Why did the one thief believe and the other not mack..He was hanging on a cross..he knew he was going to die and to be judged..but he did not even hedge his bet...

There is a whole lota of stupid out there Mom. :)

Why? Where did his faith come from?

It came from God, just as the other man's did, the one who was saved, just believed it, the other one did not, any old dummy can understand this, I did. :)

Mack you understood it because God gave you a new heart.

The resaon everyone does not get it is they have hearts of stone

Ezekiel 36:26-27 - "26 A new heart also will give you, and a new spirit will put within you: and I take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I give you an heart of flesh. 27 And I put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them."

Jesus said you could not even see the Kingdom of God..let alone desire it unless you were born again..He opened your heart

Acts 16:14 - "And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul."

Mack you did not choose him..he chose you

Romans 10:20 - "But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me."
