Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.48,0:00:18.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is somebody asks you this question.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.60,0:00:20.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How would you answer?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.11,0:00:22.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Where would you go in Scripture?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:22.55,0:00:29.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What would your counsel be
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.81,0:00:34.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to an individual that asked you this?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.58,0:00:37.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Please clarify this for me.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.77,0:00:41.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Regarding the thief on the cross,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.99,0:00:47.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how do you compare \Nhis salvation with ours?"
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.48,0:00:52.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So he's obviously thinking
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.62,0:00:55.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that there's something different
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.08,0:01:01.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about his salvation and ours.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.01,0:01:03.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"How do you compare them?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.19,0:01:09.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, he did not live \Na good life at all.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.04,0:01:11.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He did not show any fruit of repentance.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.19,0:01:19.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How was Jesus able to save him
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.70,0:01:21.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when we are clearly instructed
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.84,0:01:24.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to live right and to turn from sin?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.65,0:01:25.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As I understand it,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.98,0:01:27.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he was the only one in Scripture
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.55,0:01:30.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who had this deathbed salvation.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.41,0:01:34.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we can't rely on that,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.81,0:01:37.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but you know what I mean.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.15,0:01:40.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thank you very much. \NSincerely, Sam Rodman."
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.43,0:01:42.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now I know this is probably an easy one.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.90,0:01:44.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But here's the thing,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.92,0:01:46.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you want to answer people biblically.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.74,0:01:51.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You want to answer them clearly.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.82,0:02:01.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if you're answering.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.19,0:02:04.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So how do you answer?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.61,0:02:06.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe the first thing we need to do
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.98,0:02:09.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is open up our Bibles to Luke 23
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.92,0:02:17.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the passage where \Nthe thief on the cross -
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.02,0:02:21.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's the only account in the Gospels
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.15,0:02:24.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of this thief being saved.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.22,0:02:27.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We see him show up in the others,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.48,0:02:32.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but this is the only one \Nthat we're actually told.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.74,0:02:34.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think that's interesting.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.15,0:02:36.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Do you guys find that interesting?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.63,0:02:41.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That the other authors could refer to him
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.32,0:02:44.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but not mention that he got saved?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.87,0:02:47.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Doesn't that make you wonder
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.11,0:02:51.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what all manner of things \Nwe're not told about?
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.69,0:02:56.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Anyway...
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.56,0:02:58.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Luke 23.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.67,0:03:02.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Do you guys all have it?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.77,0:03:12.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, I'll start reading in verse 39.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.16,0:03:16.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"One of the criminals who were hanged
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.92,0:03:20.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,railed at Him..."
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.13,0:03:21.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Railed at Christ.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.65,0:03:24.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"...Saying, 'Are You not the Christ?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.34,0:03:27.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Save Yourself and us!'
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.54,0:03:30.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the other rebuked him, saying,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.49,0:03:31.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,'Do you not fear God
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.83,0:03:33.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,since you are under the same sentence
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.70,0:03:36.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of condemnation?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.33,0:03:37.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we indeed justly,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.76,0:03:40.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for we're receiving the \Nreward of our deeds.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.48,0:03:43.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But this Man has done nothing wrong.'
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.80,0:03:46.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he said, 'Jesus, remember me
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.35,0:03:48.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when You come into Your kingdom.'
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.31,0:03:50.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And He said to him, "Truly, I say to you,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.32,0:03:54.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,today, you will be with Me in paradise.'"
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.78,0:03:56.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So hear his question again:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.38,0:03:57.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Please clarify this for me.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.75,0:03:59.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Regarding the thief on the cross,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.38,0:04:02.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how do you compare \Nhis salvation with ours?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.13,0:04:04.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, he did not live \Na good life at all.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.66,0:04:06.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He did not show any fruit of repentance.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.67,0:04:08.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He did not live right.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.06,0:04:10.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yet, Jesus saved him anyway."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.58,0:04:15.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think that's one of \Nthe telling statements.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.73,0:04:18.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"He did not live right...
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.24,0:04:22.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,yet Jesus saved him anyway."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.78,0:04:24.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Basically what that communicates
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.87,0:04:30.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the fact that he's having difficulty
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.36,0:04:35.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,figuring out what salvation looks like.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.43,0:04:38.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, I think he has a difficulty
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.86,0:04:43.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,discerning between what saves
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.40,0:04:46.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,versus what proves that we're saved.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.95,0:04:49.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is a proof of \Nsalvation in Scripture.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.30,0:04:53.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's various characteristics
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.18,0:04:55.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of genuine Christianity that come up
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.20,0:04:57.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all over the Scriptures.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.58,0:05:00.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And yet, that's not the same thing.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.28,0:05:03.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The proofs of what it means to be saved
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.02,0:05:06.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are not the same thing as being saved.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.02,0:05:09.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And he perhaps is not clear on that.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.60,0:05:12.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"How was Jesus able to save him
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.94,0:05:15.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when we are clearly \Ninstructed to live right
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.61,0:05:17.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to turn from sin?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.87,0:05:20.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As I understand it, he was \Nthe only one in Scripture
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.35,0:05:21.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who had this deathbed salvation,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.88,0:05:23.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we can't rely on that.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.57,0:05:25.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But you know what I mean."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.05,0:05:27.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, actually I don't know what he means.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.27,0:05:29.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, I understand what he's saying,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.72,0:05:34.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I think he's implying there
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.93,0:05:37.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you know what I mean \Nand would agree with me
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.77,0:05:39.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we can't rely on that.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.31,0:05:42.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I would not go down that path.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:42.26,0:05:44.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We certainly can rely -
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.98,0:05:50.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,any example in Scripture \Nwhere somebody is converted,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.37,0:05:54.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,obviously we can rely on that.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.78,0:05:56.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what do you say?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:56.21,0:05:57.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(from the room)
Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.10,0:06:02.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So he said that he hadn't repented?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:02.79,0:06:06.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But here it sounds like he was repenting?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.29,0:06:08.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Maybe I'm misunderstanding \Nwhat he's saying.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.53,0:06:12.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,No, you were understanding exactly right.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.11,0:06:16.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You're saying that he has mentioned here
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.64,0:06:20.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that there's no evidence \Nthat this thief repented.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.65,0:06:25.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But he doesn't really \Nquote the account at all.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.67,0:06:28.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He doesn't make any \Nreference to the account
Dialogue: 0,0:06:28.10,0:06:30.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,other than the fact that it happened.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.87,0:06:32.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yes, you're exactly right.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:32.88,0:06:38.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let's just look at the text.

Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.81,0:06:51.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I don't think that \Nthat's the biggest issue.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:51.06,0:06:55.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The biggest issue is this:
Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.40,0:06:58.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he says, "he did not live right,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:58.86,0:07:01.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,yet Jesus saved him anyway."

Dialogue: 0,0:07:08.60,0:07:12.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the greatest texts in my opinion

Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.44,0:07:20.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is found in Romans 4:5.

Dialogue: 0,0:07:21.58,0:07:29.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it just so brings \Nto light the reality.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:29.32,0:07:31.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And it really says that the statement
Dialogue: 0,0:07:31.40,0:07:34.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that he makes here is diametrically
Dialogue: 0,0:07:34.95,0:07:37.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,wrong and opposed to \Nwhat the Gospel teaches.
