What about those who lived before Christ who never had the opportunity to accept His salvation? To hell with them?!
They waited in Limbo and when Christ descended into hell after His Crucifixion He gathered them up and took them to their Reward.
Is there a verse about this place called “limbo”? Never heard of it.
In Greek iconography is depicted Christ Adam, Eve, Moses, etc. Here is one example: https://www.flickr.com/photos/vtamari/5647757781/ Also Limbo of the Patriarchs: (The Limbo of the Fathers) - A place and state of rest wherein the souls of the just who died before Christ's ascension were detained until he opened Heaven to them; referred to as "Abraham's Bosom" (Luke xvi,22) and "Paradise" (Luke xxiii, 43) and notably in Eph. IV, 9 and I Peter iii, 18-20.
Indeed I agree but disagree on one point. Jesus, the man was taken up by angels NO MAN has ascended accept he who came down. God came down and was the Spirit in Jesus but the body as a man was taken but the spirit ascended. This gives God complete sovereignty over who enters his domain, Heaven John 3:13 (KJV) And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, [even] the Son of man which is in heaven.
The second half of the Gospel of Nicodemus goes over this.
