Ya'll inventing all kinds of fables.
Where does it say Jesus went to paradise and preached to the family of Abraham?
I will say it again: the thief did not go to heaven that day.
Paradise was not heaven. The thief did not die saved under the New Testament.
Why are all of you inventing false doctrine so you can tell people they can be saved like that thief?
No one today who dies goes to paradise. So why tell this thief lie.
No one who dies right now goes to heaven.
So some of you believe in bodiless resurrections? No one is in heaven right now. There is a coming of Jesus and a general resurrection at that coming. The dead in Christ will be raised then. There is no resurrection of anyone until that coming and until that resurrection.
All these invented lies about bodiless resurrections at the time of death are false. Jesus did not go to a heaven paradise the day he died.
The Kingdom of God is not paradise as the Kingdom did not come the day Jesus died.
The thief died under the law.
My whole interest in this subject is the lie that people are told they can be saved like that thief.
This means water baptism is not necessary. Faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ is not necessary. A person can be a law-keeper and die under the law and be saved. The endless lies that come out of this one lie causes many souls to claim salvation when they are not saved.
All these other extraneous lies about paradise being in heaven as if to then backward apply this to the thief, is nonsense.
The thief did not go to heaven that day because Jesus did not go to heaven that day. Jesus did not go until three days later.
I know some of you hate me commenting when I disagree with you, but I am tired of being bullied around by people pushing lies and false teachings. And if I do not accept their lies, they want to accuse me of heresy or some other nonsense accusation.
The thief died under the Law. He will be judged by the Law. He did not die in the New Testament time period.
Just admit this and be honest. And then stop telling souls they can be saved like that thief.

Interesting post, Bishop. There are quite a few questions which could be asked, such as:
ReplyDelete(1) "Where did Jesus go when he died?"
(2) Is it possible for a dead man to enjoy paradise? If so, why would a resurrection be
necessary?
(3) Peter preached on the Day of Pentecost that David (dead at the time) was not
ascended into the heavens. If paradise is in heaven, then how is it that David is
not there?
I have a query though, Bishop. When Paul recounts in 2nd Corinthians 12: 1 - 4 his experience of being caught up into the third heaven and speaks of being caught up into paradise, wouldn't this suggest that paradise was in heaven at that time?
I agree that one should not use the thief on the cross as a crutch for disobedience to the clear requirements of New Covenant truth.
Thanks for sharing.
