[QUOTE="SoonerATC, post: 2790601, member: 9576"] Where did Jesus go for the three days between his Crucifixion and Resurrection? When the Roman soldiers rolled back the stone at His tomb, He was gone. [I]1 Peter 3:18-19 "Because Christ also died once for our sins, the just for the unjust: that he might offer us to God, being put to death indeed in the flesh, but enlivened in the spirit, In which also coming [U]he preached to those spirits that were in prison[/U][/I][U][/U]." He descended into some place that was neither Heaven nor Hell, to preach to those who died in grace prior to His death. The sin of Adam and Eve closed Heaven. The Sacrifice of Christ opened it back up. What about all those people who died in the middle time? They didn't deserve Hell, but Heaven was closed to them. They must have been in some third location, no? I'm not saying that location was Purgatory, but it proves there exists more than just Heaven or Hell. The reason you are not encouraged to interpret the Bible on your own is because you get exactly what has happened. 1000 different interpretations, 999 of which are wrong. Catholics leave the interpretation for those who know the most. Let's put it this way. Go pull out a college level organic chemistry textbook. Could I just open it to a random chapter and have you explain to me the intricacies of chemical bonds in a carbon compound? No - but you accept that there are people that exist who could do that.
