September 6 — No Forgiveness for Thief on the Cross. Miracle of Forgiveness, p. 164 “Another mistaken idea is that the thief on the cross was forgiven of his sins when the dying Christ answered: “Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:43.) These men on the cross were thieves. How could the Lord forgive a malefactor? They had broken laws. There was no doubt of the guilt of the two men, for the one voluntarily confessed their guilt. The Lord cannot save men in their sins but only from their sins, and that only when they have shown true repentance.”

Luke 23:39-43 “And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.”

The Mormon Jesus is impotent. If he can’t save you while you’re still a sinner why is he a god?
Why would Jesus tell the thief on the cross that he’d see Him that very day?
Share with the Mormon you know that believing Jesus’ spilt blood is the only means of receiving forgiveness. Romans 5:8-9
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.”

“The Miracle of Forgiveness” is an excellent book to show how Mormons can never really feel forgiven, can’t even know forgiveness. It’s a horrible doctrine to say Jesus couldn’t save the thief on the cross. I wrote an article examining this book:
