. I have no use for the Good Friday model because its missing third night discredits Jesus and makes a mockery of Christianity. _

. If you weren't so agitated you'd see that I'm not trying to do away with a very satisfactory Christian tradition. But you're simply going to have to accept that as Passover moves around the calendar from year to year, it moves Easter right along with it because the night of the paschal...

. In my opinion, the final authority in discussions related to the days and nights predicted in Matt 12:40 is Jesus Christ because he was actually living in Israel during the week in question. ● John 11:9-10 . . Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not...

Where's your third night? _

. I didn't begin the thread intending to prove that Good Friday is an error. It's merely to show what day of the week that Easter would fall on were Jesus crucified in 2019. BTW: Easter would fall on Saturday April 11 were he crucified in 2020, and Tuesday March 30 were he crucified in 2021. _

. The original Easter occurred on the first day of the Jews' week. (Matt 28:1, Mark 16:1-2, and John 20:1) However, the first day of the Jews' week isn't the anchor for Jesus' resurrection. The real anchor is whatever night of the week that the paschal lamb is eaten, and the date for that night...

. ● John 6:53 . . Jesus said: "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you." ● John 6:54 . . .Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, ● John 6:50-51a . . This is the bread which cometh down from...

. According to 1Cor 15:50, flesh and blood is barred access to the kingdom of God, which tells me that the design of Jesus' glorious body is very different than the design of his original body; ergo: the design of his true believing followers' glorious bodies will be very different too. (Phil...

. ● Song 2:1a . . I am a rose of Sharon Apparently nobody really knows the species of flower meant by a rose in that passage. Some say it's the narcissus, and other say it's the saffron. Personally I prefer the saffron because of it's full bloom, and it's very blue color. ● Song 2:1b . . a...

. FAQ: If it's true that Roman Catholics are supposed to be eating Jesus' natural flesh, and drinking his natural blood in their communion elements (a.k.a. species) then from whence are they getting Jesus' natural flesh and blood when his natural body no longer exists? A: That's a very good...

. Jesus' glorified body is immortal; it cannot be broken. The body that Jesus shared with his men at the last supper is the one that died on the cross. ● Luke 22:19 . . And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying: This is my body given for you ● 1Cor 11:23-24 ...

. FAQ: The bread that Jesus spoke of in John 6:50-51 is his body, i.e. his flesh and blood (1Cor 10:17). But Jesus has been in possession of two versions of his body: a natural version and a glorious version; i.e. a mortal and an immortal. Which version pertains to the flesh and blood he spoke...

. ● Matt 12:40 . . For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. When you think about it, Jesus' crucified dead body never was in the heart of the Earth, it was laid to rest up on the...

. FAQ: Why should anyone even care about those three days and three nights in Matt 12:40? A: I care because the Good Friday model discredits Jesus and makes a mockery of Christianity. Were I the Devil, the one element of Christianity that I would make my mission in life to invalidate is...

. FAQ: I've heard it said that Jesus' crucified dead body was restored to life on Saturday just prior to sundown. Is that a possibility? (Saturday is the Jews' routine sabbath day.) A: According to Luke 24:21-23, the third day predicted by Matt 12:40 fell upon the day that the women went out...

. ● Song 1:16 . . How handsome you are, my beloved, and so pleasant! Indeed, our couch is luxuriant. The Hebrew word for "luxuriant" actually means verdant, defined by Webster's as green with growing plants; in other words: fertile; which is just the opposite of a land that's so arid, and its...

. ● John 20:1 . . Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw the stone already taken away from the tomb. FAQ: Doesn't that passage, along with Matt 28:1 and Mark 16:1-2, prove that Jesus' crucified dead body was restored to life...

FAQ: If that's true, then where do we place it in the chronology? A: It began at sundown the afternoon of the Lord's burial. FAQ: Then where do we place the routine sabbath? A: It followed on the heels of the Passover sabbath and is seen when the women went out to the cemetery. (Matt 28:1...

. Unknown to a pretty good number of Bible students is that Jesus and his men ate their Passover dinner the night of his arrest. (Matt 26:17-20, Mark 14:12-17, and Luke 22:7-15) The Jews ate their Passover after he was dead and buried. (John 13:1-2, John 18:28-29, John 19:13-14, and John 19:31)...

. FAQ: What is the correct way to eat Jesus' flesh and drink his blood? A: I wish I had a pat answer for that question but thus far, it has eluded me. However I think it's pretty safe to rule out the Roman Catholic method because the kind of life obtained by eating Jesus' flesh and drinking...
