    Missing Night?

    I may be wrong about this, but I think it is generally a Baptist position that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with the resurrection taking place on the 1st day of the week. Since the Messiah said that He would be in the "heart of the earth" for 3 nights, how do they...

    Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump.

    I said, "Don't do it!" He said, "Nobody loves me." I said, "God loves you. Do you believe in God?" He said, "Yes." I said, "Are you a Christian or a Jew?" He said, "A Christian." I said, "Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?" He said, "Protestant." I said, "Me, too! What franchise?" He said...

    Discrepancy between Esther 4:16 and 5:1?

    Esther said that she would fast for 3 days, night or day, and that after doing that, that she would go to the king. However, verse 5:1 says that she went to the king on the 3rd day. How can she go to the king on the 3rd day and at the same time go after the 3rd day?

    Common Figure of Speech/Colloquial Usage?

    In accordance with with a CF member's suggestion, I'm starting a new topic with the correct title and description. The Messiah said that He would be three days and three nights in the "heart of the earth". There are some who think that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week...

    Acts 10:30

    Acts 10:30 has Cornelius saying "Four days ago I was fasting until this hour;..." We don't know what day it was, but let's say for the purpose of this question that it was a Thursday when he made the statement. To what day of the week would you think he was referring?

    Disputed Ending of Mark 16.

    A poster on another board, the topic of which was questioning the authenticity of the last 12 verses in the book of Mark, wrote that it doesn’t really matter because there is no doctrinal teaching in Mark 16:9-20 that cannot be proved elsewhere in agreed Scripture. 　 I made the mistake...

    　 Matthew 28:1-10 says that when Mary Magdalene went to the tomb that she was told by an angel that the Messiah had risen and would be seen in Galilee. Matthew then says that she ran "with great joy" to tell the disciples and while on the way that she met the Messiah (this occurred before...

    Mark 16:9

    Does anyone know of a published author who has used Mark 16:9 to support a first day of the week resurrection which in turn is used - at least in part - to justify the establishment of the first day of the week as a special day for rest and worship?

    Seventh Day Continuity?

    From time to time people on religious forums ask Sabbatarians how they know that the seventh day today is the same seventh day that the Messiah kept. I wonder if anyone has any documentation that shows that the seven day cycle has been interrupted at anytime since New Testament times?
