But it is scripture! We studied this in school but it was so long ago I can't remember it in detail! Got questions can explain it better than I can. What is a high Sabbath? | GotQuestions.org

It is my opinion, not worth much, that Jesus was placed in the tomb just before the "High Sabbath" began at sunset on Wednesday. If He was in the tomb for 3 days, and I believe it was exactly 3 days, then He rose 3 days later, that being a Saturday just before sunset when the new day began for...

The KJV says in Mark 16:2 "And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun." What is the rising of the sun considered to be? Is it when it's still dark but you can see the light of the sun rising in the sky? Or is it when it's...

The new day began for them at sunset and not midnight as we have it today. So if Jesus was crucified on Friday and placed in the tomb just before sunset of that day, that would be less than 2 days. Jesus said, a Jonah was in the belly of the whale 3 days, so will the Son of Man be in the heart...

I suppose if you look at it from the UR standpoint it would be that.

Hell in the Hebrew "Sheol" and "Hades" in the Greek (the same place) is a spiritual grave for the souls of those who have departed without Christ. We know from Luke 16 this is a place of torment. But the bodies of these are in the grave. At the Great White Throne of Judgement, These lost souls...

I too believe everything James wrote was perfect, just a different angle from that of Paul, but agreeing. On the other hand, I find the actions of James at fault concerning the Law. We will just have to disagree!

Seems the Lord knew exactly who to send on that mission, and gave him almost 1/3 of New Testament scripture to explain it. He surly wasn't a weakling like myself. He was a man's man if there has ever has been one!

It's my opinion that James was not all he should have been! The many problems Paul had with the Jews everywhere he went could have been minimized if James had taken the stand of Paul, and declared at the Council of Jerusalem that not only were the Gentiles not subject to the Law but also the...

The spiritual aspect of scripture is escaping you, Base! One must think spiritual when reading the words of Christ, if not, you will miss His message every time.

We are told in scripture that the rich man looked over and saw Lazarus in Abraham's bosom, and there was a great gulf between them where one could not enter back and forth. Theologians say that hades, burning side of hell, and paradise, where the saved were kept and could not enter heaven...

A good example is in Luke 16 where the rich man lifted his eyes in hell, and Lazarus went to Abraham's bosom. Of course, Jesus set free the captives in Paradise and as someone else has already said, "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord", the soul now goes directly to...

As I've said many times, one must understand the difference in the backslider and the blasphemer. The backslider is still saved and subject to the chastisement of God. The blasphemer has walked from Christ, no longer believing, as illustrated in the OP.

You can probably look at the posts on this thread and see you have many to convince, lol. I don't pursue it, said my part and got out. But you have many allies.

Is that what Paul said? Phil. 3:12-13 "Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting...

When Christ takes away your sin at salvation, that doesn't stop future sin of man. Unless you have reached the state of perfection in this life, that Paul said he couldn't claim.

I took this from the accused thread by justbyfaith. "The venue by which we obtain this righteousness is apart from the law; nevertheless this righteousness is attested to by the law and the prophets that it is righteousness indeed (Romans 3:21). You must obtain the Holy Spirit through faith in...

Well, Behold, once again I find fault in your posts! Anyone can read justbyfaith's thread and see that your accusations are false. It may be that you only read the title and assumed. A few weeks back I asked justbyfaith to come to a heathen forum I have been on for some time to teach and...

Well, I see now, Thanks BOL.

No my friend, it's not the same. Your "denying ones own will, is not the same as mine! My self-will is denied in the sense of being led by the Spirit, denying my strength and ability to lead my life in a pleasing way before the Lord. I don't do anything to save myself, or keep myself saved, or...
