Sounds like a "no I haven't " to me. Especially since in post #11 you admitted you didn't know what this is about. Honestly... I believe you. Without a doubt, I believe you. What this is about is the Christian world believing that 3d/3n ist some kind of Hebrew or Jewish idiom. Its not. I...

Don't really have a definition of "ethics" because it seems to depend on time and regions. I think it does apply to God... He is kind of involved in the incident, isn't he?

Isaac had no problems offering up Isaac because God told him that the family line would continue through Isaac. That was God's promise. Therefore, Abraham believed that God would raise Isaac from the dead after offering him. Hebrews 11:17-19. How ethical is that? Its a powerful test of...

You haven't read the link, have you?

When scripture ageees with a Jewish Rabbi who explains how Jewish idioms work then its pretty easy to see the truth which is that Jesus died on a Wednesday.

Ok fine... I suppose I can agree. I don't agree with the age of 12. I am also questioning (not disagreeing) whether infants are covered. My only point was that it is possible to cover your children.

Great point!

I would like to offer up this verse and thoughts about it. I will try not to ramble on like last time.tim: Job 1:5 KJV And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to...

I have seen definitions that also say "to immerse" or "to be immersed" immediately people think of water. But you can be immersed in other things. You can be immersed in your studies, for example. So the Bible speaks on occasion of being baptized into Christ (Acts 2 and Romans 6, for...

Thanks, my friend!

The character of God and of Christ... Well I have questions about that. In a nutshell nutshell, many just quote that God is love. Yet, he is also called a man of war. He is the God of peace, yet also vengeance is his. I hope you see where I am going with this. We tend to look at the...

I support Trump. I don't akways appreciate his obnoxiousness (esp. During the election). I don't really think he's going to get the wall built and doubt even if he does that it will be effective. The trade war has me nervous, but if someone is going to do it, who better? Now this thing with...

Peter's sermon on the day of Pentacost is one of my favorites. So much power! This coning from a man who was uneducated, unlearned and is thought to be illiterate. I don't believe any of that. He just spent 3 years attending the greatest seminary the world has ever known! Regardless... It...

Yes, God is not the author of confusion. Now he is of calamnity, evil, confoundedness, division and blindness in other parts of the Bible. But shall we let that go for now? But he is the author of peace in this verse. As in all the Churches of the saints. So which of us aren't saints...

I would say that a Rabbi claiming it isn't an idiom and actually explaining how idioms work does disprove it though. I would also say that the undeniable fact that fasts were exact and that the 2 or 3 scriptural references from the OT that are used to support the notion are about fasting (and...

Taking a verse in Corinthians and pairing it with a verse with a verse from LevLeviticusDo you feel this proves that 3 days and 3 nights is an idiom? Are those two verses stronger evidence than a Rabbi explaining what an idiom is and isn't ?

Wouldn't be the first time Jesus broke the Sabbath: Matthew 12:2-8 KJV But when the Pharisees saw it , they said unto him, Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath day. [3] But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they...

I have vowed not to attack people or even denominations. But doctrines I disagree on. There are plenty of Protestant and Catholic doctrines that I disagree with. I do my best not to make it personal. I fail at times. I love to focus on truth, but Jesus also spoke of forgiveness. Thus, any...

Rather hard to deal with on a cell phone! But if I have time I will look at it when I can print it out.

2nd Point and most damaging. I am going to refer to an actual Rabbi. Rabbi David Markel Hall: "It is claimed that the reference in Matthew 12:40 is an idiom in attempt to explain away the three days and nights. However, phrases which include the words "and night(s)" are not considered to be...
