Part 3 The Biblical Term ‘Paradise’

In the first installment of this discussion we posed the questions whether the Christian Holy Scriptures communicated to us (i.e. those of us who believe in it as the Word of GOD) that when people believe in GOD andor LORD JESUS (irregardless as whatever they believe JESUS to be) that when these people die they will go to heaven to live forever while all the rest of humankind will go to hell to be sadistically tortured forever and ever; and also whether this verse (Luke 23:43) also communicated the message that GOD has been desperately trying to save humankind but doing a very poor job losing badly to Satan the Devil (which is the very clear, plain but implicitly message communicated in the very evil doctrine of so called death bed conversion).

In the second installment we posed the question on the teachings (i.e. doctrines) of the sole Messenger to the Church of GOD of the Philadelphia period, whether they are true and valid, or are they either misguided errors or heretical lies.

Here we will discuss all the things that can be understood from all that the Scripture of Truth recorded on this particular issue of Paradise, what and where it is exactly, and who if anyone (i.e. member of humankind) at all get to go and live forever in this Paradise that is supposedly (as claimed and advanced by the Apostle Paul in his ego gorging lust to show off just how much more supremely greater than all the eleven other Apostles) in (the Third) Heaven where GOD have HIS seat of government (i.e. Kingdom).

The Teachings Of The Church of GOD of The Philadelphia Era

The teachings of the sole Messenger to the Church of GOD in Philadelphia was and still is correct, he taught correctly that the punctuation was incorrectly placed by all the Bible translators (every single one of them) in every single version and where the correct placement of the punctuation (i.e. in this case the comma) should be. So then Luke 23 verse 43 should read (in English) as:

And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you today, you will be with Me in Paradise.”

And not as that of all the Bible translations (in all the languages the Bible has been translated into) where the evil translators in deliberated stupidity (of pretending to totally not understand the meaning of the word Paradise [Greek paradeisos G3857] used in the Christian Holy Scriptures and also of the consistently recorded message of the Scriptures of: the first resurrection which is of all the dead in CHRIST resurrecting to immortal life as HOLY SPIRIT personages at HIS (Second) Coming (Revelation 20:4); while all the rest of humankind will only be resurrected in the second resurrection on the day of Great Judgment aka Judgment Day of (Revelation 20:5 – 14), translated this verse as:

And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

The Christian Holy Scriptures is very plainly and explicitly clear that JESUS CHRIST after that very specific day mentioned in that verse as ‘today [sēmeron G4594]’ was actually fully and totally dead, not having any life consciousness at all, HIS temporary life consciousness as a fresh and blood (i.e. compose of physical matter aka ‘dust [`aphar H6083] or earth [choïkos G5517]’) SON of man been terminated when HE bled to death on the cross on that mentioned day and that HE was actually, fully and totally dead throughout that duration until HE rose (i.e. was resurrected) on the third day before sunset, the sunset that would ushered in the fourth night (i.e. Sunday); and HE was not just in a comma whether medically induced or otherwise) for three days and three nights. It should be noted that today (in these last days of the Age of Man) starting from some one to two centuries ago, the whole world officially observes a calendar day as beginning at midnight but during the time of JESUS ministry and through the Apostolic years and after, the Jews marked the beginning of a day at sunset.

Only after being dead (and not that of HIS so called immortal soul gone to either Heaven or Hell) for a full three 24 hours period did JESUS rose (i.e. resurrected back to life) from death on the third day (John 20:17) before dawn ushered in the morning of the fourth day (the first day of the week which today is known as Sunday) when that day dawned at sunrise (Mark 16:9; Luke 24:1), and not at midnight which today is the current officially globally recognized beginning for a new day.

Then waiting for HIS one and only believing disciple (as opposed to all the unbelieving eleven apostles and some five hundred other disciples) to show up at the site of HIS grave HE showed HIMSELF to this one single believing disciple, Mary Magdalene. She was the only one who had not given up on HIM unlike all the rest of HIS disciples and even the eleven Apostles (all of whom totally disbelieved despite them being even given miraculous power authority to heal the sick and cast out demons) who were HIS near constant companions throughout HIS three and half years ministering as the MEDIATOR of the New Covenant.

Jesus said to her, “Mary!”
She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).
Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’”
John 20:16 – 17

Only after showing HIMSELF to Mary Magdalene on the morning of the fourth day (i.e. Sunday morning after sunrise), did JESUS CHRIST ascended to the FATHER in (the Third) Heaven (Matthew 3:5), before returning (to earth) slightly later on that same day to meet with (John 20:19; Mark 16:14) and open HIS apostles and disciples understanding to the Scriptures on HIS First Advent as the MEDIATOR and MESSENGER of the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:6, 9:15: 12:24; Malachi 3:1) being the LAMB of GOD who takes away the sins of the world.

Ask yourself this question:

Why didn't JESUS after HE rose from the being dead three days and three nights straight away (i.e. immediately) ascend to the FATHER but instead waited to show HIMSELF to Mary Magdalene. And only after showing HIMSELF as risen (resurrected to immortal life and not gone to Heaven and returned again) from death to Mary, did HE ascend to the FATHER? Was the reason for HIM doing this because Mary Magdalene being HIS so called ultra top super secret wife (as has been advocated by the most ultra mega super supremely ingenious lateral thinkers of this current age of knowledge and communication technology, supreme enlightenment, and of thinking out the box) therefore she is so much more supremely ultra mega more important than GOD HIS FATHER who must take second place before Mary Magdalene?

JESUS CHRIST after (i.e. after three days and three nights dead in the grave on) HIS resurrection to immortal life, waited to first show HIMSELF to Mary Magdalene before ascending HIS GOD and FATHER (i.e. so as to present HIS sacrificial death that it be officially accepted and instituted by GOD as the payment for all of humankind's sins) for one specific reason only. The (Third) Heaven is the seat of of GOD's government (aka Kingdom) and is not, was not and never ever a Paradise Garden at all absolutely.

JESUS did this (i.e. show HIMSELF to Mary before ascending to HIS FATHER), because HE truly knows all thing absolutely without exception and knew in advance that centuries later a great evil Harlot Church (Revelation 17:5, 1 – 6, 16 – 18) and all her harlot daughters (i.e. that is all the iterations of this Great Harlot, all those advancing the evil Nicene Creed as the definitive central dogma of Christianity) will be advancing and asserting that every member of humankind has an immortal (i.e. indestructible) soul which cannot die and because this soul is supposedly immortal (i.e. indestructible) when people die they (i.e. their so claimed immortal indestructible souls) must go somewhere which would be either to Heaven or Hell.

This was the only reason and also the very specific reason, JESUS waited to first show HIMSELF (so that the Holy Christian Scriptures may fully, clearly and explicitly expose this evil doctrine of the evil Great Harlot Church for the evil lie that it is) to one of HIS disciples who was the only one still waiting by HIS tomb, before ascending to the FATHER in the ‘third heaven’ (2 Corinthians 12:2) and not to ‘Paradise’ (Luke 23:43).

The Meaning Of Paradise In The Scriptures

The topic of Paradise as a special Garden of GOD, a garden that GOD specially and specifically planted, was first introduced in the Scripture of Truth in the very first book of Genesis, the book recorded by Moses (either directly or indirectly through a scribe possibly the Judge Joshua). The Garden of Eden was introduced in Genesis chapter verse 8 where it recorded of the LORD (i.e. PERPETUAL) GOD (i.e. POWER) planting a special garden in the front (i.e. the east in Biblical perspective and terminology) in a place called Eden.

The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.
Genesis 2:8

This special garden planted by GOD is called Eden (or for those who are rules-based hairsplitters, The Garden In Eden).

In Ezekiel 28 verse 13 and 31 verse 9, this garden specially and specifically planted by GOD for the very first family of mankind made in the image and likeness of GOD, was called the Garden of GOD. All other references in the Old Covenant records of Eden as a paradise garden andor Garden of GOD, were made as either or both: a figurative or literal reference to or comparison with the Garden of Eden as the Paradise Garden planted by GOD.

So then if we would not deliberately choose to be stupid we would (or should anyway) know that there is only one paradise Garden that the Scriptures of the Old Covenant period referred to; and this was the very special garden that GOD planned for the first family of mankind and this garden was in Eden and it was called (or known as) The Garden of Eden and the Garden of GOD, both terms being synonymous (i.e. meaning and referring to the exact same thing).

And the reason it is a paradise garden and therefore a paradise as a very desirable and conducive place for mankind to live in is because it provided all for of mankind needs and legitimate (i.e. conducive) wants, from being a pleasant and safe environment (against all the natural elements on this planet that can cause harm to befall them) to that of a place fully conducive to their physiological and biological well being and happiness, but this is if and only if they would (i.e. conditional upon them) not chose to harm one another or themselves (either directly or indirectly) through embracing evil (aka covetousness or lust) as the definitive choice and expression of their life and living.

In the New Covenant Scriptures any reference to the term ‘Paradise’ is either symbolic or its about how the Promise Land will become a true Paradise after the Second Advent when the returning CHRIST as KING of Kings and LORD of Lords will have destroyed all the wicked who persecuted the Elect during the period leading up to the Tribulation and during the Tribulation. And when finally GOD completed and made perfect the creation after the Great Judgment which is the actual Judgment Day (Revelation 20:11 – 15) of which the Day of the LORD is a type, the whole earth, a totally new earth, will be a Paradise (Revelation 21:1, 22:1 – 5).

Deliberated Stupidity

Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”
But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”
And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
Luke 23:39 – 43

In the records of the New Covenant Scriptures, there are only three direct references to the term ‘Paradise’. The first was in Luke 23:42 where this term was used by JESUS CHRIST just before HE died on that same day before sunset.

Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.”’
Revelation 2:4 – 7

The LORD JESUS used this term just a second time and this was in HIS revelation of future events (i.e. prophecies) to the Apostle John in the book of Revelation chapter 2 verse 7. Here the term used was ‘the Paradise of GOD’ (with the literal meaning of ‘the Garden of GOD’).

In this reference, the LORD JESUS was not talking about a literal Garden of GOD but a conceptual and symbolic place, the symbolic meaning is that those of the Elect in that first era of the Church of GOD, the Church of GOD in Ephesus (aka the Ephesus era or period) who would repent and remained committed to their Covenant with GOD (as opposed to all the rest of the unrepentant Elect who had embraced the evil doctrines of the Christmas religion to commemorate and celebrate such things as the baptism and birthday claimed to be that of JESUS CHRIST), they will receive the immortality (i.e. eternal indestructible life as literal HOLY SPIRIT conceived Sons of GOD and Brothers to the LORD JESUS CHRIST) at HIS Second Advent. The used of the term ‘Paradise’ in this verse is neither to refer to the Third Heaven nor any other heavens (i.e. the sky which is our earth atmosphere, or the rest of the physical universe) but to when the Promise Land will finally be a true Paradise on a earth after LORD JESUS Second Advent. 

It should also be noted that the term ‘tree of life’ was only mentioned three times in the New Covenant Scriptures, all of which were in the book of Revelation (Revelation 2:7, 22:2, 14). And all references to this term were symbolic to convey (i.e. to communicate in illustrative language or figure of speech) the message that immortality and eternal life will become available to all (as opposed to a very small nominal numbers from the time Adam and Eve until the New Covenant period when a slightly larger number began to be called into the Church of GOD) those who believe and repent (as opposed to all those who make a great pretense at believing which is expressed and exposed in their refusal to repent) and especially all those who are of the genealogical lineage of the Biblical Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob who would be residing in the Promise Land as their promised (i.e. promised to Abraham that it would be his children's) inheritance.

I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven. And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows—how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
2 Corinthians 12:2 – 4

The second used of this term ‘Paradise’ was by the Apostle assigned to the Gentile converts, the Apostle Paul, in 2 Corinthians 2 verse 4. This the Apostle to the Gentiles did in deliberated stupidity seeking to boost his self image (i.e. ego) among the Elect in great pompous pretense at ultra mega super supreme lowly humility (Romans 1:1; Galatians 1:10; Titus 1:1) but in evil duplicity claimed that he was actually taken up to the Third Heaven. 

But his using the term ‘Paradise’ here showed (i.e. totally revealed and exposed) that he both knew that he was just given a vision into the future (and not literally taken up to the ‘third heaven’ ‘whether in the body’ ‘or whether out of the body’) and he was totally aware of his own ego goring lust that the reason for him making this communiqué and claim was so as to deceive the gentile believers into worshiping him (i.e. to obey him rather than all the other eleven Apostles or LORD JESUS and GOD from what was the recorded of the Scripture of Truth).

The Apostle Paul seek to deceive those of the Elect (i.e. the Gentile converts) under his area of ministry and influence into believing that he was actually literally taken up to the ‘third Heaven’ (2 Corinthians 12:2) but his used of the term ‘Paradise’ (2 Corinthians 12:4) to refer to the Third Heaven where GOD had HIS throne and seat of Government, exposed the Apostle Paul's evil duplicity and ego supergorging lust fueled intention (Matthew 12:34; Luke 6:45).

Let all the readers understand: we are human beings (i.e. creatures created of physical matter aka ‘dust or earth’ (Genesis 2:7, 3:19; 1 Corinthians 15:47) and unless we are changed into HOLY SPIRIT composed Sons of GOD at the Second Advent of JESUS, exactly as the SON of man, JESUS CHRIST, was changed into SPIRIT (John 3:6, 5, 13) when HE was resurrected after being three days and three nights death and buried in HIS grave; or unless we are literally Spirit composed Angelic personages (who were directly created by GOD), we cannot be taken up (i.e. ascend to) the ‘third heaven’ ‘whether in the body’ or ‘whether out of the body’, because we do not have an ‘out of body’ immortal soul contrary to the lies deliberately hatched and explicitly invented here (in 2 Corinthians 12:2 – 4) by the very explicitly evil ego supergorging Apostle Paul.

In inventing the terms ‘in the body’ and ‘out of the body’ the Apostle Paul because of his ego supergorging lust of wanting to be ultra mega super supreme, actually and literally embraced and promoted (i.e. became complicit to) the evil doctrines of the immortal soul of evil pagan religions. This he did while all along he was fully cognizant and knew this pagan doctrine for an evil lie.

The Apostle Paul throughout all of his writings in all his epistles (except for his one single instance and additionally implied in another instance which we will discussed at the another time) taught of the dead being dead and not of being ‘out of body’ in Heaven or any other place, and of a resurrection (i.e. of coming back to life from being dead) at the Second Advent of those who died in believing faith believing in CHRIST and sincerely committed to the New Covenant they have all entered into with the FATHER and JESUS.

The Apostle Paul was merely given a ‘vision’ as ‘revelation’ (2 Corinthians 12:1) — exactly as the Apostle John was while he was exile in the Island of Patmos (Revelation 1:1), revelation from LORD JESUS from the FATHER (Revelation 1:1 – 3), which John recorded in the Book of Revelation aka Book of ‘Apocalypses [apokalypsis G602]’ — of doctrinal truths into the distance future into the time after LORD JESUS will have returned and restore the Kingdom to the Promise Land (Acts 1:6 – 7) which is the restored Paradise Garden of GOD.

The first Paradise Garden in this same geographical location was destroyed in the Flood of Noah. And the ‘inexpressible’ words the Apostle Paul heard was very likely the English language which is the main language used in these Last Days to testify to the Truth (i.e. the Holy Words or communication) from GOD, the full complete message of the Gospel of the Kingdom which is from Genesis to Revelation. 

It was in this vision that the Apostle Paul received, where LORD JESUS communicated to him (1 Corinthians 11:23 – 25) among many things, the need to honor, keep, perform the commemoration of HIS death in the New Covenant made in HIS BLOOD. Vision in Biblical perspective is a communiqué to communicate some messages of truth andor events (past, current or future) to those whom visions have been given and they are seldom if ever, literal but are symbolically conceptual in contextual message contents (Matthew 16:28; Matthew 17:1 – 9; Mark 9:1 – 9; Luke 9:27 – 36).

During the incident of that vision the Apostle Paul did not go anywhere whether ‘in the body’ or ‘out of the body’ both literally and technically but was exactly and totally where he was (in the exact same place) when he received that vision from GOD and not anywhere else absolutely. If you in your sleep on your bed had a dream that you met with someone whether still alive or who had died (whether recently or long ago) in the planet Saturn or Neptune, or inside an absolute nothing singularity black hole or some other parallel universe of the fantasy of ultra mega super supreme science; it does not and will never ever mean that you literally met with them whether ‘in the body’ or ‘out of the body’ there or anywhere else, it was just a dream totally and completely, and absolutely nothing more than just that, and you were never ever anywhere else but on your bed asleep and dreaming.

Just contrast the very detail vision and revelation that JESUS gave to the Apostle John against the claims of the ego gorging self advancing liar, the Apostle Paul. At no time did John proclaimed or even implied to anything (Revelation 1:9, 12, 17) about him, the Apostle John, being taken up ‘paradise’ and hearing ‘inexpressible words which is not lawful for a man to utter’, other than to truthfully and faithfully (without adding in or taking out anything, or redefining anything) record everything that the LORD JESUS revealed (i.e. showed to him in vision of events from then leading to the Day of the LORD just as the Prophet Daniel received vision and revelation of events from his time leading to JESUS CHRIST First Advent) to him.

During HIS three and half years ministry, JESUS showed a vision to (Matthew 17:1 – 9; Mark 9:1 – 10; Luke 9:27 – 36) three of HIS Apostles (i.e. Peter, James and John) after earlier telling all his disciples with HIM then (Luke 9:18) that ‘there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the kingdom of God’ (Luke 9:27; Matthew 16:28). In that vision these three Apostles actually literally, plainly and clearly saw Moses and Elijah talking to a ‘transfigured’ JESUS (i.e. the vision of a glorified HOLY SPIRIT JESUS as opposed to a fresh and blood SON of man) in HIS glory. 

But that vision was not of some real events whether there and then or sometime into the distant future when JESUS would have returned as KING of Kings and LORD of Lords, but just a symbolic message (i.e. an illustrative analogy and allegory) to fulfill (i.e. bring to pass) JESUS CHIRST's prophecy to HIS disciples that ‘some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power’ (Mark 9:1). So that vision has nothing to do with any real event occurrence but just a vision to convey a message. They (those three Apostles) were not transported (aka caught up) ‘whether in the body’ or ‘whether out of the body’ to the future or to the ‘third heaven’.

So now unless we would also as the Apostle Paul had done, lust willfully in deliberated stupidity pretend to not understand so we can refuse to understand, we would (or should anyway) know that the Paradise of the Scripture of Truth never at any time in all the times the Scriptures used the term ever referred to GOD's throne in the Third Heaven or any other heaven, but to a specific place on earth which is always in the same geographical location on earth whether during the beginning of humankind made in the image and likeness of GOD, or when the Kingdom of GOD is once again occupying the Promise Land where humankind, all those will repent, will have access to receive eternal life (symbolized by the Tree of Life) to be born as immortal HOLY SPIRIT composed Sons of the ALMIGHTY CREATOR GOD.

Here I thought that I will just mention that one of the two primary reasons humankind go mad (i.e. become insane, from technical to totally) outside of physiological injury to the brain andor the effect of some chemicals introduce into the body, is extreme lust. The other reason being severe distress especially a prolong period of traumatic distress. In the former case lust seeded desires andor “needs” lead to desperately wanting fantasies to become reality which leads first to delusion, then ultimately (if unchecked) to varying degree of psychotic disorders and psychosis.

The Christian Holy Scriptures is very plainly and very explicitly clear that all (the members of humankind both Saints and sinners are evil (Romans 3:10 – 12; Matthew 7:11; Psalm 14:2 – 3; 53:2 – 3), and if we have to rank the twelve Apostles from the most evil to the least (based on their commitment, sincerity and faithfulness to LORD JESUS and GOD) than the Apostle Paul would top this list while the Apostle John would be at the bottom.

The Apostle Paul was the one person (of the New Covenant Scripture writers) most responsible for taking the Gospel off message to promote himself in self deception (Jeremiah 17:9) to make himself (in his image of himself aka ego image) more important than the Gospel message, and in doing this he laid the ground work for all evil doers (including nearly all the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives among the Elect of today) to corrupt the truth from GOD with twists, spins and lust seeded, fed and nurtured inventions.

Even as this work discusses many of the Apostle Paul's evil work in several posts, a specific discussion on the Apostle Paul and his evil work through which he deliberately corrupted the message of the Gospel to advance and promote himself because of his ego supergorging lust, will be published in the (still pending at time of this discussion) post, ‘Sinners Or Saints – Which’ in the blog ‘The End Of The World’ of this author. 

Of course the Apostle Paul was not the only one or the only Apostle who embraced evil because he wanted to be supreme, all the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives (including the Apostle Peter and the Bishop James the half brother of the SON of man) among the Elect (i.e. the true Christians) did (of those who have since died) and they are all still doing so today in the one and only Church of GOD as well as in all the other splintered groups calling themselves the Churches of GOD (with some convoluted twisted terms in place of the word GOD and the word Church).

Refusing To Believe The Consistent Record Of The Scriptures

Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.
John 5:28 – 29

For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

John 6:38 – 40

The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, saying: “Teacher, Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother. Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh. Last of all the woman died also. Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.”

Matthew 22:23 – 28 (similarly Mark 12:18 – 23; Luke 20:27 – 36)

For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

1 Thessalonian 4:15 – 17

And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.

Revelation 20:4 – 6

However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep.

Then Jesus said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him.”

Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with Him.”

So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days. Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away. And many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.

Now Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house. Now Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”

Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”

Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”

John 11:13 – 24

Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.

John 5:28 – 29

But those who are counted worthy to attain that age, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

Luke 20:35 – 36

Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

Hebrews 6:1 – 2

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

1 Corinthians 15:50 – 52

Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:11 – 15

All the Scriptures consistently (i.e. the Scripture of Truth in the entirety of its consistent record and message) recorded of the dead (i.e. all those who have died believing) in CHRIST (i.e. all the repentant true Christians) only resurrecting to life again at the time of the Second Advent of JESUS CHRIST when HE will return at the End of The Age (i.e. end of the Age of Man) to restore the Kingdom of GOD to the Promise Land.

But all the ultra mega super supremely intelligent geniuses because they literally and absolutely are ultra mega super supremely intelligent geniuses and they just absolutely must be ultra mega super supremely intelligent geniuses will (i.e. in all likelihood for the reason and cause of deliberated stupidity) proclaimed:

“Well, when Jesus Christ died on the day He (i.e. His immortal soul) immediately (i.e. in an instant by fiat) went to heaven together with that contrite and repentant criminal who (i.e. his immortal soul) was crucified beside Him. This is because that is what all those (i.e. of humankind) who died ‘very naturally’ do, their immortal souls very totally completely naturally either go straight to heaven or to hell with a possibility of also some intermediate temporary place for those who not very evil where these immortal souls will be tested and evaluated until it can be determined if these immortal souls will ultimately get sent to heaven or to the forever torment and torture of hell).

And only after Jesus Christ's immortal soul the immortal soul of the repentant criminal crucified with Him, together went up to heaven and then Jesus returned to earth two nights and one day later (i.e. counting from after midnight of Good Friday through until the midnight of Saturday — because Jesus despite being a Trinity God was very obviously ignorant and uneducated those had no idea how how to count from one to three and therefore just did not know that Friday night to Saturday after midnight into Sunday before dawn) can't add up to three days and three nights) returning after midnight Saturday so that He can show Himself to Mary Magdalene in order to deceive her that His had no yet ascended to His Father (i.e, to Heaven) because she being His ultra mega top secret wife, she will become very upset that He went and presented Himself to His Father first instead of to her. This Jesus deliberately did so that He can make all the things recorded in the Scripture of Truth of all the dead in CHRIST (i.e. the true Christians) resurrecting to (immortal SPIRIT) life only at HIS Second Advent, in order that He can nullify and invalidate the Scripture of Truth into a totally piece of meaningless communication that must be discarded so that the Council of Nicene or Nicaea in the Nicene Creed under the supreme absolute authority of the Great Catholic Popes, each, every and all the Popes in their succession lineages, can be the one and only infallible definitive definer of the Creator God and the Christian religion.”

So what do you (the readers) think? 

Did JESUS CHRIST do that? Did HE die on that very day (claimed as Friday by the Great Catholic Church and all her Nicene Creed daughters including near all the rest of humankind through their recognition of this Great Catholic Church and all of her rebellious daughter Protestant churches as authentic Christian) then HE and that repentant criminal crucified beside HIM, immediately went up to third heaven to the so called Paradise in the third heaven?

Did HE then came back down again just two nights and one day later (i.e. counting from after midnight of Good Friday through until the midnight of Saturday) because HE being a totally uneducated carpenter didn't know how to count three days and three nights, returning after midnight (because in the Gregorian and also Julian Calendar, a day ends and a new day starts at midnight while in the Scriptures of Truth the day ends and a new one starts at sunset) Saturday on Sunday morning so as to be able to show HIMSELF to Mary Magdalene just so HE could totally lie to her (being totally afraid that she being HIS wife might become very, very upset that HE went up to third heaven first rather show HIMSELF to her first because she being HIS top super secret wife HE must totally make her feel that she is HIS top most priority) pretending to ask her not to cleave to HIM because HE had yet to ascend to HIS FATHER?

And was the reason JESUS did this because HE wanted to make the Scriptures of Truth into a meaningless utter nonsense through totally lying all the time in HIS testimonies in order that the “great infallible” Catholic Pope of the Great Catholic Church and all her Protestant churches can be the ultra mega supreme definitive authoritative Superlatives of “Christianity” so that they will have power derived from the support their social order to command the sadistic torture to the death of anyone and everyone they would desired to pronounce as heretics, as committing heresy?

Why would anyone at all who claimed to hold and believe the Christian Holy Scriptures as the inspired Word of GOD just take one verse (or a few select verses and passages) from these Scriptures to advance and teach a doctrine that totally contradicts the entire consistent record of this Scriptures?

The only reason anyone would do such a thing can only be because they have been totally insincere (i.e. brazenly lying to themselves and to the GOD of this Scriptures) because they are more interested in advancing themselves for any number of reasons be these reasons: ego gorging lust to think and hold themselves as somehow, in some ways or in all ways, supremely supreme in the most absolute sense; andor so as they may get the rest of insanely stupid humankind to worship and obey them as the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of whatever they lusted to advance and show them as the proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives of; andor so that they can prey and parasite of all of those insanely stupid humankind who are stupid and gullible enough to believe and worship them as whatever proclaimed and acclaimed Superlatives they presented themselves to be.

Death Bed Conversion The Second Issue Of Luke 23 Verse 42

Those of you (i.e. the readers of this discussion) who find the discussion thus far either eye opening or informative or both, you might also want to check out the fourth and final installment of this discussion where we examine the issue of death bed confession whether this verse of Luke 23 verse 42 explicitly communicated this so called infallible truth of the Christmas religion of a God who is in total and complete desperation trying to save humankind from going to a hell of eternal torture before it is too late when they draw their last breath and go to that hell to be forever horrendously sadistically tortured, or burned alive (either cases depending on which of the so called Abrahamic religions and their thousands to millions of iterations eachall with their own set of varying differing doctrinal iterations) while they are totally dead because obviously (because that is what these doctrines explicitly in deliberated stupidity teach how else would it be possible for them to be tortured or burned forever and continued to be tortured or burned forever if they are not alive and living when and after they have died) humankind all have an immortal soul that is totally “immortal” and totally separated from their lives which is totally mortal (otherwise why would they die in the first place).

We will also discuss another ‘putting two and two together’ issue on why people (including the Elect and even Apostles and Messengers heading GOD's Church and GOD's people, throughout the Church's journey through the centuries to today) could (or rather would) not understand things that were so clearly recorded in the Christian Holy Scriptures.
