Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in heaven
[edit | edit source]Interpretation by Victor Porton; not presented as scholarly consensus.
Matthew 8:11: "But I say to you that many will come from east and west, and will recline with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven."
The author argues that this passage challenges the assertion that salvation is limited to those who lived after Jesus' earthly ministry: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are explicitly depicted in the kingdom of Heaven.
