What you must understand is there is no history of the thief on the cross, that's why I used the "yes or no" and for you to assume for me you are the one adding to God's word, and if you go back and read my statement you will note that I said "it doesn't matter what the thief did" but it matters what we are to do and that's hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, and believe and obey it! 2nd Samuel 22! |

Question I would like to ask...when was the thief forgiven? Before or after Christ's death? If it was BEFORE...then how is it that forgiveness of the thief applies to us who live AFTER Christ's death? Through HIM, TOFT |

Christ forgave the thief under the OLD law...we are under the NEW law now...Jesus' NEW testament hadn't begun until He had died...because with a new testament there is a nessecity of the death of a Testator, Jesus Christ (Hebrews 9:16-22). We CANNOT apply the thief on the cross on the basis of salvation. He was forgiven under the OLD law, not the NEW. The thief on the cross...is a good example of humbleness and Jesus' power on earth to forgive. But it doesn't apply to us, because Christ is NOT on the earth and His NEW law is in effect. Hope that helps to explain. Please read the following site for more details: http://www.tftw.org/Tracts/saved_thief.html Through HIM, TOFT |

Greetings Toft! Two points if I may my friend! 1) I thought that the New Testament taught that no one could be saved under Law (Rom. 8:3 among many others). So, how could the thief's salvation differ from ours? 2) Secondly, how is the New way better if it requires both works and repentance, while the Old way only required repentance?
