In Luke 23, when Jesus says "today", do you think He was saying you will be today in Paradise with me; OR do you think He was saying, "I am saying this today" I know this has been a topic before, HOWEVER we have many new peeps to the forum, and perhaps a fresh look an old question could be entertained? |

Greetings Cuddle, The Koine Greet of the verse reads, which is strange in the English reads, And he said to him, truly I say, today with me you will be in paradise. Emphasis is on the word paradise which is PARADEISO, in the Koine; the word for heaven is, OURANOS pronounce, oo-ran-os. Ephes. 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Up until such time as the lamb of God would accomplished the perfect sacrifice, which would “take away” man’s sin, once for ever, mankind had to enter a temporary quarters know as Abrahams bosom or paradise. Paradise housed all of the departed souls of mankind and it contained three sections, Paradise, a great gulf fixed which separated those in torments from those that put all of their hope in God’s Messiah that was to deliver them. Luke 16:19-31 When Christ departed from his body he released those that where held captive in paradise. Paul tells us that when we depart now from our earthly bodies now we will be face to face with the Lord. 2 Cor. 5:6-8 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Have a great day, CDBJ |
