"Ephesians 4:9 refers to the grave."
If that is true, then why is Paul's other reference (1 Cor. 15:55) to the grave not called "the lower parts of the earth"? When speaking of the "grave", he said "grave".
Abraham's bosom was NOT Hell; it was the New Testament equivalent of Paradise, a "holding place" if you will until the redemptive work of Christ was finished.
Both of you brothers have a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Blessed New Year.
Thank You. You also.
