Jesus in Hell

The belief that Jesus went to “hell” after He died and suffered and/or fought the Devil is a subtle and fatal twist on truth from Satan himself. It reinforces the lie of righteousness by works. It teaches that there is no resting from works even for the Son of God, that He had to fight and struggle even after His ultimate sacrifice to force His victory onto the enemy. It totally undermines the whole critical concept of Sabbath rest that God wants us to experience to enjoy His salvation. It puts the focus on continual achieving and always needing to do a little more to change God's mind about us. It puts God and Jesus in an adversarial relationship if Jesus came to quell God's wrath.

If Jesus and God are one in thought and heart, how could Jesus suffer the wrath of an angry God toward sinners as is mostly believed and taught? Was Jesus' wrath burning against Himself? Did Jesus suffer the pain and penalty of “hell” before or after He died? If Jesus descended after death to a place of physical burning and torture, why was just one day enough punishment for Him who carried the sins of the whole world but an eternity of suffering is required for each lost sinner to be tortured by God as most Christians believe?
