No, Jesus was tempted/tormented by Satan during his 40-day fast in the desert at the beginning of His 3-year ministry, quite alive at the age 30. He, the first Adam, overcame those temptations at that time, as created Adam failed to do, and thus proved that He, indeed, was the sinless and pure Lamb of God. When He descended into hell, after his death, as mentioned in the Apostles Creed, it was to speak to those believing souls who were resting in the “Bosom of Abraham” telling them that the promise given to Adam and Eve, on the day of their fall, had been fulfilled. The devil had no part of this, he was not present in that part of hell (described as the Bosom of Abraham in one of His parables) where the souls of godly men and women dwelt. Those old testament saints were subsequently taken into paradise.
Agree... Parable of the rich man... This born again theology is not Scriptural... Each soul/spirit is given the opportunity to take a flesh journey. At the end of that flesh journey, the flesh returns to the dust from whence it came... The soul/spirit returns to the Maker that sent the soul/spirit at conception...
The Mount of transfiguration demonstrated that the soul/spirit body looks like the flesh body.
I completely agree with everything except this.
“Those old testament saints were subsequently taken into paradise.”
Paradise was Abraham’s bosom that’s why Jesus said today you will be with me in paradise. Jesus then led the OT saints to Heaven making him the first fruit. Every since then when a believer dies they go straight to Heaven.
Ephesians 4:8 King James Version (KJV)
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
2 Corinthians 5:8 King James Version (KJV)
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
