I think there is a dichotomy here between the eternal nature of the spirit and soul, and the flesh. I can't say I understand why the Bible says that the wages of sin is death and leaves it at that, but it does. Do I believe the eternal resting place for those that remain in unbelief is a place of eternal torment, yes. Do I believe Christ spent a non eternal amount of time in this place, no I don't. Scripture isn't clear on this, at least it isn't clear without having to make stretches.
Peace and Love,
Stephen
