Hi,
I think the passage of scripture you might be looking for is in 1 Peter 3
18 For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,
19 in which he also went and made proclamation to the spirits in prison
20 who in the past were disobedient, when God patiently waited in the days of Noah while the ark was being prepared. In it a few—that is, eight people—were saved through water.

no, not a foolish thing to say. you know its the truth. the O.T. book of Ecclesiastes is probably the best book at explaining, at least partly, that we will never know everything. God has commanded us to live joyfully, wisely & responsibly. i view problems of life like this: they were since the fall of adam & eve, no one has all the answers, the future will certainly be problem loaded 7 it will end at the perfect time. also, i incorporated a "comedic" approach to problems because it sets your senses in a positive way to get THRU the issue. it works for me & i believe it can work for anyone. there was a time when the devil gripped me powerfully in issues, not seeing thru it & complaining about it. common tests like a driver cutting you off, being told something disparaging or derisive, or being hollered at for an unjust reason, etc., now li augh & cast it out in Jesus name. another truth is that we usually learn thru adversity. scientists & musicians can tell you how many mistakes & failure they endured to get where they are today. i think troubles are a blessing on your path to success.
1.) The Bible says very clearly that everyone knows there is a god, and everyone understands basic morality, and everyone is responsible for their own sin. God owes no one anything. So no one in Hades was owed a special visit from Jesus in order to repent, as the time for repenting had long passed. To suggest otherwise is just very poor theology... though there's nothing wrong with asking the question.
2.) Your profile says you've been a Christian since you were 11, and you're a small group leader. If you've been a christian so long, and you're now in leadership, what has provoked you to suddenly ask this question about such rudimentary theology? What brought this up?

Amen definately what someone was referring to also there’s this section
“For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.”
1 Peter 4:6 KJV
and then thinking along those lines especially what you quoted we see evidence that Jesus preached the gospel after he died to those who were buried before him
“Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”
Matthew 27:50-53 KJV
all that said I don’t hear Jesus entering into hades though but into the spiritual prison he created in tbe ot and explained people would later be delivered from that spiritual prison
“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.”
Isaiah 24:21-22 KJV
Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
Matthew 27:50 Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.
51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52 And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
1Corinthians 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits {plural} of them that slept.
John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

1 Peter 3:19-20 After being made alive he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits— to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water
1 Peter 4:6 For this is the reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit.
these are the verses you were looking for sir.

Jesus was entombed in the heart of the earth for 3 day and 3 nights ....He didn't sneak out when He was dead to go see the imprisoned spirits ...
Specifically we don't know when .... But since He was raised Saturday Nisan 17 before sunset and not seen until early Sunday morning ...my guess is sometime in that time frame.
