1 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | BradK | 172934 | ||
Hello koscheimen, I realize that this matter may be quite clear in your mind. Yet, may I ask, "quite clear according to what scriptures"? I'm really not trying to be difficult, however, your statement is lacking any specific scripture references. Help me out as I do not want to misunderstand you:-) If you can more clearly communicate your position, then I can better understand you, my freind. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

2 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | koscheiman | 172959 | ||
And he said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To-day shalt thou be with me in Paradise. (Luke 23:43) Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. (John 20:17) These are the two Scriptures I mentioned in my post. As you can see in the Scripture in John Jesus had not as yet ascended to the Father yet He had already been to Paradise as of Luke's Scripture. Aparently here Paradise does not refer to heaven. |

Dear K, I'm at a loss to understand how 2 unrelated scriptures, strung together form your thesis!? I'm still VERY unclear, but I'll leave said at that:-) Speaking the Truth in Love. BradK |

4 | Is "Paradise" the same as heaven? | Luke 23:43 | koscheiman | 173004 | ||
What do you not understand? One Scripture said Jesus and the thief went to Paradise "today" i.e., the Friday of their deaths. The other Scripture which is on the day of Christ resurrection (Sunday) Jesus told Mary He had not gone to the Father as of yet. So if He went to Paradise on Friday Resurrected on Sunday but as yet had not been to the Father then the reference to Paradise in Luke is not where the Father is (heaven) You would do well to go to the following website and read http://www.mwchurchofchrist.com/pages/articles/aftdeath.htm |
