The Essene Monk had not been made out of sugar and spice and the Heavenly Park development plans had not been approved in Council .
Stop being foolish Ze Bra .
Even today Germs are rightly banned from certain parts of the park ( litter louts), and Uncle Adolf is only allowed to preach at certain times and on certain days .
Real life can't be considered along with religion's superstitious beliefs.
Any Christian who is smart enough to try will be walking into Ding's world of doubting and anguishing. .
Does anybody really want to willingly take on the bible being not literally true, along with Ding?
Remain silent with your ability to see through the religious nonsense and save yourself a lot of pain.

The remnant - the few Israelites who actually worshipped their God - lay in a sort limbo, Abraham's Bosom, until the resurrection.

It's my understanding and belief that the spirits of people went to the grave and remained there until Jesus resurrected them (spiritually) sometime after his own resurrection. Since then the spirits of Jesus's faithful followers immediately go to Heaven.

When it comes to the Abrahamic religions, I always found it interesting that prior to the Hebrews creating their one God only, guilt-ridden religion, concept, they never mentioned their ancestors who existed prior to conceiving the idea of a one God and his rules and what might have supposedly happened to them on death.
Or....why God didn't present him/herself to them hundreds/thousands of years before the Hebrews started their belief system. Did God just shrug them off or not think about it.

The answer is No, they could not go to Heaven. The Bible is very clear about where those who favored God went when they died. It is called Abraham's Bosom/Paradise. It is described in detail in Luke 16: 19-31 They waited there for Christ to pay for their sins before they could go to the Father. It was located near Hell. <They were separated by a deep chasm. It is where Jesus went before He returned to earth. He gathered those in Abraham's Bosom, and they returned with Him. The graves that opened during the earthquake while Christ was on the cross gave them access to their own, now glorified, bodies. They all stayed for 40 days before ascending.
Matthew 27:52-53 The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people.
It is appointed to man to die once.
Hebrews 9:27 "And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment.
So far, there are two humans who haven't met that criterion. Enoch and Elijah. I have a feeling they will be the two prophets put to death in the street while the world watches, and see them rise up 3 and 1/2 days later.

That resurrection that occurred after Christ's resurrection occurred simultaneously with the judgement, when the temple fell.
