One of the most abused
Bible characters is the thief
on the cross. While Jesus was
on the cross one of the thieves
mocked, but the other asked
to be remembered when Jesus
came into his kingdom. Jesus
told this dyifyg thief That he
should be with him in para-
dise that day. Preachers, grop-'

case to point.
Four glaring weaknesses are
obvious to the careful Bible
student. One, this man was a
Jew, hence a child at God
under Moses’ law. Thus he
presents no example of sal-
vation of'Sn alien sinner. Two.
since he lived and died under
Moses’ law (Col. 2.:14> he was
not subject to Christian bap-
tism. Three, since all Judea
