Re: Thief on the Cross: A New Covenant Believer?

So it was ratified at his death but not put into place until he ascended and sat next to the Father. I could be wrong but part of the element of the covenant was his eternal priesthood
So this would be at his exaltation ...correct ... after his ascension? How would you term it?

Do you have scripture to substantiate the eternal Priesthood aspect of your argument?

This would differ from saying it was in effect immediately after his resurrection ... I believe ... and prior to Pentecost.

Thoughts on the thief?
