I've only just picked up on this discussion and noted this reference to the thief on the cross and paradise. Just wanted to refer those who care to the BD explanation of 'Paradise' which interestingly makes reference to this particular incident. I have enjoyed reading all the comments on this thread. Makes me realise how grateful I am to fellow Saints, for the wealth of knowledge you all have and are prepared to share with the likes of 'the uneducated' - me - through this amazing medium of modern technology, the internet. I am also grateful for the gift of the Holy Ghost that I have been blessed with - what a great and wonderful gift indeed, for surely, it can only be from the Spirit that I am able to clearly discern which parts of the many angles of discussion on this thread I need to take heed of at this time, and which parts are of little consequence to my life and needs right now. Thank you all. So grateful to have found you.
