(Catholic view) What was the scriptural basis for the existence of limbo?
score:3
Accepted answer
Addressing the question "Whether the limbo of hell is the same as Abraham's bosom?," St. Thomas Aquinas quotes a few scriptural verses:
The place whither the beggar Lazarus was taken is called Abraham's bosom [Luke 16:22-23]. Now he was taken to hell, for as a gloss [*St. Gregory, Moral. xx] on Job 30:23, "Where a house is appointed for every one that liveth," says: "Hell was the house of all the living until the coming of Christ." Therefore Abraham's bosom is the same as limbo.
