Well, wait a minute.
I s’pose it depends on how one defines “hell”. I am averse to thinking of a cave-ridden dwelling face full of sulphur and flames. I believe the biblical idea of hell is truly defined as separation from God. Isn’t that what happened on the cross, evidenced by Christ’s cry of the Psalter “Why have you forsaken me?”
If indeed Christ was, for that time, forsaken by His Father, then how can one argue he wasn’t in hell?
My thoughts.
Christ was not crying out in vain - he was citing Psalm 22 as a reference to verses 16 through 18: “They pierced My hands and My feet; I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me. They divide My garments among them, and for My clothing they cast lots.” http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+22
