So we move on…… King Herod dies in March or April of 4 BC. His historical successors and other events anchor this date. What this means is that Christ had to be born before this for the story of the slaughter of innocents and the Magi to happen. Maybe a year or two before 4 BC This also mean...

I did not ask if it was always the plan....let me cut and paste it.... So are you saying that this could not have happened a little before or a little after Exodus? In other words Christ born and his ministry around Exodus? I am asking why you think He waited so long? Not that there is a...

So are you saying that this could not have happened a little before or a little after Exodus? What do you think?

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to...

Are you an authorized spokesman for the Holy Spirit?.....I don't think so because I talked to the Holy Spirit this morning and he said all Christian holidays are holy days for God and Christians and families and anybody that speaks against them is going to hell.....don't forget the barbeque...

The brain works on terms….words….images….and experiences. So we have 2 words here that people need to understand. And words have definitions but those definitions can be modified by how they are used in different time periods. Gentile The Greek word most often translated to gentile is ἔθνος...

You keep forgetting something, nowhere in the scriptures is there a requirement for a wedding ceremony to be married and wedding ceremonies are strictly a Pagan custom. Even modern Christian weddings have Pagan aspects to them. Nowhere in the scriptures does it say to build churches ....churches...

Don't worry Dan it is not that simple, but simpletons run their mouths and prove their ignorance. Very few understand or know the process or history of the naming of the days of the week, the months of the year or the planets in every language worldwide or what it would cause to change them….in...

Hobie a cheerleader for insulting Christianity. Might as well join the Jehovah's Witnesses band of anti- Christianity. Christian holidays are a celebration of Christ and are a blessing.

Christian holidays do have Pagan aspects and that is perfectly fine. Do not allow anyone to insult Christian holidays because in effect they are insulting Christianity. Christian holidays brings families together and give an opportunity to celebrate Christ together and what He did for us while...

Immortal…eternal…forever…never ending…Let us mince words. Is it soul or spirit? What does the soul or spirit look like? Where in the body does the soul reside? What is the soul or spirit made of?

You are chasing a ghost. The word wed or wedding is not in the scriptures. The event in Cana is a marriage ...no indication of a ceremony and the story pickups at the "reception" There is a lot more to the history of it, but that information is in the period history, not the scriptures. As I...

At a reception as we would call it. The Marriage at Cana had a celebration which was not uncommon for the Jews, but was it Jewish? Was there a bridle chamber? But so much the scriptures do not detail.

Because it makes sense to you you say it is in the scriptures? The sky is the limit for imagination. Don't try to pretend to be Bible only because it does not matter to you what the scriptures say, you will just add what you want.

Please note that I said the word wedding is not in the scriptures.....I did not say that the word wedding does not appear in various Bibles. The Hebrew language does not have a word for wed or wedding and the early Christians were not in to ceremonies and rituals because they thought them to be...

Don't put words in my mouth.....I said the word wedding was not in the scriptures. Christ nor the Apostles talked about a requirement for a wedding to be married. And most people call the whole thing about the ten virgins a parable. Christmas and Easter are great Christian holidays. I never...

Pretty simple....Where did Christ get the ten virgin thing as part of a ceremony?
