Jesus did not die spiritually, and he did not go to hell to be beat-up by the devil! Paul warned that others would come teaching a different Jesus. Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Hagin, Joyce Meyer, plus a lot more teach a different Jesus.
Dr. Hobart E. Freeman has written an excellent expose' of these cult leaders' heresy.
David Alsobrook also wrote a book exposing their heresy. His book is titled
Was the Cross Enough? Or Did Jesus Die Twice?Quotes from Joyce Meyer:
Biblical Truth
What happened to Jesus at His Death on the Cross?
“And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43
“And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.” Luke 23:46
“When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” John 19:30
What happened to Jesus after the cross?
Jesus went to Paradise where He saw the repentant thief who had been on a cross. While in Paradise, Jesus preached to those in the place of torment. Jesus was not in torment. He was not beat-up by the devil as those who teach that Jesus died spiritually: Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Jerry Sevelle, Jesse Duplantis, Creflo Dollar, Marilyn Hickey, Joyce Meyer, etc. The Bible warns of those who will teach a different Jesus.
“By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;” 1 Peter 3:19
“And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43
“Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.” Acts 2:27
“He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.” Acts 2:31
“Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption: 37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.” Acts 13:35-37
Biblical teaching on paradise/Abraham's bosom.
"There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day: 20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores, 21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; 23 And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. 24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. 25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented. 26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence. 27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house: 28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment. 29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them. 30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead." Luke 16:19-31
These heretics know about Dr. Freeman's book! His teachings are mentioned at Hagin's school. Kenneth Hagin at one time told the pastors of his denomination to lay low about the teaching of Jesus' punishment in hell.
In Jesus,
