Your response is nonsensical. Christ plainly told Mary He had yet to ascend to His Father. 1 Peter 3:18,19 plainly states Christ was in the spirit world teaching His Gospel. Your efforts to equate paradise with heaven are scripturally unsupported.

He was in prison.
See verse 20.

Christ did not have time to ascend to his Father because for three days he was wrestling Satan over the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. So no he was not teaching His Gospel to spirits.

Spirit world is “abraham’s bosom”. Not nonsensical at all. But if you only read the Bible through LDS glasses, you may not get it.

Yes, that's true. He hadn't ascended to his Father IN HIS BODY. Note that the rest of the disciples didn't touch Him either; doubting Thomas was invited, but did not dare.

No need for a separate 'paradise' unless you're already looking for one.
