    Mark 10:12 When was it possible for a wife to divorce her husband?

    You can look at the Mosaic Law on the restriction of Jewish women marrying Pagans. Still I believe a divorced Jewish woman that wanted to marry would usually only have choices among the Pagans. Now depending on the power and position of her Pagan husband, that would probably reflect on how she...

    Mark 10:12 When was it possible for a wife to divorce her husband?

    No instance of divorce in the NT. But then mostly study Judaism. You can look up when divorce became legal. History, you can comb through history....mostly women just left. Lots and lots of history and relationships....In Christian kingdoms divorce either way was not easy. The Church denied King...

    Mark 10:12 When was it possible for a wife to divorce her husband?

    It was nearly a death sentence because Jewish men as rule only married virgins. A Jewish woman marrying a Pagan would be a very bad thing, she would have been shunned by all other Jews and by Mosaic Law probably would have been executed. Of course divorced women back then did not have any rights...

    Mark 10:12 When was it possible for a wife to divorce her husband?

    1. Christ is talking to Jews 2. Christ did indicate that women could divorce their husbands. 3. No such Law in Judaism 4. The whole divorce topic completely flabbergasted His apostles. 5. This would mean that this would be a "New Law" .... 6. No biblical or historical indication that it...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Sabbath is always Saturday. As we see today Passover is calculated on the cycle of the moon. A similar calculation is used for Easter, that is why the day Easter falls on, moves from year to year. The Passover could be any day of the week...one per year. That year Passover fell on the Sabbath...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Therein lies the problem. When I started my Book I setup a set of preconditions. I did not care what the truth was, just looking for the truth. The truth still takes you to God. But there is a transition from having faith in the Bible and faith in the truth. As you can see here on this forum...

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    Out of fundamentalism :) It only matter so much. But the topic of biblical errors is something else. The most important functions of the Bible is faith, salvation, relationship with God etc....it does that. And if it does that for you and you like the thought that it is inerrant, what does it hurt.

    I do not think anything. He rose on Sunday. I told you your not going to like this. He definitely was crucified on Friday. You should let it go, you are not going to believe the explanation.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    I do not have to explain 3 days and 3 nights. I just have to explain that I know Christ was crucified on Friday.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    It is not the only place that the 3 days and 3 nights is mentioned. Tradition has it that when Christ was on the cross and when He told the thief that today you will be in paradise, He was speaking of Sheol. Where Christ would go to preach the Gospel to the Jews.

    What Mormons Believe--according to a Former BYU Professor

    I understand, written by people that don't know that Christ was crucified the day before Passover. By the time these people try to explain how the time adds up, it throws reality out the window or they calculate it such a Klondike manner that if you were to apply that arithmetic to reality, the...
