Bible Question:
Mat 12:40 He was in the stomach of a big fish for three days and nights, just as the Son of Man will be deep in the earth for three days and nights. So the paradise is underground. Then heaven is not equal to paradise? Cuz Jesus, Encoh, Ejiah are in third heaven. correct me if I'm wrong? Paradise is separate by a gulf from hell, according to Luke, where the rich man talk to Abraham. But hades equal hell or is hades the underground world? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Aries! You must remember that Christ Jesus is God and God is Omniscient and Omnipresent... there are no limits to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit! As we are finite, unable to comprehend the Father and the Son being One (The Word was with God and the Word was God), we must rely on the guidance of God's Holy Spirit to reveal the Truth! In the example of Lazarus and the rich man we must understand that Jesus was using a teaching tool--no such place truly exists where hell (Hades) and Paradise coexists in one realm... Jesus uses figurative language to bring across His teachings on charity. God Bless! Angel |
