Yup, Eternal Life. Not dozing away, but Eternal Life. There’s no breaks in Eternal. Here’s an example.

Luke 23:39-43

[39] One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!”

[40] But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? [41] We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

[42] Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

[43] Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.”

If you want to believe the thief is sleeping, you go for it.

“Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.””

Literal greek translation:

“To you I am saying today with me you will be in the paradise”

Clearly a translator punctuation error, what’s being described is the future, as Jesus was in the grave 3 days and nights before he was risen from the dead. The error also contradicts other clear scriptures on the subject.

Ecclesiastes 9:10

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.

Ecclesiastes 9:5

For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

1 Corinthians 15:52

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
