    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    Interesting claim. Do you likewise understand three days as a synecdoche? Is it possible to put together 3 days and 3 nights and rise on the third day?

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    That reply was to the comment to Saber Truth. The verses cited are to the assessment from the Shroud of Turin. Jesus said He would be in the tomb for 3 days and 3 nights. 30 hours is not enough time. Also the body was wrapped in linen strips, not a single shroud.

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    Matthew 12:40 - For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. John 19:40 - Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    Totally demolished? You go on and on and on, never once admitting what God said in Exodus 12 about how Nisan 15 and 21 were to be observed is the first recorded instruction on how a day of not working is to be observed. These instructions are also how the weekly Sabbath is to observed. This is...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    BTW, regarding Nisan 15 and 21. Consider what the initial command was, “ On the first day you shall hold a holy assembly, and on the seventh day a holy assembly. No work shall be done on those days. But what everyone needs to eat, that alone may be prepared by you.” Exodus 12:16. The prohibition...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    I applaud you. As you correctly understand, the Sabbath is the Sabbath. It should never be changed. It is an eternal sign between the Creator and His people that shows the world God created everything in six days and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed. Worship on Sunday is not...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    Here is the pertinent sections of LXX-Leviticus (from the University of Pennsylvania as published by Oxford University Press in 2009): 23:11 καὶ ἀνοίσει τὸ δράγμα ἔναντι κυρίου δεκτὸν ὑμῖν τῇ ἐπαύριον τῆς πρώτης ἀνοίσει αὐτὸ ὁ ἱερεύς And he shall raise up the sheaf before the Lord, acceptable...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    The LXX describes the Feast of Unleavened Bread stating there are Sabbaths, plural. It states the There are significant deficiencies in Saber Truth's position. First, the oldest historical record describing the practice of observing Firstfruits is found in the LXX. It states the waving of the...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    I believe the proper approach is to ignore any question about what day He was crucified until you are settled on how best to understand the singular and plural uses of Sabbath Lying. Pretty strong language. Can’t they just be mistaken? Modern scholars often deal with things they can’t explain...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    I completely agree. The claim it is an idiom is just a way to avoid addressing the actual language. The argument runs something like this. 1) Sabbath can only mean weekly a Sabbath. 2) Therefore when a writer uses the plural of Sabbaths they mean the singular (unless it is clear they are...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    Matthew 12:1 is τοῖς σάββασιν, the Sabbaths. Both article and noun are plural. Saber Truth claims this is an idiom of unknown meaning. Matthew 12:2 is ἐν σαββάτῳ, on Sabbath singular.

    There is no such thing as Passover Sabbath.

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    Not exactly. Nisan 15 immediately follows Passover so Sabbaths refers to Nisan 15 and the weekly Sabbath (which fell on Nisan 15 or Nisan 16).

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    That is fairly accurate. The potential confusion for you is the same the Jews would have. In favor for the practice of calling it Sabbath: 1. It’s a reasonable use of the term. Both days require a holy convocation and prohibit work. Clearly people used Biblical terms idiomatically and calling it...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath(s)...how do we know it was a single Sabbath? Matthew could be describing something the disciples did during the harvest time. The main point, which should not be overlooked, is Jesus and His disciples were observing the requirement...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    That is not correct. Passover is Nisan 14. There is no question it is not a Sabbath (although in some years it can fall on a Sabbath - like Christmas a holiday observed by day of the month will fall on different days of the week). The next 7-days are called Unleavened Bread (part of my comments...

    Why is earth's AGE important to you?

    If God created everything, then the physical evidence found today is from God. If the physical evidence is from God, then I would expect this evidence to be consistent with what He said He said He did. When I understand the physical evidence I am not looking to confirm science, I am orienting...

    Why is earth's AGE important to you?

    1. The first words recorded as spoken are יהי אור ויהי־אור reading right to left, yə·hî ’ō·wr way·hî ’ō·wr. There is a repetition of the verb-noun combination. The noun is repeated exactly, the verb is repeated with a slight difference. The literal would be "be light become light." Repeating...

    Why is earth's AGE important to you?

    What the Israelites believed is not the issue. Does physical evidence agree with the Biblical account? Day 1 should be judged as 100% correct, including the amount of time. Separation of darkness implies expansion. Repetition of the word light explains wave particle duality. Numerous other...
