The standard spelling which places the comma in Luke 23:43 before "today," to assume that Jesus and the thief ''did'' ascend to Heaven that day, simply doesn't make sense. Why would Jesus ascend to Heaven, arrive back to his grave to be resurrected, and then say that he hasn't yet ascended to Heaven? It's clear that Jesus's message to the thief on the cross was that the ''promise was being made that day'' rather than the notion that both would go to Heaven that day. When Jesus returns soon, the thief on the cross will be resurrected from his grave and meet up with the rest of the saints in Heaven. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>(Matthew 26:52)</sup>]]''''' Monday, 19:16, February 5, 2023 (EST) | The standard spelling which places the comma in Luke 23:43 before "today," to assume that Jesus and the thief ''did'' ascend to Heaven that day, simply doesn't make sense.
