Question from a reader: In your book Heaven I read that we will go to paradise at death, partially based on Luke 23:43 "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in Paradise." My pastor says that the original does not have punctuation and a better translation may be "I tell you the truth today, you will be with me in Paradise" (with the comma in a different place). What do you think?
