1 | OT saints went Paradise when they died | Bible general Archive 4 | Ed O. | 239217 | ||
Except for Enoch, Elijah and Moses which are special cases, all the rest of the OT saints, when they died, went to a place called Abraham's Bosom sometimes called Paradise. They remained there until the resurrection of Christ and then were transported to heaven. After the resurrection, all the saved people now go directly to heaven. Is this correct? | ||||||

Greetings, It was explained to me once that salvation begins with belief in Christ and repentance of sin. After the coming of the Christ, it's belief in his saving work on the cross. However, before the Christ, it was faithfulness to the Law and belief in the future work of the coming messiah. It still boiled down to faith and belief in Christ. The Old Testament prophets called for repentance time and time again, prophesied the saving work of the messiah, and taught the spiritual necessity of adhering to the Law. The Old Testament saints who rested in Abraham's Bosom were those who did such. Jalek |

Hi, Jalek... The idea that there are different ways in which men may be saved is an alien notion to the orthodox Christian beliefs built from Scripture (John 5:45-46; 12:32; 14:6; Acts 4:12). From the very first declaration of the gospel in the protoevangelium (Genesis 3:15), to the preaching of the gospel by God to Abraham (Galatians 3:8), to the final assertions of Revelation 22, all are solidly rooted in the historical event of the atonement of Christ alone. We are blessed to view that atonement as occurring in the past, while the Old Testament saints still looked to its future fillment as promised by God (Hebrews 11:1-3; 1 Peter 1:10). What a marvelous thing that our Lord built the redemption of all of His own past, present, and future, on this incredible work. Those who drink from the water of life (Isaiah 55:1-3; Revelation 22:17) will praise God for His redemptive work through nothing but the blood of the Lamb (Revelation 15:3). We are creatures of time, in which we exist and think. Time is an artifact -- something created by our God -- and something that He is not subject. In Him, Doc |
