When Jesus died.Did his spirit go to the center of the earth?:)

I think yes.Because of these bible verses:


Matthew 12:40

And

Ephesians 4:9

Do you not agree?

If so can you say why with bible
verses?

I don't see how the Jonah story relates to Jesus. And I don't see how that second verse relates to after Jesus' death.

It simply refers to being beneath the surface, however 'Heart' is unusual. It refers not to depth but to some kind of other quality. methinks

Heart means something other than depth. Your heart is where the air and blood touch, so they are where the life in the air becomes life in the blood. I am told that the heart is where the thinking is in scripture cultures, rather than the brain.

If he was focused on the depth then why didn't he say he would be in the feet of the earth or its bowels?

Sign of Jonah....sign of Jonah. That makes fuzzy sense. Fish. It might even explain why the Christian symbol is a fish. Thanks for helping me figure that out. I think I'll write a book about it that no one will read.

So my final decision is that when he says heart of the earth he is somehow alluding to the story of Jonah in the fish's belly. Ironic isn't it.

Jesus meant here that Jesus, I gather, won't die a cursed death on the Cross (which is definitely fake Pauline doctrine, I understand) but Jesus will spend recovery time from the injuries inflicted on the Cross in an earthly tomb. Right?

If it was the middle of the earth, that means Jesus was having a blast floating around completely weightless jamming to the tunes of 2001 a Space Odyssey

hades / hell is the place of destruction . if eaten by a huge fish the body would in deed be destroyed and then turned into fish poop . before that could happen the man was spat out . like wise the grave is also a place of destruction. yes a fish 's gut would do it faster than the grave yet the end results would be the same .

Yes, as Jesus did not die on the Cross, and he was laid in the tomb by his friends for treatment of his wounds inflicted on his body on the Cross.

I understand, it might be a mistake of the scribe to understand the phenomenon exactly.

Jesus pegged the event with Jonah's event and Jonah did not die in the belly of the fish. Right?

ah but he was in the grave and as he said he would be getting out just as Jonah did . Jonah did not know he was going to be getting out of that fish. he was as good as dead
