Thanks for the definition of how that English word is used today. However, the New Testament was written in Greek 1900 years ago.
Thus, I posted the Greek.

Sorry. Don't recognize Catholic spin Greek from any of their "accepted" sources.
1. that which is seen, spectacle
2. a sight divinely granted in an ecstasy or in a sleep, a vision
Really?
That’s interesting.
I don’t have a Catholic concordance. I gave you Strong’s, referenced from the KJV.
Oh you mean the one I just referenced in #23?

Seems so many of you miss this...For those that don't know this, it's called Abraham's Bosom...And it WAS in Hell...
This place is a chamber in Hell...And the OT Saints were locked in...They were held captive...They were locked in with GATES...
Jesus came and took captivity captive...Jesus unlocked the GATES OF HELL...The Gates of Hell would no longer prevail over the church (Matt.16:18)...
The GATES OF HELL have nothing to do with the church in this age because the gates are open...It has NOTHING to do with the church being infallible, or without error...
What is has to do with is: that place some called limbo, or purgatory is GONE...There is no purgatory...
And secondly, the way to Heaven is Repentance and belief in Jesus Christ...And THAT, is the Key bit of information one has to know...And those are the Keys that were given to Peter and the Apostles...
Praise God...No one is under the threat of purgatory...No bondage to purgatory...The Gates are wide open...
As the Apostle Paul said, 'To absent from the body is to be present with the Lord'...No purgatory...
Once again you are displaying your ignorance of Scripture.
Sorry, we don’t accept your ignorance of the topic as definitive of the truth.
Arent there some candles waiting to wrap around your neck or something?
Apparently then, you figure you're pretty sharp when it comes to the scripture...Well here's your opportunity to shine...
Show us why Jesus went to Hell after He died...
Show us purgatory in the scriptures...
Show us what the Gates of Hell are in the scriptures...
Show us what the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven are in the scriptures...
Where’d you go???
