What about the blood of the Good Thief crucified with Jesus?
Jesus told him “Today you will be with me in paradise.”
That “paradise” was a waiting place for all the people before Jesus’ crucifixion — they were waiting for Jesus to open up heaven by being the First One to Enter Heaven.
“What about the blood of the Good Thief crucified with Jesus?”
The thief was justly executed though, for actual crimes he committed (I have to assume of course). We say he is “good”, but only because he was washed cleaned by the blood of Christ, through faith. He certainly was not “good” before that, and so I doubt God considers his execution a murder that must be answered for.
This reminds me of an exchange in “Oh Brother Where Art Thou”, where one of the fugitive prisoners thinks that, since they just got baptized, the authorities shouldn’t be chasing them anymore:
Pete: “The preacher said it absolved us.”
Everett: “For him, not for the law! I’m surprised at you, Pete. Hell, I gave you credit for more brains than Delmar.”
Delmar: “But there were witnesses, saw us redeemed!”
Everett: “That’s not the issue, Delmar. Even if it did put you square with the Lord, the State of Mississippi is more hardnosed.”
