Paradise And Abraham's Bosom

[Winman]

 I think there are two matters which need to get out of this thread and I will stop participating in them here. I apologize swathdiver.

 

Actually, the topic of the Holy Spirit is completely relevant, why did OT saints have to wait in Abraham's Bosom? And why did the Holy Spirit not indwell OT saints?

 

I think the answer is the same, because Jesus had not ascended to heaven and sprinkled his blood on the mercy seat. Men's sins were not atoned for until Jesus offered his blood in heaven, and the Holy Spirit can only dwell in a clean vessel. I believe after Jesus offered his blood in heaven and men's sins were atoned for, THEN he was able to give the Holy Spirit to men, and the Spirit was able to dwell "in" men, not "upon" them as the OT usually shows.
