"Neither Christ nor the apostles taught the concept of limbo and the early church didn't believe it." What do you then call the state that in which the souls of the Patriarchs were held, the Bosom of Abraham, while awaiting Christ's opening gates of Heaven?

Rnmomof7: That is not a PLACE; it is a position -- as if reclining on Abraham.
Mat 8:11 "And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven."
