Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, "To DAY" shalt thou be with me in paradise. Jesus did not ascend until several days had passed. Therefore the logical conclusion is, the repentant thief went to paradise ahead of Jesus;
Jesus said to the thief on the cross, "Truly, truly, I say unto you, today you will be with Me in paradise."
Two criminals, often called the "good" thief and the "bad" thief. The "good" thief admitted his sin and accepted Jesus on the cross. The"good thief" asked to come with Jesus to be with him; Jesus told him today you will be with me in paradise. He is said to be the first Saint as he went directly to Heaven by God's order.
there were .. in his time many were punished by crucifying .. on example is the repentant thief , whom Jesus had forgiven ..
St. Dismas was the repentant thief.
Jesus was executed with two convicted men, thieves, who had rightfully broken the law. One of whom asked for forgiveness from Jesus. And, Jesus forgives him. Not much is said about the other convicted man, but he did not seek forgiveness from Jesus.The two are mentioned in non-canonical books. In the First Infancy Gospel, the forgiven thief is called Titus and the impenitent man is Dumachus.The Gospel of Nicodemus and Catholic tradition names the repentant thief, Dismas, but not the other.
The thief on the cross beleived in Jesus and was saved.
The Bible doesn't say that one of the theives went to hell, but that the other thief went to heaven. People just assume that he went to hell because he was a theif. The reason that the other thief went to heaven was because he believed Jesus.
When Jesus wwas on the cross one thief mocked Jesus, but the other repented and Jesus said that he would be in paradise today . three days after he rose to Heaven.
Yes, it is a promise. Soon, Jesus will return to Rapture (take to heaven) his church. Be ready. The Bible says Jesus' return will surprise eveyone. It will be like a thief in the night.
no, only 2 other thieves were hung along with him. the thief on his right became a believer at the last minute and joined Jesus in heaven.
Referring to Luke 23:39-43, the thief first acknowledges that he is receiving just punishment (death), and that Jesus had done nothing wrong to receive this punishment. His request to Jesus, "Remember me when you come into your kingdom." implies the thief is putting his trust in Jesus for salvation.
regaurdless what people may say jesus said it will come as a thief in the night he also said no man knows the hour not even him only the father in heaven knows
