First ask yourself, where did the Old Testament saints souls go after they died. They didn't go to heaven because a satisfactory sacrifice for our sins had not been made.

Thanks for your response. I asked myself the question you suggested but I did not come up with the same answer(s) you gave me in reply, although I agreed with most of the article.

In Scripture, we find usage of the words heaven, heavens, Hades, Sheol, Hell, Tartarus (tartaroo), the Pit, Abraham's bosom, and Paradise. Because Scripture translations vary, one can use these words to paint various pictures for human understanding that do not perfectly depict the spiritual place (that I and others refer to as Hell) where Jesus went after His death or the eternal aspects of or the enormity of what He accomplished.

My understanding is that Jesus the King of the Jews descended into (your preferred word goes here) and came out with the Keys of Hell and Death. Do we agree on this? Another poster would not discuss this with me.

Yes and the article's points already were a part of my education before reading the article or your response. Thank you.

No

I don't know what you're referring to about the Keys of Hell and Death.

Also, Jesus Christ did not descend into Hell. He went to Paradise/Abraham's Bossom. The "Gates of Hell" could not keep Him out, or hold the saints in.
