Subject: after death, right then, what? |
Bible Note: You quoted these verses: See this concept is carried over by the words of Christ and Paul when it is mentioned again... John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. Ephesians 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. Before the ascension of Christ no man had access to go to heaven when they died. They were held in Abrahams Bosom or Paradise, if they were righteous, then when Christ ascended and made the way..then men went up in his train. Now we also go there. Where in that verses mentioned that after the death of Christ in the cross died people can go to heaven directly? You are using to much conclusion there or you speculate things that is not written. Christ mention My God and your God that is true but it is not mean it change the statement of John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
