ArchivedAre people in Heaven/Hell right now?Also I would like to add, could that transition from being transferred from the Paradise section of hades be found within this passage? As to why I understood that believers are to be in the presence of God upon death is because Sacrifices of the blood of animals were insufficient to permanently cleanse us of our sins. It was exercising their obedience by trusting by faith the God would someday provide a permanent cleansing, that is through the Son. So when Christ cried out "It is Finished", the ultimate and atoning sacrifice for sin was accomplished by the Son, thus Jesus descended into the paradise section of Hades and led the Old Testament saints who were held captive, the final atonement for theirs sins was accomplished through the sacrifice of Gods Son, i.e., He could now lead them out of Abrahams Bosom and into The Fathers Kingdom. God Bless! |
