The Bible does not say Friday to Sunday. It says the day before the Passover which was the Thursday before (John 13:1). That was the day of preparation when the Passover lambs were killed, and the legs of the criminals were broken because the Jews did not want them hanging on the cross during...

There are place names and and other clues that suggest it. But is there any other explanation?

You are combining two separate verses from two different contexts. The Holy Spirit didn't say that Jesus was in the tomb 3 12 hour days. He just said "three days" which fits from 3pm to dusk on the first day (Thursday) leading to a night, two whole days and a night, which makes three days...

Correct. But the Holy Spirit is saying that it was three days and three nights, which puts Jesus' death at 3pm on the Thursday, not the Friday.

This causes a problem for those who believe that the week that Jesus went to the cross was a normal Sabbath week, and it was assumed that the legs of the criminals were broken on the Friday so they weren't hanging on the cross on the Saturday. But the Holy Spirit said through the gospel writers...

What he is trying to say is that God told Adam and Eve that if they ate the fruit they would die spiritually and not physically, because he believes that death was present before Adam came on the scene, and that only spiritual death resulted from Adam's disobedience. All he is doing is to try...

That's right. Adam surely died 900 years later. The Scripture does not say: "for in the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die the very day you eat it", which is how you are reading the Scripture. If God meant that, He would have said it that way, but He didn't.

Nothing you have said convinces me to move off my foundation that the literal text of the Bible is God's Word to mankind. So if God told Adam that if he ate the fruit he would die, He meant that Adam would become a mortal man, live out his life and then die, which Adam did, 900 years later...

Wacky religious teaching usually results in cobbling random verses out of their normal context.

God did not say that Adam would die that day. God said just that he would die. You need to be accurate when you refer to Scripture. Adam died 900 years later, proving God's words true for him. It is a concern that you would add to what God says in order to support your dogmatic evolutionary...

So, Paul was not inspired by the Holy Spirit when he said that death came into the world through the disobedience of Adam, and linked the resurrection of Christ and our future resurrection with the same death. Paul says that the way that Christ was resurrected from the dead, we will be...

So you are saying that Paul was not inspired by the Holy Spirit when he wrote that we are justified by faith alone in Christ apart from works, but James was when he wrote that without works faith is dead? Or if the Holy Spirit inspired both Paul and James, seeing that both their letters are...

Not just spiritual death, because God did not reveal the concept of spiritual death when He inspired Moses to write Genesis. All that God told him was that death entered the world with Adam's disobedience, and Moses would have seen that as physical death. It was not until Jesus, through the...

The Scripture also says that the Temple curtain was ripped from top to bottom signifying that the Old Jewish Covenant was at an end, and the observance of the Saturday Sabbath being a Jewish requirement was abolished along with all the other ceremonial and ritualistic observances. I am a...

Part 2 to answer Justadude's post: It has everything to do with the Bible, because as science makes new discoveries about how the world works, and archaeologists discover more ruins and ancient writings they discover that the people, places, and the science of the Bible are accurate and true...

Thanks for your lengthy and stimulating answer. You have given me plenty to chew on here, and I appreciate your friendly and respectful manner in your answers. This is so sadly true. Too many professing Christians shoot themselves in the foot because they do not demonstrate the faith they...

So all you are going to do is quote the Bible to him? What if he is an atheist and doesn't believe the Bible? What are you going to do then?

If the two are merged, you do have the same gospel. Peter said that there are people who "wrest" Paul's teaching "to their own destruction", showing that Peter was in total unity with the gospel that Paul preached; also, if Paul was preaching a totally different gospel, then the Apostles in...

My view is based on what the Bible actually says in Romans and 2 Corinthians - that death came through Adam where it did not exist before. It was the direct result of Adam's disobedience to God and brought a curse into the world and death along with it. If death was not in the world before...

What James is talking about is that if a person says that they have faith (in other words, professes Christianity), he needs to justify his faith through what he does. This is not justification by faith, but a demonstration that he has faith in Christ. Therefore if a person who says he's a...
