How can you like freedom? You said you are an atheist. Adolf Hitler and Joesph Stalin were atheists, they were the worst dictators ever.

Re: Where did jesus go for 3 days?

Ok,so the devil 'ruled' torments until hell was created...Ill assume torments(torment) was a bad hurtful place,why would anyone there not accept jesus...pain isnt fun.

Probably for the same reason you haven't accepted Jesus, even after we have warned you about the fires of Hell.

The Devil sent people into the forums in Torments to dispute the Word: "Jesus is a liar! He says the Earth is flat, but it is really round! The world is billions of years old, not just 4,000 years old! Here, have some fruit, it's good for you! God didn't create the Universe, it was membranes in other Universes! Your great grand-dad was an ape! Don't believe Jesus, he reveres the Books of Moses, but you know those are all inconsistent, unsubstantiated lies!" Some people are so drawn to sin that they put blinders on, even when the truth is staring them in the face.

How did jesus rise again?Like back in his old body or what?

Yes, in his old body:

Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD.... But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. John 20:19-27

So stop being a doubting Thomas and believe, and you, too, will be blessed.

Re: Where did jesus go for 3 days?

In viewing the link to the above expunged papist post, which is has its origins in the church of Rome, readers should (a) discard all non-biblical references – see footnotes and their conclusions for, whilst unable to deny the chapter and verse, the antichrist will mislead and (b) the reader should ensure that KJV1611 is the only source of biblical reference.

The above left-footed burbling aside, we can return to happier matters. I know that many True Christians™ will wish to revisit Sermon (No. 982) delivered on Lord's-day Morning, March 26th, 1871 by C. H. Spurgeon, at the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Newington, when he chose as his theme:

"Unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, when he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it, but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."—Ephesians 4:7-12.”

In this memorable address, he avoided errant interpretation and speculation, so rampant amongst the acolytes of the apostate church, he merely drew the conclusion as we witness it. Spurgeon’s words echo through the years -- he said:

“It should afford us supreme joy to remember that he who descended into the lower parts of the earth has now "ascended up far above all heavens." The descent was a subject of joy to angels and men, but it involved him in much humiliation and sorrow, especially when, after having received a body which, according to the psalmist, was "curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth," he further descended into the bowels of the earth, and slept as a prisoner in the tomb. His descent on earth, though to us the source of abounding joy, was full of pain, shame, and humiliation to him. In proportion, then, ought to be our joy that the shame is swallowed up in glory, the pain is lost in bliss, the death in immortality.

[…]

“We may now turn to consider THE GIFTS OF THE ASCENSION. Our Lord ascended on high, and gave gifts to men. What were these gifts which he both received from God and gave to men? Our text says that he ascended that he might fill all things. I do not think this alludes to his omnipresence—in that respect he does fill all things; but allow me to explain, as I receive it, the meaning of the passage, by a very simple figure. Christ descended into the lowest parts of the earth, and thereby he laid the foundations of the great temple of God's praise: he continued in his life laboring, and thereby he built the walls of his temple: he ascended to his throne, and therein he laid the topstone amidst shoutings.” [My emphasis]

Thus, the mystery of where exactly Christ went and what precisely He did whilst there, remains a mystery and that is His Will – I do not presume to question it.
