ERROR, did you not read? listen to what you said, "for when it says "today" as a day prophesied and that is yet to come in the future, it still refers to a day in created time," NOT always, NO, and I say NO again, and here,'s why, scripture, Luke 23:39 "And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us." Luke 23:40 "But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?" Luke 23:41 "And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss." Luke 23:42 "And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom." Luke 23:43 "And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise."
question TIME: "did the theft go to paradise that ... "DAY", when spoken "To DAY?" no, of cource not, for the Lord Jesus himself didn't go to paradise that DAY.. "To day" because he went to the spirits in prison, and preached to them that was once disobedient, and that was for three "days" in this creation, hello,(see 1 Peter 3:19). so when spoken, he said, "To day shalt " and the term SHALT is the second person singular of shall. shall is FUTURE, but is it in this created time? NO, for when the rich man was in Hell he could not pass into paradise, where Abraham and lazarus, (or the GENTILES) was. for the name lazarus is synonyms with GENTIL ENTRANCE into the KINGDOM, it is the Greek word,
G2976 Λάζαρος Lazaros (la'-za-ros) n/p.
Lazarus (i.e. Elazar), the name of two Israelites (one imaginary).
[probably of Hebrew origin (H499)]
KJV: Lazarus
Root(s): H499
see the Name, Lazarus (i.e. Elazar), Elazar was a "GENTILE" of Abraham household. supportive scripture, Genesis 15:1 "After these things the word of the LORD came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward." Genesis 15:2 "And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?" Genesis 15:3 "And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir." and the GENTILE we know is of Abraham of Fath, which he Abraham is the father of those in FAITH to God.
so, Eliezer of Damascus was the ONLY heir of Abram INHERITANCE .... a Gentile BORN in his HOUSE. stood to INHERIT all. but we know now the INHERITANCE is in God, as well as all people.
so just as the Hebrews, and Believing Jews and the Gentiles was "THAT" .... "DAY" in Pardise, the unbelieving Jews was in danger of not being in pardise that ..... "DAY", which is yet to come in the NEW CREATION, and not in this OLD CREATION.
so the term "today", do not nesseary means in this CREATION... to day. so your ERROR is CORRECTED.
