Doyle teaches out of the King James Bible that Jesus went to Hell for 3 days. This is false and I will prove it to best of my ability by the grace of God. It is obvious that he taught this without any sufficient study in the Original Greek or other versions of scripture either that or he studied and purposely knowingly teaches lies, God knows. Regardless, teaching lies is sin. Unfortunately, this teaching that Jesus went to Hell the place of torment is accepted by many in the so called “Faith Movement Churches”, maybe that is where he got it.
The teaching goes this way:
1. Jesus went to hell.
2. Our sin put him there.
3. The death of the Cross was not enough to pay the price for sin.
4. It was God’s will was for Jesus to me tormented in Hell for 3 days. In other words sin was not paid in full at the Cross.
5. Jesus had to pray Himself out of Hell. Which would mean, if He had not prayed Himself out He would still be there???? Would even be possible to pray your way out of Hell? Where is the scripture for that?
There is NO WAY that Jesus went to Hell to be judged and tormented! And I will prove it with scripture.
Doyle would shout “Jesus went to Hell!” over and over again out the blue, or should I say out of the black for no apparent reason, which in and of itself is bizarre.
When Doyle said Hell he was NOT talking about the place of the Patriarchs, paradise, the place of the dead. He clearly painted the picture as the Pit. The place where the worm dieth not, the place where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth, torment and Eternal Judgment. Whenever he would read the word hell, prison, deep, depths or lowest pit in the KJV, Doyle translated it to us to mean Hell, fire, weeping and gnashing of teeth and judgment, true FIRE AND BRIMSTONE and Jesus was sent there.
The problem is that the word “prison” can mean just that “a prison” in this world or oppression, you have to study. We all have to take personal responsibility and read and understand that Jesus going to Hell makes no sense whatsoever to begin with. Hopefully your will see this to be true when you finish reading this and it will cause you to do your own personal study.
In many places in the KJV the word written in English to be “hell” can mean other places or realms. Sometimes “hell” truly means Shoal, Abrahams Bosom/Paradise/Realm of the Dead not Hell. Research this yourself. “Hell” is also used to mean the grave/tomb where Jesus body was laid. In the scripture that says “*the sorrows of hell” to me is just that; the SORROWS of referring to the sorrows He endured on the Cross for you & I and all generations to come.
Doyle taught that Jesus was sent to Hell using Psalm 18
*KJV – Psalm18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. 5. The *sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.
Psalm 18 was NOT a picture of Jesus in Hell the place of torment. It was a picture of Jesus being beaten throughout that night and then hung on the cross and all the torment that ensued prior to His death.
Now read a more literal translation from the New American Standard:
NAS – Psalm 18:4 The cords of death encompassed me, And the torrents of ungodliness terrified me. 5. The cords of SHEOL surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me (Doyle taught this was Jesus in Hell. Actually this was Abraham’s bosom also called, Paradise if you study it in the Greek and Abraham was not Hell, plus remember where Jesus said to the sinner on the cross “Today you will be with me in Paradise”, did Jesus lie to him?). 6. In my distress I called upon the LORD, And cried to my God for help; He heard my voice out of His temple, And my cry for help before Him came into His ears. 7. Then the earth shook and quaked; And the foundations of the mountains were trembling And were shaken, because He was angry. (This happened when Jesus gave up the Ghost on the Cross and the Veil of the Temple was torn in two.) 8. Smoke went up out of His nostrils, And fire from His mouth devoured; Coals were kindled by it. 9. He bowed the heavens also, and came down With thick darkness under His feet. 10. He rode upon a cherub and flew; And He sped upon the wings of the wind. 11. He made darkness His hiding place, His canopy around Him, Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies. 12. From the brightness before Him passed His thick clouds, Hailstones and coals of fire. 13. The LORD also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered His voice, Hailstones and coals of fire. 14. He sent out His arrows, and scattered them, And lightning flashes in abundance, and routed them. 15. Then the channels of water appeared, And the foundations of the world were laid bare At Your rebuke, O LORD, At the blast of the breath of Your nostrils. 16. He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters. (Doyle taught this was many souls in Hell, this was many people in Jerusalem) 17. He delivered me from my strong enemy, And from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me. 18. They confronted me in the day of my calamity; But the LORD was my stay. 19. He brought me forth also into a broad place; He rescued me, (Doyle taught rescued from Hell. This was a rescue of His Soul & Spirit from the Cross) because He delighted in me.
Doyle taught that this was Jesus in Hell using Psalm 22.
Psalm 22:12 Many bulls have surrounded me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled me. 13. They open wide their mouth at me, As a ravening and a roaring lion. (Doyle taught that this was Jesus being tormented in Hell, when actually this was Jesus being beaten and hung on the cross) 14. I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It is melted within me. 15. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And my tongue cleaves to my jaws; And You lay me in the dust of death. 16. For dogs have surrounded me; A band of evildoers has encompassed me; They pierced my hands and my feet. 17. I can count all my bones. They look, they stare at me; 18. They divide my garments among them, And for my clothing they cast lots. 19. But You, O LORD, be not far off; O You my help, hasten to my assistance. 20. Deliver my soul from the sword, My only life from the power of the dog. 21. Save me from the lion’s mouth; From the horns of the wild oxen You answer me. 22. I will tell of Your name to my brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You. 23. You who fear the LORD, praise Him; All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And stand in awe of Him, all you descendants of Israel. 24. For He has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; NOR HAS HE HIDDEN HIS FACE from him; But when he cried to Him for help, HE HEARD. Do you SEE? God heard Him!Matthew 27:46 About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?” that is, “MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?”
Doyle taught that Jesus was cut off from the Father and that God abandoned Him on the Cross and then cast Him into Hell for 3 days. This is not true!!!! God heard Jesus, even though Jesus felt forsaken and abandoned He was not. Clearly Jesus felt the separation because the sin of the world was laid upon him, but according to Psalm 22:24 he was not forsaken and in Psalm 18:18 the Lord was His stay.
Doyle used Psalm 116 to teach Jesus went to Hell the place of torment. This is talking about Jesus and the Cross and the Resurrection, not Hell.
Psalm 116:3 The cords of death encompassed me And the terrors of Sheol (the place of the dead) came upon me; I found distress and sorrow. 4. Then I called upon the name of the LORD: ”O LORD, I beseech You, save my life!” 5. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous;Yes, our God is compassionate. 6. The LORD preserves the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me. 7. Return to your rest, O my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. 8. For You have rescued my soul from death (the grave, the tomb, not Hell), My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling. 9. I shall walk before the LORD In the land of the living (The Resurrection).
