Re: Heaven and Hell - Is This True?

A man is known by the words he uses and the ears he doesn't.

Lk.16: teaches hades has two parts, paradise and torment.
Hades is not hell, hell is the eternal destiny of the wicked.
Hades and hell are not to be determined by the context.
Hades is in the bowels of the earth, where Jesus went for 3 days.

Paradise is now in heaven, confirmed by Paul, 2C.12:1ff
Jesus went to Paradise in hades, with the thief on the cross.
Things changed when Jesus ascended, now the spirits of men
could enter heaven because they were made perfect by the blood of Christ.

So if we die and go to heaven today, then no righteous enter hades only the wicked.
So you believe no one goes to heaven, because we are headed for the new earth
come judgment day. Everyone sits in Abraham's bosom waiting for that day.
I disagree. Eph.4:8;

I never said Jesus was coming to this earth again. We are going to a new earth
new means never before seen or known, its the eternal destiny. Heaven is for
spirits of righteous men, the new earth is where we live with Christ in our immortal bodies.
