Subject: Where did the dead go prior to Jesus |
Bible Note: Greetings Phil! Whoops! I misspoke about Elijah! :-) However, Jude 9 never says that Moses was resurrected. Concerning Lazarus, I don't think he was in Heaven, since Christ had died as of yet. He was in Sheol/Hades. But, according to Luke 16, those in Sheol/Hades are conscious. What Lazarus did or did not experience is not mentioned, so it would be an arguement from silence either way to speculate about that issue. I appreciate your response and welcome you to the forum. However, if I understand you correctly, we actually aren't saying the same thing. I don't believe that death involves a loss of conscienceness. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
