- I speak the English language, my Bibles are translated into the English language, and most everybody here on the forum composes their posts in the English language. Therefore I think it is sensible to utilize a standard to define English words lest we fall prey to a Tower of Babel syndrome...

- I didn't say evening is ambiguous; I said the Hebrew word for evening is ambiguous. Technically 'ereb (eh'-reb) means dusk; which the Oxford dictionary defines as the darker stage of twilight. Well; chronologically, from dusk till morning defines night; but in the first chapter of Genesis...

- A normal chronology of evening and morning delineates night. However, according to Gen 1:5, Gen 1:8, Gen 1:13, Gen 1:19, Gen 1:23, and Gen 1:31, evening and morning delineate day. The Hebrew word for "evening" is ambiguous. It essentially means twilight. However, there is no specific word for...

- I suggest that the best way to begin sleuthing the chronology of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection is to first define what constituters a Day and what constitutes a Night. The creator does this for us so it's a no-brainer. †. Gen 1:3-5 . . And God said: Let there be light-- and there was...

- †. Luke 24:46 . . He said to them: Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and rise again from the dead the third day According to Luke 24:1-24, the third day fell on the first day of the week; viz: a Sunday. Well; seeing as how Gen 1:3-5 and Gen 1:14-18 declare it to be God's...

- †. Jonah 1:17 . . And the Lord appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights. †. Matt 12:40 . . Just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights...

- Had Christ risen from the dead before sunrise, his recovery would have taken place at night; but according to Matt 17:22-23, Mark 9:31, Luke 24:41-46, Acts 10:39-41, and 1Cor 15:4 his recovery didn't take place at night; rather, during day. Below is a popular "proof text" among...

- Here's couple of important tips: 1• It's tempting to count the afternoon of Christ's burial as one of the days as per Matt 12:40 and John 2:19-22, but don't do it. Wait until the Jews' preparation for Passover comes to an end and they're ready to dine upon their lambs before starting to tally...

- I don't think The Church ever meant for Friday to be historically accurate; but rather, simply convenient for both the laity and the hierarchy. The thing is: according to Ex 12:1-20, Passover and the Feast Of Unleavened Bread are joined at the hip. In point of fact, Passover is supposed to be...

- †. Matt 12:40 . . Just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Christ was correct: Jonah's ordeal did last for three days. (Jon 1:17) Jonah was alive for a time in the sea...

- After Christ's burial, he wasn't seen alive till the first day of the week. (Matt 28:1, Mark 16:2, Luke 24:1, and John 20:1) which is the day following the regular seventh-day sabbath. (Matt 28:1, Mark 16:1) So, if we allow Sunday to be the first day of the week, and also the day upon which...

- According to Eph 4:11-16 and 1Cor 12:4-18 it is not Christ's wishes that his followers be their own theologians. Peter makes mention at 2Pet 3:16 of people who are "unlearned" no doubt referring to self-taught folk neglecting to take advantage of the instruction that Christ, in his...

- †. Matt 12:40 . . Just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. †. John 2:19-22 . . Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. The Jews therefore said: It took...

- Hello; Passover is just around the corner so this seems an appropriate time to begin discussing its events as they pertained to Christ back in his day. I suggest that the best way to begin sleuthing the chronology of Christ's crucifixion and resurrection is to first define what constituters...

I'm pretty sure that, within the context of Paul's letter, the promises referred to have no bearing upon the land seeing as how the focus is upon Christ instead. Here's some wording from the promises. †. Gen 22:18 . . And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed The "seed" in...

- Standing, as per Eph 6:11-17 refers to holding one's ground. In other words; standing is defensive rather than offensive. If only Eve had stood her ground instead of surrendering to the Serpent, the world would be a whole lot better off. She didn't have to attack the Serpent; all she had to...

- So: where do the people of Israel stand today in relation to the covenant with their God? Not good. The covenant that Yhvh's people agreed upon with God obligates Him to preserve peace in the land of Israel when His people are compliant. Well; the land has been in a state of war with its...

- The Last Resort If after reading all the posts you're still not sure about female pastors, preachers, and teachers; I suggest playing it safe; viz: if you don't know: don't. †. Rom 14:22-23 . . Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. But he who doubts is condemned if he...

It's actually an honest mistake due to the ambiguity of the word "sabbath" which can indicate the standard weekly no-work day and it can also indicate the no-work day attached to the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Ex 12:14-17, John 19:31) which coincides with the night of the...
