Paradise is a transferable locale because the presence of Christ is what makes the reality Paradise. The criminal was with Christ in Paradise/Abraham’s Bosom in the underworld on Good Friday, Paul visited Paradise in the third heaven where Christ currently dwells (2 Cor 12:2, 4; Phil 1:21-26; 3:20), and the saints enter Paradise in the New Jerusalem because the lamb (Christ) will dwell there forever and ever (Rev 2:7; 21:22; 22:1-5, 14). Wherever Christ is, there is Paradise.
