I care less how they came about. As long as people are not worshipping the original pagan gods- it is a harmless activity. As Paul wrote in Corinthians, if people have a conscience towards the false gods, they should refrain, otherwise believers have liberty for their are no real false gods...

They do apply. I addressed your time line and what was written in the gospel about how long Jesus said He would spend in the grave.

If you are talking about salvation? NO! If you are talking about godly living? Yes one can fall away for a time (backsliding) It depends on what you are specifically referring to. A Generic falling away is unanswerable

True, but buddha is revered as a god while an easter egg or chocolate bunny or christmastree or wrapped presents were never gods. It is a difference I have a Quran and a book of mormon in my house. Not to revere or gorw from them, but to learn how these deceived souls have been deceived to...

show proof. In other passages He said three days, and on the third day- which all mean the same as three days and nights- Friday-Sunday as itis clearly shown in Scriptures. Once again all three ways it is written all mean the same three days- Friday -through Sunday. If you wish to do the work...

Never eternal security is true in all dispensations. salvation is always by grace through faith. And from the divine view always based on the death and resurrection of Jesus, even inf the object of faith before Jesus was different.

Even though everyone thought Ukraine would be done in weeks at the start , with western help have they not only held ground but have been pushing back the Russian in key areas. They are fighting an amazing tactical war. They have destroyed many of the lanes of travel for Russia to rearm their...

I am a literalist who accepts symbology. I also keep things in theri proper grammar and historical setting for their writing. I am a pre-mil, pre-trib rapurist who believes the seals, trumpets and bowls are yet to come. The 70th week of Daniel begins when the antichrist signs a 7 year...

So be it. doidn't you ever watch the Cadbury Commercial? :jest:

We may not, but they did it was how they spoke in everyday language. Jesus was not conversing in some other culture outside of normal day to day Jewish culture. Not according to the Scriptures. Unleave3ned bread- the seven days always went from a sabbath (saturday to saturday) to a sabbath...

One who believes. Second time I have answered. Belief is "pistus" which means sure confidence, trust Don't know what else I can give you.

Symbols have no power. The only power they have is what an individual gives them. The priniciples of Romans 14 do apply. Same with 1 Cor. 10:25. Meat sold in the shambles had been animals sacrificed to false gods. If on Resurrection sunday one celebrates asheroth or if they celebrate...

Well to Gentiles 2000 years removed it may not be plain, but when we think and respond according to the text we learn and know! John 19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high...

Then for you , that is what you celebrate! But for many others they wish to honor and remember the day someone was born by celebrating its annual anniversary! That is fine as well! Romans 14.

No He wasn't you are just being to nit picky about the use of the word believer . It seems you think believer means Christian when it doesn't in certain periods of time. It does mean believers in the one true God with the knowledge god had revealed to date. Jesus definition? ONe who...

It doesn't matter. Jesus was speaking in the language of the day with the understanding of colloquialisms of the day! Just like if we say its raining cats and dogs out. We of today know what is meant, but someone 1500 years from now, unless they learned of our colloquial way of speaking would...

Yes the bible teaches Jesus rose on sunday- the first day of the week! Matthew 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. Mark 16:2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week...

Why not?

Once again, in teh times Jesus lived and even today in Jewish culture, Jews would count any part of a day as a whole day in conversation. So while Jesus did not spend 72 hours in the grave (before sundown friday to after sundown and before dawn sunday) Jews would have said three days! So on...

Sorry Tony but the first Christians were those in the upper room atr Pentecost. They believed in the Messiahship of Jesus and became Christians afdter Pentecost. but believer is generic and who and what they believed in depended on the time they lived in in order to be saved. Noah did not...
