paradise rightly divided Why did Jesus say " paradise" instead of heaven, or more to the point; KINGDOM , which is what the theif had said: "Remember me when thou comest into thy KINGDOM" ? Now i believe that Jesus, not even on the cross, spoke a word errantly or meaninglessly. The word "Paradise", dispite it's many false defintion from the RCC and others, meant in Jesus day both literaly a "garden", like Eden, but was used in the culture of that time as a metaphor for heaven proper. What the word does NOT convey is any suggestion of KINGDOM proper. The concept of spiritual maturity is tied to regeneration (literal human spirit rebirth, John 3: 5-6) and renewing of the mind which is soul sanctification. Rom 12: 2 That regeneration is instant and complete is a given, but learning to walk in the Spirit via that new human spirit is a PROCESS of learning and sanctifying work of the HS (Titus 3:5, Rom 8: 14-16) means that while the thief on the cross could have been regenerated right there , he still would not have had time to grow up in those few hours to spiritual maturity (soul sanctification / abiding in the vine) making him fit thereby to enter into participation in the KINGDOM (manifested soverignty) of God. Thus, while saved as completely as you or I, and standing beside us all in Heaven (a word which does carry the idea of KINGDOM of God in Heaven) he would remain spiritualy and soulicaly a "babe" and could not be used to weld God's power and authority of his KINGDOM. Thus Jesus properly used "paradise" because it suggested the mans salvation but did not imply he could be used in the more weighty issue of the Kingdom of God manifested in the mellenial kingdom or in heaven. To say other wise would have been to speak falsly on Jesus part.
