Jesus Went To Paradise Or Heaven

So, the physical body and soul are together in this life, and, according to the Bible, we get a heavenly body at the resurrection, so if the soul can survive in the next life without a heavenly body, then why do we need to get a heavenly body at the resurrection? I know why: the truth is, the spirit stays with the body 'asleep in Christ' until the resurrection, at which time we receive a heavenly body and the spirit arises with it.

Jesus Went To Paradise Or Heaven

Nowhere in the Bible is a definitive scripture delineating between paradise and heaven, so the question of where Jesus went is subject to pure speculation. The *point* is, that Jesus didn't go anywhere until the 3rd day, so either he flat out lied to the thief about where they'd be that day, or he meant they'd both be sleeping in their respective tombs that day (the more-obvious answer). What's being missed here and sorely-overlooked, is detailed in 1 Cor. Chap. 15.

Jesus Went To Paradise Or Heaven
	1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 disputes the 'theory' that immediately following death the soul/ghost/spirit leaves the body and enters heaven/paradise/bosom. It simply isn't true. The word 'paradise' appears only in 3 verses in the NT and 'heaven' appears 226 times. All should read the black, not the white.
