Nope again, sorry. Never said you were a “dummy” just that you weren’t doing the research and study you should. It makes no difference whether you agree with me or not as I showed you the Scriptures that were pertinent to the questions. I pointed out why the Scripture you cited was not about the soul yet all this goes right over your head.
And you’ve not thought about this Scripture in Luke enough to ask if Jesus was dead for three days and Peter said his soul was in “hell” how is it He would be with the man in paradise “today”? The man asked to be remembered when Christ came into His kingdom, Was paradise His kingdom? Did Jesus enter into His kingdom that day?
Since the Greek had no comma with “today” the questions above indicate the context. But yet again-you attibute to me things I didn’t say, pretexts and old saws while you offer up Scriptures you evidently haven’t made an effort to understand. I asked two simple questions and look what you answered. Do you want to continue trying or take some time to consider the Scriptures I pointed out?

Yes, I’m certainly in over my head with somebody as well studied and smart as you.

Jesus said, “To day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.”

No comma necessary.

Just what it so very plainly says.

Jesus spoke in Luke 16 about the rich man who awoke in the Hell after he died, tormented by the flame, while the beggar Lazarus was carried off by the anjels to enjoy the comfort of Abraham’s bosom.

And there are the souls “under the altar” to whom God is speaking in Revelation.

You and I see these things very differently. We are looking at the same words, but they evoke different meanings because of our different perspectives.

I don’t expect to be able to change your mind, and you won’t be able to change mine.

But you still have not answered the question I’ve been posing to you.

Is Jesus God incarnate?

Please, just a simple yes or no.
