Its most used form is: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary ...
We've been attending a church recently that always uses an ancient statement of belief (the Apostles' Creed) in its services. One line in it says something about Jesus descending into Hell after His death, and this confuses me.

By Josh Holland • May 14, 2010. Home. Stories. Jesus’ Last Words. Josh Holland, Crusade Associate for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, shares some biblical insight about the importance of allowing the Holy Spirit to work through us to be witnesses for Christ. The Bible tells us that Jesus didn’t immediately go to heaven after He ...
A: One reason Jesus stayed on earth for 40 days after His resurrection instead of ascending immediately into heaven was to demonstrate to His followers that He truly was alive. After all, they knew the Roman authorities had put Jesus to death, and that His body had been taken down from the cross and sealed in a tomb.

A: Matthew 16:13-18 has been the focus of a great deal of theological discussion, especially concerning Jesus’ words to Peter, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church” (verse 18). The question concerns who or what Jesus intended as the foundation of His church. That Jesus is referring to Himself as the “rock” has been ...
Let me explain. On one hand, the Bible makes it clear that Jesus was fully human. He was born as a baby, grew up as a child, and worked during much of His adult life as a carpenter. Like any other person, He got hungry and thirsty and tired; He also felt joy and sorrow and pain. In addition, He also knew what it was to endure temptation.
