'It is finished' — full payment was complete at the moment of death; descent to spirits in prison was proclamation, not suffering

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 10) 00:42:14 – 00:43:14

Follow-up on the atonement question about whether Jesus experienced the equivalent of hell.

Mike does not think Jesus suffered in hell or experienced the equivalent of eternity in hell. He interprets Christ's descent (referencing 1 Peter 3:18-20 — 'spirits in prison') as a proclamation of victory, not continued suffering. When Jesus said 'It is finished' (John 19:30), payment was complete at that moment. The tearing of the veil confirmed this. No additional post-death suffering was needed.
