when it wasn't around. I don't know if that answers your question. I didn't really know what you were getting at

well, I guess I got my question answered about The Truth. though I don't see why he got deleted...

Oops. I guess I just happened to miss it last time. I guess it didn't get deleted.

I'm not really getting at anything. I'm just prodding to expand the body of this debate...although it's doubtful that will happen. Thanks for the references, aqualung.

Did it answer you questions? Because if it didn't, you could ask some more questions.

maybe an overview play-by-play? I haven't looked any further into the passages you gave me (but i will). So, jesus is on the cross. then he dies. What happens to Jesus next?
