David Miller wrote to Judy: What leads you to believe that those in Paradise ascended "that day"? Could it not be that he preached in the heart of the earth for three days, rose from the dead, then entered heaven and ministered in the temple there, then led Paradise to heaven at that time?
How do you see the following passage fitting into an explanation of these details? 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. (John 20:17 KJV) jt: David I never did say that Jesus and the thief ascended the same day they were crucified - you must have read this into what I wrote. Another passage you ought to consider is the following: For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; SO SHALL THE SON OF MAN BE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHT IN THE HEART OF THE EARTH. (Matthew 12:40 KJV) So why would you think that Jesus led paradise to heaven "that day"? jt: I've been aware of Matthew 12:40 and the time Jesus spent preaching to the spirits in prison. You are accusing me of writing something I never wrote.
