Mel Gibson's 'Passion of the Christ' movie grossed over $600 million. He is working on a sequel tentatively titled 'Resurrection.' The actor who plays Jesus (Jim Caviezel) said this movie will have "shocking" parts. One part, that has been reported, is the idea that Jesus went to Hades after the crucifixion and prior to the resurrection to preach to souls in "hell."' Is that what the New Testament teaches? Is this something original to the Apostles and what is called the "Apostles" Creed'? Did Jesus really die? What do the terms Hades, Sheol, Tartarosas, and Gehenna signify? What does the Bible teach about when Jesus preaching in Tartarosas? Did Jerome include this in his Latin Vulgate? Is the 'descent into Hades' (Acts 2:27) the same as taught by the 'Catechism of the Catholic Church'? What does the Bible teach us? Dr. Thiel answers these questions and more.
