Since Jesus didn't go to the Father for 3 days after the resurrection, and Jesus told the thief "today you will be with me in Paradise", (I assume the Father is in Heaven), where is Paradise? Certainly not Hell, since the thief would not be comforted by that.

Thank you Katherine for writing! The tradition says that Jesus went to Abraham's bosom (Luke 16) which is a place of "comfort." Then they extrapolate that this place is Paradise, in Hades, the comfort side of "hell." In my video I explain 5 reasons why Abraham's Bosom can not be Paradise. You can see it at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cim_zN-4Iaw&t=4s
I also cover it in my book, chapter 8. I hope this answers your question. Please write again.
