After Jesus' death, there are differing interpretations on whether He descended to hell or ascended to heaven, with biblical accounts and interpretations challenging the belief of His descent to hell between His death and resurrection. Paradise is described as a place of joy and happiness where believers go upon physical death, awaiting resurrection, contrasting with the suffering of hell.
