52 Christianity – A Journey from Facts to Fiction Sacrifice and Spiritual Bliss If the second option is more acceptable to the Christian Theolo- gians in that it assumes only the soul of Jesus as to have entered hell and that hell to be a spiritual hell, then there seems to be no reason why we should reject this suggestion as nonsensical. However, spiritual hell is only created by pangs of conscience or a sense of guilt. In the case of Jesus Christ as neither was applicable. When you accept the penalty of another’s crime, being innocent yourself, it is not pangs of conscience which are generated but quite the opposite. The soul of such a person should vibrate with a sense of nobility and self-sacrifice, which would be tantamount to spiritual heaven rather than hell. Now we turn to the question of the body that was occupied by Jesus as , and the meaning of death in relation to that body and also to the meaning of revival in the same context. To the best of our knowledge the body of Jesus Christ as had to be an integral part of the ‘Sonship’ of Jesus as. Otherwise, he would have no common meeting ground left to him for his divinity and humanity to merge upon and play distinctly different roles under certain conditions. At times we should see the man taking charge of affairs, provided he had a separate soul himself, and at times we should observe the Divine asserting Himself and controlling the man’s faculties of head and heart. Again we emphasise that this can happen only if there are two distinct personalities locked up in a single being.
