Paradise ?
Luke 23:43
When Christ speaks of Paradise to the thief on the cross, is He referring to Heaven or some kind of place of holding for Old Testament Saints?
I have always understood Paradise to be Heaven; however I have recently been told by two different men, more studied then me that the place mentioned to the thief is a secondary compartment in Hell. According to both men this place is also described as “Abraham’s bosom” in Luke 16:22.
I have looked at this view from every angle I can think of, and I cannot support this idea of an Old Testament Purgatory.
Any help would be appreciated!
