1 | Luke, Jesus, and the good theif | Luke 23:40 | kimberley37 | 91184 | ||
Why did Jesus tell the good theif that He would see him in Heaven "that day" whe in the Apostle's Creed we say that Jesus "decended to the dead" for three days. Jesus was resurrcted on the third day and stayed for 50 more before ascending into Heaven. How do you reconcile those two staements? | ||||||
2 | Luke, Jesus, and the good theif | Luke 23:40 | prayon | 91379 | ||
Greetings Kimberly, Actually it does not say that the thief would be with Jesus in heaven, it says Jesus said to the thief "today you will be with me in paradise". These are 2 different places. John 20:17 tells us the Jesus said to Mary Magdalene "Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father", which means He had not gone to heaven so he could not of taken the good thief there. Paradise is part of Abraham's bosom. Luke tells us that the rich man who went to Hades saw Abraham and cried for Abraham to have mercy on him. This again proving that Paradise is not heaven. In Jewish theology Paradise is the department of Hades where the blessed souls await the resurrection. prayon |

Thank You for your answer. It seems to be the concensus of everyone I've asked. I will need to look up the part about the rich man and Abraham's bosom. Where is that passage? Thanks Kimberley | ||||||
