Thank you for posting.
There are 2 different greek words used for "crossing"
What do others think about the greek word #1276 Luke uses in this verse?

Luke 16:26
And upon all of these between us and ye a great chasm/gulf hath been established.
So that those willing to cross-over<1224> hence toward ye no may be able,
neither thence toward us may be ferrying<1276>


1224. diabaino dee-ab-ah'-ee-no from 1223 and the base of 939; to cross:--come over, pass (through).
1276. diaperao dee-ap-er-ah'-o from 1223 and a derivative of the base of 4008; to cross entirely:--go over, pass (over), sail over.

we must understand in this study
there are 2 hells
1. Sheol - rich mans torment
2. Lake of Fire - final judgement of devil and sinners
revelation 20:10-14
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death

and there are 2 Heavens...but I believe Paul said 3 heavens
this is my reading of the 3 heavens..
1. Paradise/Abrahams busom - where Lazurus and the saint are
2. The Heaven now Where God is and Angels come and go to His throne
3. Is the NEW JERUSALEM...
this is what John saw when he was in the spirit
revelation 21:2
all chapter 21
i believe this is the place that is not completed yet
at least it wasnt in the days of Jesus
john 14:3
I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
