1 | Where did the dead go prior to Jesus | Luke 16:23 | BibleStudent74 | 86085 | ||
Correction Tim, Elijah never died (2 Kings 2:11) and Moses was resurrected (Jude 1:9). These both symbolized the dead in Christ (Moses) and the Living in Christ (Elijah) to provide hope. The Old testament saints were seen being resurrected but it does not go on to say that they told people where they were and what death was like. Many people throughout the ages have all questioned what happens after death. Are you conscious or not? Don't you think that they would have had something to say on the matter to the people if they were in Heaven or Hell? Would Lazarus have been happy to be taken away from Heaven where we ALL desire to be or did he express great thanks to Jesus for rescuing him from hell and from being tormented? Brother in Christ, it was a lie back when Satan said to Eve (Gen 3:4) "You surely will not die", and it is still a lie now. I think we are saying the same thing but I just wanted to clarify myself so as to eliminate any confusion. My apologies if I have confused anyone any further ;-) Phil |

2 | Where did the dead go prior to Jesus | Luke 16:23 | Morant61 | 86091 | ||
Greetings Phil! Whoops! I misspoke about Elijah! :-) However, Jude 9 never says that Moses was resurrected. Concerning Lazarus, I don't think he was in Heaven, since Christ had died as of yet. He was in Sheol/Hades. But, according to Luke 16, those in Sheol/Hades are conscious. What Lazarus did or did not experience is not mentioned, so it would be an arguement from silence either way to speculate about that issue. I appreciate your response and welcome you to the forum. However, if I understand you correctly, we actually aren't saying the same thing. I don't believe that death involves a loss of conscienceness. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
