These people (such as the thief) acting in simple faith and as a result incredible things happen. This criminal's conversion was spontaneous, simple and innocent. It is when we add ourselves into the equation of Gospel, we lose the simplicity of its beauty.<BR/>I too get frustrated by the burden religion often puts on us. My response used to be anger. But now a days I just run as fast as I can. :)Bino M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02303467552834533436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1529625177060889765.post-25600527192509002142008-05-20T14:38:00.000-04:002008-05-20T14:38:00.000-04:00I realize I can appear condescending to some but i...I realize I can appear condescending to some but it's really my hatred of being under the burden of a performance-based mentality.Mattityahuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549061279827942555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1529625177060889765.post-27381157725902572572008-05-20T14:37:00.000-04:002008-05-20T14:37:00.000-04:00You mean he didn't turn 180 degrees and dedicate h...You mean he didn't turn 180 degrees and dedicate himself!?Mattityahuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549061279827942555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1529625177060889765.post-66158422025622365442008-05-19T11:44:00.000-04:002008-05-19T11:44:00.000-04:00Are you sure they didn't let him down off of the c...Are you sure they didn't let him down off of the cross for at least a few hours so he could go perform his religious duties and go to church, confess his sins, get baptized, give to the poor and so on? :)<BR/><BR/>Great one, Bino!Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1529625177060889765.post-26439475713370994752008-05-19T08:30:00.000-04:002008-05-19T08:30:00.000-04:00Joel and Matthew,Thank you for participating!Jesus...Joel and Matthew,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for participating!<BR/><BR/>Jesus answered him [thief on the cross], "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." - Luke 23:43<BR/><BR/>This is an incredible story of person (a criminal!!!) who was assured into the salvation Jesus offered. One of the reason I love this story is because there are no 'loop holes' in this. There wasn't absolutely any form of 'work' involved. <BR/><BR/>Second part, of cource "Faith in Jesus".Bino M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02303467552834533436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1529625177060889765.post-84212781716635547472008-05-16T23:29:00.000-04:002008-05-16T23:29:00.000-04:00My first thought was "Peter" then, of course, fait...My first thought was "Peter" then, of course, faith in Jesus.Mattityahuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549061279827942555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1529625177060889765.post-68614551154123081022008-05-16T22:31:00.000-04:002008-05-16T22:31:00.000-04:00I'll take a guess on the first one.
