Confused American TV-preachers claims Jesus went to Hell

Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer, Kenneth Copeland and Andrew Wommack have one thing in common. They preach that «Jesus died spiritually», and went to Hell. From there, their copy-cat Jesus will never be able to escape.

The mother of all error. A Jesus that was sent to Hell. — Be aware of preachers who claims Jesus went to Hell, claiming this truth to be read out of their King James Bible.

Many Word of Faith preachers, and thousands of Pastors in Charismatic Churches spread lies about Jesus of Nazareth. They have Spiritual fathers that teach the «Jesus died Spiritually (JDS) theology». This gospel comes from the same source as the «Replacement Theology».

This is serious stuff. Lets take a deep look into this matter:

This teaching is basically a result of an error in Biblical Christianity, that has its origin in a faulty translation of one word in the King James version. Its the Hebrew word «Sheol» . In the 1611 A.D version of the King James Bible the two Hebrew words Sheol and Ghenna have been mixed up. The British translators even used the Greek pagan word «Hades» to explain Hell. The result is an English faulty understanding of the true meaning of the lake of fire. Hell, where the wicked will spend their eternity. A place no one can escape from.

Here is one example of this error in King James version of the Bible:

2. Sam 22: 4-7. (King James)

I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid; The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

NIV correctly translate Sheol as grave: «the sorrows of grave compassed me about»:

Another example:

Psalm 16:10
For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (King James)

The soul of the Holy One is not going to Hell.His soul will not even rest in Sheol. (the grave).

A third example:

Jonah 2:2
And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice. (King James).

Jonah was surely not in Hell. He speaks from his possible tragic «grave» Sheol, in the belly of the Fish. Also I would have cried from such an close to «impossible» tomb of silence.

An translation error from Hebrew and Greek into English:

Anglicans, who do not share a concept of «hades» with the Eastern Orthodox, have traditionally translated «sheol» (and «hades») as «hell» (for example in the King James Version). However, to avoid confusion of what are separate concepts in the Bible, modern English versions of the Bible tend either to translated the word sheol or to use an alternative term such as the «grave» (e.g. the NIV). Roman Catholics generally translate «sheol» as «death».

The Gideon Bible, the New King James and the NIV-versions have all corrected the faulty original English translation in the King James version. This error in the King James version has resulted in many misunderstandings about what the Spirit of Jesus did in the three days his body was in the tomb of silence.

What is the Hebrew meaning of Sheol?

From the Jewish encyclopedia:

Sheol is underneath the earth. Hence it is known also as «Dumah», the abode of silence. Return from Sheol is not expected (II Sam. xii. 23; Job vii. 9, 10; x. 21; xiv. 7 et seq.; xvi. 22; Ecclus. [Sirach]. Eccl. xii. 5). It is “dust” (Ps. xxx. 10; hence in the Shemoneh ‘Esreh, in benediction No. ii., the dead are described as “sleepers in the dust”).

God’s rulership over it is recognized (Amos ix. 2; Hos. xiii. 14; Deut. xxxii. 22; I Sam. ii. 6 [Isa. vii. 11?]; Prov. xv. 11).

What is the Greek meaning of the pagan word Hades?

The Greek God (ruler) of the underworld is called Hades. God of the Bible has prepared a place for Him and his dark angles at the end of time. That is in Hell, the lake of fire. Hades is not hell.

What is the correct Hebrew word for Hell?

From the Jewish Encyclopedia:

The place where children were sacrificed to the god Moloch was originally in the «valley of the son of Hinnom» to the south of Jerusalem (Josh. xv. 8, passim; II Kings xxiii. 10; Jer. ii. 23; vii. 31-32; xix. 6, 13-14). For this reason the valley was deemed to be accursed, and «Gehenna» therefore soon became a figurative equivalent for «hell». Hell, like paradise, was created by God (Soṭah 22a); according to Gen. R. ix. 9, the words «very good» in Gen. i. 31 refer to hell; hence the latter must have been created on the sixth day. Yet opinions on this point vary. According to some sources, it was created on the second day; according to others, even before the world, only its fire being created on the second day (Gen. R. iv., end; Pes. 54a). The «fiery furnace» that Abraham saw (Gen. xv. 17, Hebr.) was Gehenna (Mek. xx. 18b, 71b; comp. Enoch, xcviii. 3, ciii. 8; Matt. xiii. 42, 50; ‘Er. 19a, where the «fiery furnace» is also identified with the gate of Gehenna).

(end)

The deceptive JDS (Jesus died Spiritiualy) teachings (gnostisism) that is preached by men like Benny Hinn and Kenneth Copeland, is often defended by a mixed up understanding of Gehenna, Hades and Sheol as Hell, found in the King James version.

The Spirit of Jesus did not «die», its an eternal Spirit. The Spirit of Jesus did not enter into Hell. While His body was in the tomb of silence, the Spirit of Jesus preached to the spirits in prison, who had been taken captive by the Kingdom of darkness. That kingdom is a present Kingdom. Hell is to the very contrary, prepared for Satan and his dark angels at the end of time.. And the «ruler» of the Kingdom of darkness is not in Hell, not yet.

1.Peter 3.18-19:
He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison. (NIV)

Also in King James this becomes very clear in this verse:

«Being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison» (King James)

From where did Jesus rise after three days?

Jesus did not rise from Hell. He rose from the grave, from Sheol. Jesus rose from the tomb of silence. Also our body, if we are not raptured before our body ends up in «a grave» or the belly of a fish, like Jonah. Our soul will be resurrected, and we will enter into our new heavenly bodies.

From where will people rise on the last day of Judgment?

Since the body of Jesus was in the grave, (Sheol) for three days, it might be the body of people who are in their, first, second or third day in Sheol who are going to be raised from the graves on the final day of Judgment. Thats going to be an awesome display of the Power of God. Even the sea shall give up its latest dead bodies on that day.

Will anybody be raised from Hell on the last day of Judgment?

The Rich man who was sent to Hell (Gehenna) is not going to be raised. Abraham confirmed that there is no way, anybody will be able to escape that place of horror.

What about the people who came out of the tombs in Jerusalem, the day Jesus died on the cross? From where did they come?

The people who came out of the tombs of the graves in Jerusalem (Matthew 27:52) and appeared in the city, all came from Sheol. Another example is Lazarus, who Jesus raised from Sheol on the fourth day. In John 11:39, Martha warned Jesus about the bad odor, expected after four days in Sheol, also called the dust of the Earth. If the soul of Lazarus had departed for Heaven, his flesh in Sheol would literally have returned to dust. Thats what is expected to happen with all flesh in Sheol. Jesus called Lazarus back in flesh and spirit from Sheol, not from Heaven or Hell (Gehenna).

Was Jesus ever tortured by Satan in Hell?

Kenneth Copeland is in a league of his own. He once preached that «Jesus went to Hell to be tortured by Satan». Thats another gnostic «Jesus» from a gnostic gospel. Why? Because Satan has not even been in Hell, not yet. He and his dark angels roams around feeding the children they have deceive with more deceptions. But Satan surely will end up in Hell, the day Jesus of the Bible will throw Him into the lake of fire.

Where did the Spirit of Jesus go in the three days He spent in the grave?

wommack — Word of Faith teacher Andrew Wommack

When Jesus was crucified, Jesus communicated with His Father:

Luke 23:46
Jesus called out with a loud voice, «Father, into your hands I commit my spirit»
When he had said this, he breathed his last.

If you think the Father of Jesus was Lucifer, who now tortured him in Hell for some time, than sent him back to Earth to deceive us, you have been deceived by the father of all lies.

This error in the Charismatic Churches, has lead this movement into several other errors and occult and gnostic practices. The latest is «soaking».

God is good, and will gives us all we need. And all true Christians are cheerful givers. But Jesus is not a fleshy God, that will make you a slave of your own fleshy prayers and expectations. Many American TV-preachers are false apostles of «Jesus- the-ATM-machine». They preach and teach the false «prosperity gospel». They try to deceive us into believing that a man can demand anything from God, and even expect monetary returns like brokers promises us from the Stock Exchange. The brokers never return their commission, when their promises fails.

Hey, stop, you might say: «These men and women walking in an «anointing» of signs and miracles. How can you say that their teachings are faulty?

Lets see what Jesus said:

Mathew 24:4-5:

Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Christ, and will deceive many».

In whose name would these deceivers come?

Matthew 24:24
For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible.

Also Satan has the power to perform signs and miracles. Friendship with his false-Messiah`s will not help you on your final day of Judgment.

The Jewish Apostle Paul also warns us against false teachers who will come in the name of Jesus:

2 Corinthians 11:4
For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.

Therefore: Choose wisely your Bible teacher, brother or pastor.

A global hub of heretics

Word of Faith teachers does not only promote the health and wealth «gospel of prosperity». They also claim that followers of Jesus are gods.

A handfull of Word of Faith teachers that comes into your house through the TV

Many Word Of Faith teachers have sought to emphasize the full significance of the believer’s status as sons of God through the redemption by the blood of Jesus the Messiah.

The Word of Faith teachers are using phrases such as «little gods» to describe Christians. Kenneth Hagin wrote that God «made us in the same class of being that he is himself».

And that the believer is «called Christ» because «that’s who we are, we’re «Christ». According to Hagin, by being «born again», the believer becomes «as much an incarnation as Jesus of Nazareth».

Creflo Dollar teachers them same as the serpent in the garden of Eden

Kenneth Copeland says Adam was «not a little like God … not almost like God» and has told believers that «You don’t have a God in you. You are one»

Based primarily on the book of Psalms 82:6, which says «I have said, Ye are gods and all of you, children of the Most High».

This was also corroborated by Jesus making reference to this scripture in John 10:34. A common theme in Word of Faith preaching is that God created man as «an exact duplication of God’s kind».

But quoting Psalm 82:6 without also quoting Psalm 82:7, is twisting and and making a mockery out of the scripture:

Psalm 82:7

«But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler».

Man was surely created in the image of God, and lived in a perfect place in the Garden of Eden. But that was before the fall. We will also end up in our perfect Heavenly bodies, but not in this present age.

Suffer the Children, a documentary highlighting some of the teachings of the Word of Faith movement, has a video clip of Creflo Dollar teaching the «little gods» doctrine to his congregation based on the notion that “everything reproduces after its own kind.

Dollar: “If horses get together, they produce what?”
Congregation: “Horses!”
Dollar: “If dogs get together, they produce what?”
Congregation: “Dogs!”
Dollar: “If cats get together, they produce what?”
Congregation: “Cats!”
Dollar: “So if the Godhead says ‘Let us make man in our image’, and everything produces after its own kind, then they produce what?”
Congregation: “Gods!”
Dollar: “Gods. Little “g” gods. You’re not human. Only human part of you is this flesh you’re wearing.”

The Bible says this is the teaching of the serpent of the Garden of Eden.

Genesis 3: 1-4:

«Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?»

«The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die».

«You will not surely die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil».

A snake bites the face of a man. Just like the serpent in the garden, Benny Hinn and Creflo Dollar come to you with a copy-cat Jesus. — A snake bites the face of a man. Just like the serpent in the garden, Benny Hinn and Creflo Dollar comes to you with a copy-cat Jesus.

Jesus him self exposes men like Kenneth Copland and Creflo Dollar as false teachers.

John 2:23-25

«Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs he was doing and believed in his name. But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men. He did not need man’s testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man».

While Copeland and Dollar are false teachers, the true teacher and Apostle Paul explain to us his status even after being saved by Jesus from Nazareth:

Romans 7: 23:

«What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord».

God never sin. Our Father in Heaven never makes mistakes. Jesus never sinned. But man keeps on making mistakes, even after we are justified and sanctified by the blood of the lam.

James 4:17
Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins.

One of the purposes of God the Holy Spirit is to convince us about sin, and the fear of God will keep us from sinning. But if you think you can become a «little god» on Earth, you have no fear of God, and have become a fool and a hypocritical liar.

Supporters of men like Kenneth Copland and Creflo Dollar: Get out!

If not repented for, On the day of Judgment they and their followers will burn in the everlasting fire.

Enemies of the cross missuse “Jesus”

They claim to know “Jesus”, but rejects the true Messiah who won victory at the cross of Calvary in Jerusalem.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of the Ministry Christ Embassy is one of the master deceivers who have entered into Christianity.

He presents one of the most occult teachings on claimed to be Christian TV. He boldly announces that Christianity did not come from the victory gained by Jesus death at the cross at Calvary Hill.

Men like Oyakhilome claims that Jesus after he said “Its finished” had to be sent to Hell and be tormented by Satan.

Read more about Oyakhilome false doctrines.

Such teachers say that Jesus took Satan’s nature on the cross. Their copy of “Jesus” rose from Hell after paying for our penalty in Hell, and they try to convince us that this “resurrection” from hell was the start of Christianity.

This kind of teaching is also called “serpent theology”. In the Word of Faith Movement this doctrine is called “DTS”, or Death through Spirit. That “god” had to die spiritually on the cross. The implication of such a doctrine is horrific, and rob Jesus from His eternal not changeable divinity.

Such preachers tells us that Jesus took the nature of Satan on the cross, and that it was “a serpent”, a cursed being, who died on the cross. Jesus was no longer God, but had been rejected by His Father God. Even the Holy Spirit had moved away from Him.

This false doctrine is very similar to Nestorianism. The copy-cat Christian faith, taught by Nestorius (386 AD to 451 AD). He said that since God can not suffer, Jesus was not God on the cross. Jesus had two natures, that could be separated from each other.

Read more about this presenter of a gnostic copycat of “Jesus”

What is the truth?

If God the Father did not suffer with His Son, He would not have loved the Son at all. The Father would not be able to share in the suffering of the Messiah, and the Son’s death of the cross is in deed pointless. There is no glory at Calvary, just shame.

This kind of “Jesus” is a copy cat that was not even able to save Him self, but perished and was sent to Hell.

Jesus of the Bible warns us about such copycats. Read Isaiah 53, and you will see that it is we who considered Him stricken by God.

Isaiah 53: 4-5.

4 Surely he took up our infirmities
and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God,
smitten by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

There is not a single word that even hints that the Father will reject His son. Jesus also explains to us that He gives up His life for free, a command He received from His Father.

John 10:17-18.

The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father.”

If so: How could the Father reject a Son who did what the Father had told Him to do?

Men men Oyakhilome are liars, wolfs in sheep’s clothing.

Who else teach these doctrine taught by demons?

Most of the World of Faith teachers. Men like Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Joel Osteen and Benny Hinn. Most of the teachers who appear on TV-stations like God.tv are godless men, who will lead you astray.

Please do not entertain deceivers. Leave them.

Matthew 15:14
Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.

On the cross, Jesus was glorified by the Father, and won His victory over Satan.

John 17:1
When had spoken these things, He lifted up His eyes to heaven and said, Father, the hour has come. Glorify and exalt and honor and magnify Your Son, so that Your Son may glorify and extol and honor and magnify You.

(Amplified Bible)

Colossians 2:15
And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

Philippians 2:8

And after He had appeared in human form, He abased and humbled Himself [still further] and carried His obedience to the extreme of death, even the death of the cross!

Philippians 3:18

For there are many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, who walk (live) as enemies of the cross of Christ (the Anointed One).

The Father and the Son has planned the victory at the cross before the beginning of the World.

When Jesus said” Father why have you forsaken me?”: He carried all the sins of the World, the most horrible burden that no man, only God, could carry. The Son felt rejected, but was and will never be rejected by His father. The Father and Son is always and will forever be in agreement. They are One.

Psalm: 22: 22-34

I will declare your name to my people;
    in the assembly I will praise you.
23 You who fear the Lord, praise him!
    All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!
    Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!
24 For he has not despised or scorned
    the suffering of the afflicted one;
he has not hidden his face from him
    but has listened to his cry for help.

The latest proof of the Word of Faith teachers apostasy, is their walk back to Rome, to support the Papacy:

Renounce these evil men. Follow Jesus the Messiah, and hold on to sound Biblical doctrines.

Reject Joyce Meyer and her Word of Faith falsehood

Charismatic TV-pastor Joyce Meyer speaks about “god” not being able to anoint those who have doubts. She also warns against using judgment in regards to question of faith.

World of Faith preacher Joyce Meyer explains in a guest column in Christian Posts about mans ability to stop or block the power and anointing of “god”.

Like all false teachers, even Joyce Meyer do have some good points. If she had non, who would have listen to her?

This is what Mayer writes:

“One of the ways we can do damage to God’s anointing is by speaking with a mixture of faith and doubt. We’ll say a few positive, faith-filled words here, and a few negative, doubtful words there. This weakens God’s anointing on our life”.

This place the responsibility for God’s work on me. And I will be responsible for God being able to “anoint me” or not. This is a doctrinal error. When God can make a donkey speak, an animal with no faith at all. He can surly use all of us.

Jeremiah 27:6
Now I will hand all your countries over to my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; I will make even the wild animals subject to him.

God of the Hebrews is supreme. No man can block His power, or stop His work. He is even free to use non-believers whenever he desire. A man who claim to have the powers explained by Joyce Meyer, are above “god”. This is heresy, often taught in the Charismatic circles of false Christianity.

Nevertheless: It is true that God might not anoint a human being who has no faith.. And God surely do not like crack pots and people who goes around and spread negativity. But Joyce Meyers error is that she reduce God’a supremacy and ability. The “god” of Joyce Meyer is not God of the Bible.

Joyce Meyer preach some kind of feel-good-gospel, with man in the center of his own universe.

Lets read more about the “god” of Joyce Meyer:

“If we want to have God’s power working in us and through us on a daily basis, then we have to be in agreement with God―not just part of the time, but all of the time”.

Again her message is centered around “I” and “we” and not God. It is us who can summon God, and make Him work through us. And we have to be in agreement with God, not only in part, but ALL the time.

This is again something taught against the very character of God of the Hebrews.

2 Peter 3:16
He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters. His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort, as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction.

Joyce Meyer basically say that she is able to be in agreement with God all the tome. Some king of magic powers is surely at work. Because man can never be in agreement with God totally and fully, all the time. If that was possible, man would be “god’. There was no need for any other “god” than me.

John 2:24
But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men.

Joyce Meyer would have fitted well among the Pharisees.

Joyce Meyer try to make us accept Serpent Theology. The message from the garden of Eden. Satan basically lifted up Eve to the the level of God, when her Father in Heaven has put clear limitation of her authority and knowledge. And lifted up by Satan, Eve fell into sin by her self acting as “god”.

1 Corinthians 13:9
For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
