Talk:Bosom of Abraham

message: The article talks about the phrase as it's used within Christianity and especially Roman Catholicism, but it seems to make it clear enough that it's talking about their views, not espousing it as wikipedia's own. So, I'm taking off the NPOV tag, at least until someone else raises a more specific objection. Wesley 15:27, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

message: There are too many statements in this article that have no sources cited and that are flat out wrong. I could not get through the first 2 paragraphs before I labeled this article as complete trash.
The statements in this article that do have sources are weak or irrelevant at best. 
An example of this is the following statement,
"This relates to the Second Temple period practice of reclining and eating meals in proximity to other guests, the closest of whom physically was said to lie on the bosom (chest) of the host. "
The Jewish belief during The Second temple period would have nothing to do with John 1:18 and John 13:23 which are the citations for the source of the statement.
The quote from Maccabees does not even talk about "Abraham's bosom" as a separate place in Sheol.
""after our death in this fashion Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will receive us and all our forefathers will praise us" (4 Maccabees 13:17)"
Another example is the statement about the book of Enoch. The article says,
"The pseudepigraphic Book of Enoch describes travels through the cosmos and divides Sheol into four sections: for the truly righteous, the good, the wicked awaiting judgment at the resurrection, and the wicked that will not even be resurrected."
The book of Enoch says nothing about the resurrection of the dead This is clearly an insertion of a theological belief into the Book of Enoch. The Book of Enoch does not teach that Sheol is divided into four sections either.
I cannot continue reading this article because it contains so much error in the first two paragraphs alone. The article is based off the writers own theological perspective and not on verified historical facts. It needs to be wiped out and rewritten.  
The idea of Hades having a Paradise in it comes from Greek mythology.
"In the classical period the mystic religions and mystic prophets (e.g. the Orphics and Pythagoreans), as well as the philosophers, modified the realm of the dead to include an Elysian paradise for the good, and a Tartarean hell for the wicked. Souls were judged and assigned a suitable afterlife, and in some versions cast into cycles of purgatory and reincarnation. (See Haides II, the Mystics' Land of the Dead--still under construction, Sep. 2007.)"
