Took Thief Home The Forum
A.D. 34 — There are nailed to
three crosses to die by crucific-
tion — Jesus and two thieves.
First thief—“If you are the Christ
save yourself and us.” The second
fellow answers the fellow with—
“Do you not fear God?" And he
adds that they both deserve to
die but not so with Christ who had
done no sin. Then, to Christ—
“Remember me when you come
into your kingdom.” And Christ
answers the man — THIS DAY
YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN
PARADISE.—Luke 23:39-49.
NOT FIT—But the thief was
not fit for paradise. Like us, by
natural birth he had a human
heart that was deceitful above all
things and desperately wicked.
None of us by nature, are fit for
paradise. Like us, the thief had
to be cleared of his sins before he
could go into glory. Acting for
us and all mankind, Christ poured
out His soul unto death. He took
on the pains of hell that day down
with the lost. He suffered to the
full for all of us. God saw it and
was satisfied — Isaoah 53:11-12.
LOST MEN WANTED
THE CREATION SABBATH
In the Forum Column of the
Eagle — December 30 issue — we
have the Creation Sabbath, the
Memorial of God’s Creation, the
fourth commandent of the Moral
Law, nailed to the cross. It would
be altogether inconsistent to tare
out the heart of the law and nail
it to the cross without nailing
down the other nine.
The ten commandents cannot be
legally seperated, we quote: “For
whosoever shall keep the whole
law, and yet offend in one point,
he is guilty of all. For He that
—I CAME NOT TO CALL THE
RIGHTEOUS BUT SINNERS TO
REPENTANCE—Jesus word Mt.
9:13. Name Christ as your own
Saviour who died for your every
last sin and God gives you eternal
life — with new days for here and
now.

said, do not commit adultry, said
also, do not kill. Now if thou
commit no adultry, yet if thou kill,
thou art become a transgressor of
the law.” James 2:10,11.
Now let us see what was nailed
to the cross: In Colossians 2:14.
we read these words: “Blotting out
the handwriting of ordinances that
was against us, which was con
trary to us, and took it out of the
way, nailing it to His cross.”
This “Handwriting of ordi
nances” spoken of here, our cor
respondent would have us believe
is God’s Ten Commandment Law,
for he believes the fourth com
mandent is against him, and con
trary to him. How about the
sixth, the seventh and the eighth
of this same law my brother, are
they contrary to yon also?
would regret to think so.
