Bible Question:
Addressing the erroneous assumptions. Let's start with another set of them. 1. Let's assume Jesus didn't watch Barabbas "walk" away. But he knew Barabbas would be in the vicinity of his disciples. They certainly did follow the crowd and witnessed what was happening to our Lord. Peter came eye to eye with Jesus didn't he? 2. Surely if one of them made an attempt to witness to him they would have recorded it. 3.4 I don't think it's off base to assume someone that experienced what Barabbas did. Would consider it providence whatever name he would give "it" and be open to true change. 5.Allah, God, Jehovah, Yahweh, which ever one it was. He certainly intervened in Barabbas's life! I tried to write a short story on this subject but as I tried to find facts to use I couldn't. So I started with what some of the things that Barabbas would have heard about Jesus as he was eating in a restaurant Why do people insist on hating this man because Jesus traded places with him? It was preordained that it would happen. To this man it was a miracle! To the disciples it was injustice. Either way I don't believe he made it to paradise with the thief that died with Christ!!

Bible Answer: Hi NIGHTMAN. I agree with what others have said in reply to your question, what follows is incidental, but might be of interest to you. NKJV - Mat 27:16 - And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas. Footnote: NU-Text reads Jesus Barabbas. Barabbas is an Aramaic expression which means, "We do not know his family name, so we describe him as, son of his father", this word is made up of, "Bar", which means, "son of", and, "abba", which means father. Therefore Pilate had before him two men, one, Jesus the Christ, who had said to the Jews, "you do not know my Father", and the other, a notorious criminal, only known as, Jesus son of his father. Jhn 8:19 Then they said to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also." Amazing don't you think parpar. |
