Dear Ed, In your hermeneutic, where were Enoch, Elijah, and Moses? Of the three, Moses is the only one who would be in the interim state. Was he taken from this intervening location for the Mount of Transfiguration appearance? (Just curious. I do not have an opinion regarding the interim state as a differing place as a function of time.) One of the three places where paradise is mentioned is in Revelation 2:7.

Enoch, Elijah and Moses are exceptions rather than the rule. They are unique and as such can't be used to prove or disprove anything in regards to this discussion. they are what they are and proof God does make exceptions. As far as paradise. The Greek word is defined as a park or or a garden, with the implication of being very beautiful, peaceful and restful. I believe the genesis of this word is found in the human understanding of the Garden of Eden. In Luke 16 I believe the word is talking of specific place Abrahams bosom which the original hearers of this parable pictured as Eden like, extremely beautiful, restful and peaceful. In 2 Cor 12:4 not so much as specific place but rather as a description of the beautiful Eden like place where Paul found himself. Rev 2:7 as specific place The Garden of Eden where we know the Tree of Life is present. |

Hello EdB, I agree that Luke 16 is not a parable and is literal. Another verse to consider is Jn 3:13 "No one has ascended into heaven except he who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. " DD4Truth |
