No-one claims that. He is said to be "seated at the right hand of the Father." I have zero reasons to believe that Jesus is in hell right now.I was speaking more to the notion of his taking upon himself or erasing the punishment I was going to receive. Perhaps others might wonder over the duration but not I. Your statement was general enough that it seemed fitting - and in fairness I should have been more clear - after all..the moment we go down the jesus road who knows what the fuck the other guy is talking about, amiright?
