Subject: Luke 23:43 where is the thief? |
Bible Note: I'm not one to hypthosize whether a passage is being spoken literally or figuratively. So, I assume passages are speaking literally until something is provided in the passage to assume otherwise. There are many passages that have both types of meanings. In the case of the thief on the cross, I believe that Jesus is speaking in a literal sense. There is little, if any, markers in the context to assume different. This is a historical recording of an event that has been proven to be Historically accurate. Jesus tells the thief that he will be with christ that day in paradise. There is nothing provided to assume that this passage should be read in anything other than literally true. Jesusman |
