1 | What happens immediatly after you die? | 2 Corinthians | ebrain | 180338 | ||
Further to my previous post, this additional information may be of interest to you. When christians die, they go to the place of departed spirits some times refered to as "Abraham's bossom", or "Paradise", neither of which is Heaven. They enter a state of being "Asleep in Jesus", alive, but unaware of anything, including the passage of time, see 1 Thes 4:14, only when they get their resurrection bodies do they wake up, and return with Jesus who takes them for the first time into Heaven. As they are not aware of the passage of time, all of them (including the thief) think that they have only just died, which is why Jesus was able to say to the thief, "This day", because, as far as he is concerned, it is still this day. I hope that this is of help to you. God Bless. Edwin. |

Brother Edwin, To your comment: …“which is why Jesus was able to say to the thief, "This day", because, as far as he is concerned, it is still this day.”… By advocating this, you are essentially claiming that Christ lied to the thief because the thief would not know any different. Are you sure you want support that position while taking into consideration the many references that have been posted in response to this subject? Just something to consider. Stand in His Grace.
