I have a question related to Hades/Sheol and Abraham's bosom, because this is all new to me... Question: "When we Christians die, if we go to a temporary place in Hades/Sheol named Abraham's bosom, and if Abraham's bosom is a separate place from Heaven, then why does Paul say "My desire is to depart and be with Christ" in Philippians 1:23. Where is the Lord when Paul says this?.... Didn't Paul become an Apostle only after the Lord's ascension (Acts 9). Didn't the Lord ascend into Heaven in Acts 1:9-1. Also considering what it says in Hebrews 1:3 where is the Lord is seated? What about Stephen, before he got stoned to death, he saw Heaven open in Acts 7:54-60. What about Enoch and Elijah who went up to Heaven without dying (Hebrews 11:5 Genesis 5:24, 2nd Kings 2:11) Those passages say Heaven. What about Hebrews 9:27? When we die do we face judgement and then immediately go to Abraham's bosom? Is it possible that Abraham's bosom and Heaven are the same place? But if it's not, then how do we make sense of all the other passages that indicate Heaven. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards John.
