Yes, I’m certainly in over my head with somebody as well studied and smart as you.
Jesus said, “To day shalt thou be with me in Paradise.”
No comma necessary.
Just what it so very plainly says.
Jesus spoke in Luke 16 about the rich man who awoke in the Hell after he died, tormented by the flame, while the beggar Lazarus was carried off by the anjels to enjoy the comfort of Abraham’s bosom.
And there are the souls “under the altar” to whom God is speaking in Revelation.
You and I see these things very differently. We are looking at the same words, but they evoke different meanings because of our different perspectives.
I don’t expect to be able to change your mind, and you won’t be able to change mine.
But you still have not answered the question I’ve been posing to you.
Is Jesus God incarnate?
Please, just a simple yes or no.
Actually what Jesus is recorded as saying in a word for word translation from greek is, “And he said to him Amen to you I am saying today with me you will be in the paradise”.
Where the comma is placed depends upon what the translator thinks Jesus was saying, ‘today I am saying this’, or ‘I am saying what will happen today’. Two different things. Considering the other Scriptures I refered to it would seem the former is correct. Word order in koine greek is far less important than in English.
