Yes, this all seems feasible to me. After all, they were up there for hours so, I can see the "good thief" having a change of heart during this time, and witnessing the words Jesus said with such compassion towards His killers... Ty!

Glad you found it, the "alert" system on here is sorely lacking... "One must have had a heart that was softer toward God...and the other one had hardened his heart." <---- I think you are right! xo

Wonderful reply @FollowHim , ty. " On the cross for 8 hours with nothing else to do, makes one think a little. So when we talk about a quick conversion this is not putting the whole story." Guess we can toss the "quick conversion" in the trash, ha! Many good points and, "what if" indeed!

Hahaha, thanks DNB... Just figured I should update my photo as I am older now :D I don't think many are in much of a humorous mood on here lately, well understood. So, as not to be insensitive to anyone, I decided to exchange it for a pic of one of last years hibiscus bush's :)

:D

Well Farouk, I don't see your tatt discussions as being "heated" at all, they are tame enough, lol. I personally just do not have any interest in this subject. Just like if a thread came up about the measurements of the Temple...I'd skip right over it. Pretty much every one I know, and that...

"Why would men who had experienced the redemptive grace of God not want to share that joy with others? Why would they not want to offer words of guidance or correction for the church?" Had they really repented? Embarrassment?

Can't tell me Jesus didn't have favorites, ha! I even hear parents say to me that they agree they also have a fave or are closer to, one child over another. I have 3 dogs..I love them all and take care of them just the same bit yet, there is that one.... :)

They seem interchangeable to me...a thief IS a robber yes? lol

Yes, he sure did...I see John as Jesus's best friend, ha...after all, John was the "one that Jesus loved". He was loyal to the bitter end.

Amen. We Christians seem to take Him for granted all the time :oops: ... NOT speaking of all Christians but, some, some of the time do take His blessings for granted. And yes, "To him goes the glory" Amen!

Thank you Marks, I suppose it would cause one to face their morality when about to get crucified! :eek:

Thank you Enoch, Seems pretty plausible to me!

Thank you Stranger, Yes, they all did forsake Him. Funny how the Holy Spirit made them so bold afterwards. They were running like scared little girls, then their boldly preaching the Gospel! God Bless!

Neither have I Pearl, it was mentioned during Sunday services (online) and, I never remembered that part! We're doing a series on the attributes of God and I'm really loving it. Wanted to ask him about it but...too big a Church :( so, thought I would ask on here what you all thought? It just...

Thank you for the replies! It still seems an awfully quick conversion; from calling Christ names and mocking Him to suddenly calling Him King, and seemingly realizing Jesus was the messiah. But then, nothing is impossible for God :)

I am also praying for you MyDreams. May God touch you with His healing hand, bring you back strength and good health.

While reading the accounts of the thief on the cross in the Gospels, it seems that the thief came upon his repentance in the short time on the cross, but what changed his mind, between the time he was reviling Jesus and when he "repented"? In two accounts: “Even the robbers who were crucified...

...at the household of God...?

:D
