The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Views on Hell

Adopted,

I do think that the "Apostle's Creed", albeit with a dubious title, is solidly biblical in its content and thus I have no problem affirming it. The "he descended into hell" phrase is not found in older copies and thus I suspect it was added at some later date. However, I agree with Hoeksema, that if understood correctly (read: biblically) the phrase is fine, although it has obviously led to much disagreement as to what it actually means. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/rolleyes2.gif" alt="" /> What needs "reforming", IMHO, is the erroneous views associated with that phrase.

In His Grace,
