contrary to what tradition teaches, there were actually four crucified with Christ on Calvery.
Jesus christ as well as the two thieves died on the cross on good friday.
According to the Bible, Jesus died before the two thieves who were crucified with him. This is commonly referred to as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
It is not recorded in the bible, but I feel Christ died first , as they used nails on him and pierced his side. This was not done to the robbers, they had been tied with rope.
We are only told what the scriptures tell us about these two unfortunates. The one asked Christ that he might join Him in his kingdom, while the other ridiculed Christ. You will remember that Christ said that in His fathers kingdom there are many mansions, and that He would go and prepare a place for them. What Christ was saying was that in heaven there are many types of kingdoms or rewards that a person may be assigned to when they die, apart from the spirit world where all are taught the gospel. The kind thief was in a way repenting of his sins, while the other did not. Each would possible receive a different glory.
Too Many Thieves was created in 1966.
The scriptures only give reference to two thieves who were crucifies along side Christ. This was done so that the answer to one of the thieves could be know by all. That of there being different degrees of glory in heaven to which all mankind will be asigned to one.
