****It’s too easy to lead to deception going into areas that cannot be clearly supported by Scripture.****

You mean like thinking Moses’ soul went to heaven and he was given a new body so he could return to earth?

Well, remember when that happened it was BEFORE Jesus was buried and he led the souls that were in Paradise into Heaven, once he had opened the gates to it. So Moses must have been in Paradise, not Heaven, and it was both his soul and a "type" of body that he along with Elijah had when they appeared with Jesus on the Mount of Transfiguration. As the story of the rich man and Lazarus says, they both had some kind of body because the rich man was in torments begging Abraham to let Lazarus dip his "finger" into water to cool his thirst. These people were said to see, hear, feel, think, etc., all the things just a spirit could not experience. Why wouldn't there be a sort of "temporary" body given to those who die before the time when the resurrections happen at the end? I'm just asking for discussion here, not thinking up some kind of new "heresy". :)
