#EDEM PARADISE GREECE FULL#

If Jesus had meant вЂheavenвЂ™ he could have said вЂheavenвЂ™.Д®ven if, for arguments sake, paraiso somehow meant вЂheaven,вЂ™ Jesus could not be with the man there, since had not been resurrected and ascended yet.ДЈ) Did the resurrection start on that day? Obviously the Paradise-like garden in Genesis was long-gone by 33 CE, and there was no paraiso in 33 CE. Indeed, paradise (Greek: paraiso) is the same word that was used to describe the Paradise of Delights in the land of Edem (Garden of Eden) in the Greek Septuagint (the popular вЂBibleвЂ™ of JesusвЂ™ day). It means a garden or park, a place that is here on earth. Jesus chose to use the word paradise, a word that does not mean heaven. He was dead.Дў) What is вЂparadise?вЂ™ And did it exist on that day? So Jesus himself says that he was not in his Kingdom on the day he died. In John 20:17, after he was resurrected, Jesus said: вЂI havenвЂ™t ascended to the Father yetвЂ™. Jesus was not resurrected until two days later, and did not ascend into heaven until 40 days later. LetвЂ™s look at other verses to answer this question: was it possible for the man to be resurrected to paradise under the Kingdom, back then in 33 CE? However, Jesus is talking about things talked about elsewhere in the Bible: So how can we know where to put the comma? There are no parallel accounts, only Luke records this. The correct translation, therefore, can have serious implications. They feel that Jesus was confirming that the criminal was rewarded with a resurrection to heaven on that very day.

Therefore this is a proof-text for those who believe that good people immediately go to heaven when they die. The difference is important since some understand вЂparadiseвЂ™ to mean heaven. The same ambiguity is present in the Ancient Greek. In the second way, Jesus is just telling him about it today, but the paradise could be some future time. In the first way, Jesus is saying that the man will be in paradise later today. Now, was Jesus saying (as most Bibles put it), вЂ I tell you, today you will be with me in paradiseвЂ™, or was he saying (as many believe), вЂвЂ I tell you today, you will be with me in paradiseвЂ™?Дo you see the difference? If we move the comma, what Jesus was saying changes. вЂAmen, soi ego semeron met emou ese en to paradeisoвЂ™ДЄmen, to/you I/say today with me you will be in the paradise Then Jesus replied (literally, from a Greek source text): One of the criminals that was hung next to Jesus asked Jesus to remember him when he got into his Kingdom. However, sometimes a single comma can change the meaning of a text. Readers had to insert pauses and stops themselves by understanding the context.
