    Three Days?

    "After the Sabbath", at dawn approaching sunrise is when the women went to the tomb. Even if KJV is an accurate translation, Matt. 28:1 is just informing us that they started, were on their way "at the end of the Sabbath". I get up before dawn to walk my dog and see the sunrise. They got up...

    Please, if A.T. Robertson does not know what "dawn" means, that it precedes morning, than his teaching is worthless - wouldn't bother with any of it.

    In Matthew 28:1, ὀψὲ (a preposition) means "after" when taking the genitive plural. This is explained in Blass et al., A Greek Grammar of the New Testament and Early Christian Literature (University of Chicago Press, 1961), pp.90-91. It is also discussed in Bauer's Greek-English Lexicon of the...

    Well, I guess something good came out of all this for you ... Good Thursday ... AND then of course Jonah won't feel like he spent more time in the belly of a fish then he had to. I mean fair is fair. One last study I found interesting. After reading This, it is no wonder why there is...

    So, you are going against the traditional view which claims that Jesus died on Friday. From Wyckoff Bible Encyclopedia: [Date. Christian scholarship generally accepts the traditional view that the day of the crucifixion was Friday because the day following was the sabbath (Mk 15:42; Lk 23:54; Jn...

    I know the Passover in Moses day was a shadow of the death of Jesus, the lambs blood over the doorposts as it is over our hearts - protecting us from death; so I don't have a problem with it happening on Nisan 14 (in which the following day would be a Sabbath and 1st Day of Unleavened Bread)...

    what does God and Jesus say about relatinship between a man and a women

    There is no marriage in heaven. The man and woman union was for this earth, made differently to compliment each other, learn how to live and be obedient, be fruitful and multiply. Heaven is perfect, no favoritism, we will love unconditionally everyone.

    In those verses, the grave is a burial ground, a tom or six feet under. But Sheol is deeper than six feet. Sheol comes from the word shaol, which means to ask. Hades therefore is asking, demanding and requiring souls. It is hungry and unsatisfied. Satan us behind this drawing power and tempts...

    My posts were not personal until you got personal with everyone. Yes, I can be judgmental at times. Rebuke is good and needed. Iron sharpens iron. Go back and read your comments, insults and mockery. The honest person judges himself, admits his flaws and the Holy Spirit convicts us as well. We...

    Your posts sound vile, disrespectful, insulting. "By their fruit you will know them." Love, kindness, patience, self control, gentleness, joy, etc., these are some of the qualities of a born again Christian. Ask and you will receive - then the Holy Spirit can actually take up residence in you...

    He was physically in the belly of a fish, but he quickly drowned and his soul was in Sheol, at the gates (with "bars" _ beneath the "mountains").

    Again just stop focusing on yourself. You said "I" 39 times. That is a little excessive. Go be a servant in some way and help people, learn the Sermon on the Mount and pray. I would not detour you from seeking a mental health professional - preferrably a Christian counselor either. It sounds...

    The Pandemic has created an economic downturn for everyone. I would say we were energy independent last year. A different President is messing with the Oil business, fracking ... so the price has gone up, with 11,000 jobs lost. Welcome to the Green New Deal. It is what it is, the beginning of...

    Very much aware that Hades was divided - made that point. Frequently referred to as Abraham's Bosom was paradise and the dark dungeon type location deep in the earth caverns, which also was divided. Departed souls of unbelievers were separate from the fallen angels in the Abyss/Bottomless Pit.

    Suez Canal

    Accidents happen. How many Chinese ships are also being delayed? Doesn't the world do more business with China than any one else? I've seen over 60 cargo ships lined up and anchored stretching 50 miles in 2004 in LA Harbor. That might have been a trucking strike - can't remember. There is...

    I believe Jonah got swallowed, then after the waters engulfed him, his short prayer, he died. Physically he was in the belly, but his soul descended deeper than the ocean. "I cried from the depth of Sheol ...I descended to the roots of the mountains ... The earth with its bars around me forever...

    Suicide really translates into having no faith at all. What you are thinking is, you don't trust God with your life, if He has plan for you, you aren't interested, can't wait and whatever it is, it's not going to work out! That is not faith. Faith has hope for things not seen. Maybe you need to...
