With regard to John 19:30, “It is finished” refers to the Old Covenant, not Jesus’s mission. Jesus’s mission was not completed until He presented His blood before the Father on the third day. Hebrews 9:12 (which also fulfills the type of the Day of Atonement).

As for the thief, he did not enter into heaven on Good Friday. According to John 3, he had to have been born again to “see” the kingdom of God. That could not happen until Jesus had been resurrected. 1 Corinthians 15:13-17. Therefore whe the thief died, he went to Abraham’s bosom, just like everyone else did.

Acts 2:27 plainly says that Jesus’s soul was in hades. I understand that Grudem says something different than that, but that is for next week.

Since there is no punctuation as such in the Greek language, where we decide we want to place a comma can really have a strong impact on how a verse reads.<br/><br/>Great discussion, Laurel!

Great discussion, Laurel!

About hell being seperation from God. Good point, that is true. I think that seems to make sense, but like I said I'll do more studying.! Oooh, I also like Cyndi’s comment.
