    Twelve, Eleven, then Ten? (Apostles)

    Reality: "the twelve", continued: John 6:66-67 ASV 66 Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. 67 Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away? The twelve, no more, no less. John 6:68-70 ASV 68 Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go...

    Twelve, Eleven, then Ten? (Apostles)

    Reality: "the twelve" Matthew 10:1-6 ASV 1 And he called unto him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of disease and all manner of sickness. 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called...

    You prefer the KJV, correct? Matthew 4:8-10 KJV 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith...

    Happy Vernal Equinox! (simply the beginning of Spring). Unfortunately pagans and occultists have had their own celebrations of the same day and related time frame for a very long time, not just for centuries, but for thousands of years. Moreover their occult celebrations are also relevant to the...

    Twelve, Eleven, then Ten? (Apostles)

    There is no reason to keep responding to the same arguments. You still have the same error and are simply not willing to admit it: Luke 24:33 says they found the eleven gathered together, and that no doubt means all eleven, not ten, no matter how much you wish to slice and dice it.

    Twelve, Eleven, then Ten? (Apostles)

    More nonsense from your imagination. Luke 9:1-6 ASV 1 And he called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. 2 And he sent them forth to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. 3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey...

    Twelve, Eleven, then Ten? (Apostles)

    More important background information which has already been posted, referenced, and mentioned, but which I only hinted at and did not try to expound upon at that time: Mark 16:9-14 ASV 9 Now when he was risen early on the first day of the week, [πρωτη σαββατου] he appeared first to Mary...

    Twelve, Eleven, then Ten? (Apostles)

    For one, it is not a symbolic calendar: it is the sacred calendar day introduced in the opening creation account. Yom is Light, not "a day", review Gen 1:5 where Elohim calls the Light, Yom, not day as rendered by natural minded translators. The hour is the base unit when yom is used for time...

    Twelve, Eleven, then Ten? (Apostles)

    Prove your assertion. Yes, I do take it literal, because Thomas was indeed one of the original twelve. No, John is not wrong for speaking the truth, that indeed Thomas was one of the twelve. For one, P66 does not contain the pericope adulterae, moreover it employs the staurogram, a...

    Twelve, Eleven, then Ten? (Apostles)

    Already answered: everywhere else in the Gospel accounts, and even Acts 1, it means the entire eleven apostles called "the eleven". Already explained: Thomas is absent in the pericope inserted into the Gospel of John because the whole reason for the so-called church fathers for inserting the...

    Twelve, Eleven, then Ten? (Apostles)

    That makes it even worse: it's now just a special pleading fallacy argument. This is one of the hidden truths in the passages in question: Luke 24:29 N/A-W/H 29 και παρεβιασαντο αυτον λεγοντες μεινον μεθ ημων οτι προς εσπεραν εστιν και κεκλικεν ηδη η ημερα και εισηλθεν του μειναι συν αυτοις...

    It appears Mordekai may be missing in action. Will the real Mordekai please stand up! (but hopefully not with a healed mortal head wound, or a right eye utterly darkened, or an arm completely dried up). Apparently the initial plot line from the book of Esther has run its course and Act 1 is...

    Twelve, Eleven, then Ten? (Apostles)

    Read both passages again: even if you do not believe all of the other similarities, still yet, both take place in the late evening time on the same day. Yes, agreed. Isn't that convenient, so then, according to your view, none of the following statements have anything to do with a number...

    Twelve, Eleven, then Ten? (Apostles)

    John 20:24 ~ After the death of Judas the betrayer, whenever the N/T speaks of "the twelve", that phrase includes Matthias who replaced Judas. This is evident in Acts 6:2 where "the twelve" called the multitude of the disciples to speak to them: at this point in the narrative Paul wasn't...

    Second draft of the timeline chart that was in reply#33. Since the time of that post reports from U.S. Central Command, (CENTCOM), have strongly suggested that preparations are being made for the conflict to last at least 100 days and potentially through September 2026, (which is more than 200...
