Did you read Hebrews 9:23-28?
My rule of thumb is always: When there is a discrepancy in minor details between known history and the Bible, the wood among the trees is screaming out loud that the historic background to the biblical account is showing the biblical account to be authentic, and archeologists will eventually knock sense into the historian produced records of Roman rulers and Judean kings. They've had their records torpedoed many times by archeology when archeology confirms the biblical account.The reason for the question is that during those times the only travel was #1 by foot and #2 by donkey and/or beast of burden
Since this form of travel was very slow and time consuming, the edict for the census would of been during spring/summer/fall and NOT during winter.
Nope.Nope - i am leaning on your reading of it - thank you Sis
who's twisting?!You just showed how your theology twists the meaning of scripture and Christ's theology, and you did it all in a few posts in one thread. Well done.
Jesus is telling you in that short section of passage that the bride of Christ are those who believe His words, and who live by them. Not those who twist His words so badly that they believe they keep actually eating His actual flesh after they crucify Him over and over.
You do realize that when Jesus said those things he was still alive.....so the bread and wine that they all shared at that last Passover, was not Christ's literal flesh and blood. To consume any kind of blood was a capital offense in Israel. Would Christ tell his disciples to break God's law?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.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
To consume any kind of blood was a capital offense in Israel. Would Christ tell his disciples to break God's law?
He would NEVER do that.
"And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two. 42Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away."Nope.

The average December temperature in Israel varies between 11 °C(51 F) and 23(73 F) °C.
MYTH: Too cold for shepherds to Tend Flocks in December
Luke 2:8
Discernment is crucial. Watchtower ideology has no proper place,credibility,in Biblical Exegesis.
Rather,the Society exercises Eisegesis,and has since it's founding over 1800 years after Christ.
One does not need Scriptures to worship Jesus on any day.Nothing wrong with being thankful for the Lord's birth and resurrection...
But God never told us to make big holidays out of them either... unless you have scripture for this?
I know thousands of Catholics, none of them see worshipping Jesus as being legalistic!!!!!Good Afternoon Brother,
100% GUARANTEED that JESUS was not born on December 25th
This is not about "thou shall not" but rather knowing the Truth from the Word.
Secondly, it is the RCC establishment of 'Christmas' that has made it "legalistic" against those who know the 'root'.
Christmas is on the same level as 'pre-trib' rapture = it is a man-made holiday established by Babylon = which the world fully accepts.
Eternal Food for Free Thinking = Revelation 11:7-10
When they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three-and-a-half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves.
And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.
Albert Marsh and God the Father"Roman Emperor Aurelian proclaimed...." = thank you 'emperor' for your carnal input
The Saints do not need 'emperors' to instruct us in the way of Righteousness = but a 'Must Have' is the Holy Spirit
Who's your Daddy?
John 6Then many of his disciples who were listening said, "This saying is hard; who can accept it?"
Are you now a judge of the Law that you would accuse the Lawgiver of not being able to share His Blood with whomever He chooses? (the Life is in the Blood)
But there are some of you who do not believe." Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him.
And he said, "For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father."
As a result of this, many (of) his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him.

Are you standing upside down down there freind???Hello my brother, The way you add two seemingly unrelated things in the same post is intriguing brother.
The two witnesses are going to be concerned about the fruit of the Spirit among the saints (which is truly lacking) and the fight for the gospel against the beast.
Yeah, they'll probably also fight against false Christianity and the corrupted gospel. I'm not sure how important 'Christian' holidays ('holy' days) will be to them.
They may even be among us already. The way things are going, I see the beginning of the rise of the beast - which for a long time I've believed to be an Islamic caliphate consisting of Daniel's lion, bear & leopard kingdoms rising from the abyss. The forces of darkness have embarked on the destruction of the state of Israel. Western nations have allowed millions of their soldiers into the West - the Trojan horse I always knew it was. Look at the 'protests' and the slogans they chant. Now it's against 'the Saturday people'. Next it will be 'the Sunday people'. There is a massive war looming.
Legalistic against those who do not participate/accept RCC ritual = remember Martin Luther?I know thousands of Catholics, none of them see worshipping Jesus as being legalistic!!!!!

Here's a challenge for you, Einstein:It's ignorant people like YOU who believe that we can ONLY do things by Scriptural mandate.
Did God tell you that you should eat spaghetti? Doesn't that make it "pagan"??
Should you stay away from it, then?
Here's a challenge for you, Einstein:
Show me ONE example of God condemning His people in Scripture for choosing to celebrate HIM.
Take your time . . .
The wisemen duhi look at the Scripture as a Singular Whole Word.
There is a Biblical and YEARLY/CURRENT "gift giving holiday" recorded for us in Scripture - do you know where?
i know of oneHere's a challenge for you, Einstein:
Show me ONE example of God condemning His people in Scripture for choosing to celebrate HIM.
Is outstanding friend, brother.
Yes the wise men but not the original one.The wisemen duh
