What did jesus do after he desended into hell?

Answer 1

Roman catholics believe that he descended into the dead and resurrected and he saved the souls of the dead in limbo. The doctrine below is based on a non-Catholic doctrine. It is Bible-based theology, but Catholics have many base for their faith. There is our Apostolic tradition that some non-Catholics do not have and also the Church magisterium. Catholics believe that The Bible alone is incomplete doctrine.

Answer

The above answer shows merely Roman Catholic doctrine on the matter (eg the existence of 'limbo') which has little basis either scripturally or historically.

According to the gospel accounts, and those of his contemporaries and their own followers, after the crucifixion his body was entombed in a new tomb owned by a follower called Joseph of Arimathea. On the Sunday following the crucifixion the tomb was found empty and Jesus, as a glorified, resurrected Jesus (and not just a resuscitated corpse) appeared to many of his followers for weeks later. On some occasions he appeared to single people (eg Mary magdalene, James, Paul), on others to groups of followers (eg the disciples, Cleopas and his companion) and Paul records an incidence where he appeared to over 500 at one time.

After several weeks Jesus then ascended to heaven. We do not know precisely what happened, but are told that he disappeared from their sight in a mist or cloud. Some time later his spirit returned (as the Holy Spirit) ans was poured out on his disciples giving them the strength and will to proclaim his godship and to begin his Church on earth, until he returns as judge.
