No bait, just facts. Keep away from them at your own peril.

Luke 23:42-43

42 And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!” 43 And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

Jesus hasn’t come in His kingdom. Jesus knew the word for Heaven. He didn’t use it. Paradise isn’t Heaven.

For Christians ignorance is not bliss.

I knew you would divert from the topic of the post. So let me refresh your sweet memorey...

Jesus told the thief He would be with Him that very day.....and since it’s written we are immediately in the presence of the Lord at death, of course then so was the thief...and it did not require anything on his part but belief. He acknowleded Christ’s sinlessness...acknowledged his own sinful condition....and then looked to Jesus....simple yes...beautiful..without question.

You just proved my statement your were baiting....otherwise you would not have gone ahead and attempt to change the subject from the salvation of the thief, which salvation is what the thread is about. I mentioned nothing about heaven nor Paradise. It's getting pretty easy to tell ones church just by the tactics used.
