    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    Bossman, you clearly aren't capable of logical argument. It eludes you entirely that how things were is how things were. Here today in our modern world, Christianity is comprised of both poor and wealthy. We have pastors driving Mercedes and BMWs, and paritioners driving old beater Hondas. The...

    I don't think you have the intellectual capacity to have this conversation. I'm out.

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    @Saber Truth Tiger Let me see if I can break this down for you so you can understand. People do things how they do them. Regardless of what the Bible says in the law, or how you interpret it, the practice in the first century was nevertheless to bring the omer on the 16th and begin the count to...

    The Jubilee Counting Method

    I appreciate your reply, but you didn't answer the question. As I said, if you read the post, I wasn't looking for opinions, lectures, or posts on what the Jubilee was or how it worked. I'm asking for bonafide sources to demonstrate the method in practice. If you have sources besides an...

    This is why we are not going to agree. I'm citing actual history, confirmed by a primary source. You're arguing your interpretation of scripture in direct opposition to the testimony of a primary source. That's all I have to say. I'm right. You're not. And I'm not going to argue with you.

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    Here's the thing . . . I've been on this site far too long. I've seen the likes of you more times than I care to count. It's like talking to a wall. You give proof, and people like you act as though I did not. I'm just not going to argue with you bud. You're making claims without proof, and...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    Bossman, you're being childish at this point. Because your post in this instance was so childish, I didn't read past the first sentece of the second paragraph. I gave you the historical proof already. The count to Pentecost began on the "morrow after the Sabbath," and the historically fixed date...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    Okay, I went and read those two posts. Let me say for you up front . . . I'm a man of facts. If you say something and expect me to believe it, you need to show proof. Cite the source. And I prefer primary source material. I will change my perspective on something if you prove it to me. But...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    I think you did. I DO advocate for the fact that, historically, the 15th was considered a Sabbath of the holiday variety separate from the regular weekly Sabbath. That's why the count to Pentecost began on the 16th, per the evidence already provided. But I do not advocate for the crucifixion on...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    On this, the standard citation for Josephus is book/index, not book/chapter/verse. The abbreviation is Joseph. and the works are AJ (Antiquitates Judaicae – or Antiquities of the Jews), BJ (Bellum Judaicum – or Wars of the Jews), Ap. (Contra Apionem – or Against Apion), and Vit. (Vita – or Life...

    The Jubilee Counting Method

    I've been doing a lot of research into the Jubilee and how it was counted, and I've come to something of an impasse at this point. I wanted to throw this question out there for the community to see if anyone had any logical thoughts or arguments, or even more preferable, some historical...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    I appreciate your efforts here, but I wasn't making a semantic argument. I was demonstrating, with primary source material, what the actual practice was in the first century. The count to Pentecost was to begin the day after the Sabbath. And the actual practice was to begin the count to...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    I gave the proof of what I said. If you disagree, feel free to supply primary source evidence to the contrary. Josephus wrote his history in the 90s CE. He was a priest, a Pharisee, and of the course of Jehoiareb. He lived, and served in the temple as a priest, in the first century. He said that...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    I did read your response, but this sentence here is the only one that is relevant. The count to Pentecost began on the "morrow after the Sabbath." If the count began every year on the 16th of Nisan, which would be varying weekdays from year to year, then the 15th, by default of that practice...

    The Crucifixion Not Friday

    That's not actually correct. The 15th of the first month was considered a holiday sabbath. A great debate between the Pharisees and the Sadducees resulted in the interpretation of Leviticus 23:15 recognizing the 15th as the sabbath from which the count to Pentecost should commence (Schol. to Meg...

    Crucifixion Dating of Jesus Christ

    Perhaps we can time travel one day and suggest it. Actually sounds like a great division. Thirteen months of twenty-eight days, with a one-day annual holiday, and a two-day holiday every four years with some grand celebration on that second day.

    One Stop Shop for Church History

    Just to say so, I was adding to the thread's psuedo-syllabus, not suggesting alternate material. I agree with all the other resources mentioned. And in addition, Eusebius and Gibbon.
