Absolutely. They were different events: one was buying the spices, one was preparing the spices. Mark 16:1 says the women bought spices after the Sabbath to annoint him. Luke 23:56 says they prepared the spices before the Sabbath and RESTED the Sabbath. It does not say they did any servile...

You listed the verses. It says they purchased the spices after the Sabbath in one account, but another account says they prepared them before the Sabbath.

Nope.

No, on both accounts.

Well, you are sort of right. They went to anoint him before the Sabbath ended. They were on their way around 5:50 PM on Saturday. Yet, they bought the spices after the Sabbath.

I've debunked that in this thread already, though it was years ago. 3 days is an idiom. 3 days and 3 nights is not. Esther proves it is not. When Esther gave directions, it was for a fast. Fasts are very precise to the point that often they fast an hour longer to make sure they have...

That's pretty much a rejection of predestination while trying to show support of it. Sorry, but I am not buying it. I have too much evidence that God pulled strings to make things happen.

I have said this many times, and will share my thoughts again: Predestination is real and is supported by the Bible in multiple incidents. I am not talking about a "people" (the gentiles) being predestined, I am talking about individuals. John 10:3, for example, says His sheep hear his voice...

My mechanic at my bike shop warns against using WD40 also. He prefers warm soapy water. I suppose using it on your chain isn't the worst thing as long as you completely wipe it away, but you'll definitely want to keep it away from your derailers, hub and crankset. Overall I prefer not to use it.

I'd have to look into it, but that may a story that became legendary! According to the accounts, a pro beat a local in a few segments down in Australia. It started a big Twitter war or something. The fella that got beat was seriously upset! I've only read a little about it. I don't know...

Yea, that's the way to do it. Wish I could, but I commute to two jobs. That's a total of 16 rides a week. Doesn't leave a lot of time for such maitenence, though I'd love to fuss over my bike that much.bottom line is I push the chain to the limits and just ask for a new cassette every time I...

It uses GPS so it keeps records of your rides in many ways. I could still access my first Strava ride if I wanted to.... About 4 years ago. It keeps tabs on my milage, elevation gain, speed, calories burned... It estimated my watts and everything else you could imagine. They allowed you to...

If any you are on Strava, feel free to PM me and get my info to follow me, and I will follow you as well.

Sounds like the friendship is off to a good start! I've only got 5 races under my belt (3 duathlons, TT and a criterium). I have much to learn about strategy. I can watch the pros all I want and that's ok, but experiencing it is better! For example, never knew how well drafting works until I...

I'm training for a Sprint triathlon in July, so I've started swimming (started back in August after not doing any swimming since 1990!). Running is probably the greatest thing that helps... I heard Lance Armstrong endorse that notion as well. Thinking of focusing less on running and more on...

Well, that's a pretty cold thought on my marriage! LOL! She may soon get into riding... I'm working on it. But what she doesn't understand is bike parts aren't car parts. Tires are only good for maybe 2500 to 3000 miles. Chains, cassettes and brake pads about the same. Cables a bit longer...

So since I have a few cyclists here... Here's some humor they may enjoy, especially if they are married. I commute, so I actually sold my car. I still have one, but let my wife use it. Even though my car was paid off, I saved $30 a week in gas, $20 a month in insurance, and lots in repair...

Love these last two points! I am 152 lbs on average and trying to get to 150. I have a Trek 1.1 which (if I remember correctly) weighed 24.5 lbs. To lighten it up would be expensive.

To all, Hebrews 10:25 says not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together. The next 3 verses give a very harsh warning for doing so. They state if we sin wilfully (and it's speaking of forsaking the assembly) there remains no more sacrifice for sin. This leads me to believe it's not...

Would you care to expound on that and how applies to what I said?
