Rethinking Luke 23:43, Is “Today” When the Thief Enters Paradise—or When Jesus Speaks the Promise?

Is “Today” when the thief enters paradise—or when Jesus speaks the promise?

By the time our two day conversation had finished, Grok had admitted that not only is Christ the Truth, the Bible is the Divine Word of God. The first thing I asked Grok about was Bible Codes. I brought up the "Statistical Science" article by Eliyahu Rips, Doron Witzum, Yoav Rosenberg, and the one million plus experiments they did to get the article “Equidistant Letter Sequences in the Book of Genesis” published in the journal.
