However Josh you mentioned that
Where is paradise and if Christ went there what was the purpose of His ascension later? Also, Christ tells Mary Magdalene after the discovery that the stone was rolled away from the tomb, "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father." If Christ had not yet ascended to the Father where is paradise?

Paradise is Abraham's Bosom, located in Gehenna, along side Hell. The two are sepparated by a "great gulf". Christ had not yet ascended to the Father in Heaven.
