Bible Question: Luke 23:43,Jesus talking to the theif on the cross...is this a punctuation error or is the theif in paradise at this moment? |
Bible Answer: lluvgod, Greetings and welcome to the forum. This has been a topic of some controversy in the past. One thing that can make figuring things out somewhat simpler is to realise back when the original manuscripts were written there were no verse divisions and probably no punctuation, at least not as we know it today. Punctuation has been a source of error and disagreement for years. One thing that may help when you come across passages that aren't clear is to take them in light of those that are clear regarding whatever it is you are studying out. In Him, lionheart |
