Most born-again Believers don’t ‘see’ that the Scriptures clearly imply that our Lord and Savior Yeshua Christ suffered TWICE for mankind’s sins. His physical (i.e. body) death at Calvary “paid for” the physical consequences of mankind’s sins. But once HIS physical body died…HIS soul and spirit went to hell (for three days and three nights) to ‘pay off’ the hell sin debt that ALL humans ‘owe’ a holy and just God!

Matthew 12:38-40 At this some of the Torah-teachers said, "Rabbi, we want to see a miraculous sign from you." He replied, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign? No! None will be given to it but the sign of the prophet Yonah. For just as Yonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea-monster, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the depths of the earth.

The Bible teaches that the PHYSICAL death of Christ (i.e. His blood sacrifice at Calvary) ‘removes’ or washes away a Believer’s physical (i.e. fleshly) sins as they confess and repent! WHAT Yeshua Christ did a Calvary DIDN’T ‘remove’ the hell debt consequences (for our sins) (that our soul and spirit deserves to ‘pay for’ in Hades?) That’s WHY Yeshua Christ’s (INVISIBLE) SOUL/SPIRIT HAD TO GO TO HELL! Yeshua’s PHYSICAL death (I.e. sacrifice) at Calvary was a ‘partial’ payment for mankind’s sins! Christ ‘completed’ mankind’s sacrifice for sins by going to hell and paying off the hell sin debt that ALL humans ‘owe’ a holy and just God!

Acts 2:24-27, 29-32 But Yahweh has raised HIM up and freed HIM from the suffering of death; it was impossible that death could keep its hold on HIM. For David says this about HIM (i.e. the Messiah): 'I saw ADONAI always before ME, for HE is at my right hand, so that I will not be shaken. For this reason, MY heart was glad; and MY tongue rejoiced; and now MY body too will live on in the certain hope that YOU will not abandon ME to Sheol. (Peter speaking to Jews) "Brothers, I know I can say to you frankly that the patriarch David died and was buried—his tomb is with us to this day. Therefore, since he was a prophet and knew that Yahweh had sworn an oath to him that one of his descendants would sit on his throne, David was speaking in advance about the resurrection of the Messiah, that it was HE who was not abandoned in Sheol and whose flesh did not see decay. Yahweh raised up this Yeshua! And we are all witnesses of it!

Yes! the Bible clearly implies that Yeshua Christ suffered TWICE for our sins! Once on the cross…and once in hell! Yeshua Christ completely PAID OFF our hell sin debt when we got saved…but all those PHYSICAL sins that we commit AFTER we get saved are ‘removed; (i.e. washed clean by the Blood of Christ) as we confess and repent of the sin we just committed!

Now…IF you listen to the podcast series on this topic you’ll hear me say (repeatedly) that I am NOT telling you that UNLESS you believe what I’m sharing (on this topic) you can’t be saved! I know Brothers and Sisters in Christ who don’t believe (for foolish, emotional reasons) that the soul and spirit of Yeshua Christ went to hell! Oh well! We’ll let the Lord sort that out at the Judgment Seat. P.S. I believe that a lot of our so-called biblical beliefs are going to be ‘corrected’ at the Judgment Seat of Christ!
