Bible Answer: I wish I could answer this in more detailed but I can't. No Lazarus was not in Heaven For Jesus said at that time no man has ever seen heaven but the Son of God. Lazarus was in a place called Paradise or Abraham's Bossom. Or in the Greek called Hades in Hebrew it was called Shoel. Hades had to sides to it One was Paradise the other was Torment. Jesus states in the bible he went to set the captive free. Which means Hades did hold these men of god captive. Jesus saved us so we could get to heaven but before that no man has seen heaven. Read the story of the rich man and Lazarus Sorry That I can't give the reference verses cause I am in a hurry maybe someone else can give you the ref. verses. |
