You make these statements as if they are irrefutable truth.....yet no scripture accompanies your claims.
Where does it say in the Bible that “Sheol is divided into three compartments”?
What did the ancient Jews (as opposed to the later apostate Jews) understand “Sheol” to be?
Solomon told us...
“For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. . . . Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.” (Eccl 9:5, 10)
Sheol there, is translated in the KJV as “the grave”.
No one in the grave is alive....they don’t know anything...they can’t work, think, or exercise wisdom in that place. Verse 6 actually tells us that even their “love” has already “perished” along with other emotions. How does a person’s
love “perish” at death if the soul continues to live?
Tartarus is a figurative place for the demons who sinned in Noah’s day.
2 Peter 2:4...
“For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment”. (KJV)
“Hell” there is “Tartarus”...not a place where humans go. It’s a place reserved for satan’s cronies.
Atrocious mistranslation creates false beliefs.....you have swallowed them.
“The bosom of Abraham” according to Jewish belief was a position of favour with God. Abraham being the forefather of all Israel, created a position of favour with God that they counted on to feel secure in their lives even when they defected from his truth.
John the Baptist exposed this belief for what it was....
Matt 3:7-10...
“But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:
9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to ourfather: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.
10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” (KJV)
The human breast is used in the Scriptures to denote closeness, intimacy, and favor.
The expression “bosom position” alludes to one’s reclining in front of another person on the same couch at a meal. (John 13:25; John 21:20)
In Bible times, guests reclined for their meals rather that sitting on a chair at a table.....the lay on their left side with a pillow supporting their left elbow, leaving the right arm free. Usually three persons occupied each couch, but there could be as many as five. The head of each one would be on or near the breast, or bosom, as it were, of the person behind him. The person with no one at his back was considered in the highest position and the one next to him in the second place of honor.
The apostle John had that position at the last supper as the cited scriptures above indicate.
So I challenge your assumption of three “compartments” in Sheol/hades for which there is no scriptural evidence apart from a horribly misinterpreted parable of Jesus, which had nothing to do with ‘life after death’ which Jewish scripture did not teach.
Where does it say that ? Where will I find the doctrine of an immortal soul in scripture ?
Please find me any verse in the Bible that uses the words “immortal soul” side by side.....
A “soul” in the Bible is a living, breathing creature....both man and animals are called “souls”....never is it said to be immaterial. Both live and die the same death....both go to the same place. (Eccl 3:19-20)
Jews believed in a future resurrection...not in a continuation of life after death. Even Job believed in the resurrection...
Job 14:14-15...
“If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.”(KJV)
“shall he live again” doesn’t mean “shall he go on living in another form, in another place”.....”shall he live again” means a resurrection as Job says....”thou shall call and I will answer thee”....like it says in John 5:28-29....Jesus calls the dead from their graves....Job will be among them, along with his entire family, reunited in a beautiful new world under the rule of God’s Kingdom.
When Jesus went to raise his friend Lazarus, where did he say Lazarus was....(John 11:11-14)
He said that Lazarus was “sleeping”.
Where did his sister think his future life would be restored? (John 11: 23-24)
What is “the resurrection at the last day”. She was Jewish....she answered according to Jewish belief.
Where on earth do you get your information...? Certainly NOT from the Bible....
