Hello All . Concerning the thief on the cross next to Jesus . Please read Proverbs Ch 6 V 30 . Also , we don't even know if this person was a Jew or not so we don't know if the Mosaic Law applied to them . Even if he was a Jew I challenge any one to find in the Law where it says a thief is to be put to death . Do any of you believe that stealing is a capitol offence ? As a Christian we shouldn't ever accuse any one of stealing . If some one takes our things from us we must tell them that we give them freely . My friend who is not a Christian was mugged , there wasn't any violence used but the mugger said he would use violence if their wallet wasn't handed over . My friend the atheist gave them their wallet and said to the mugger " all you had to do was ask and I would have just given you it " . This thief not only confesses his own offence but recognises Jesus's innocence . A very perceptive person . I'm sure we have all read Ezekiel Ch 33 . Christ is the fulfillment of the law , he is the Lord of Grace and Love and Forgiveness . If he forgives the thief who are we to argue ?
