Throughout his letters, Paul always makes clear being a follower of Jesus Christ:
- Romans 1:1: " Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God";
- 1 Corinthians 1:1: "Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our...
I'm acknowledging the peculiarities really of much that happened with Jesus. You claim fraud, I'm saying that it appears that the authors are presenting the story as it happened without trying to "fix it" so that a skeptic would be satisfied. The religious authority had sought to have Jesus...
Mark14:1-2 says the chief priests and scribes were scheming to arrest Jesus and kill Him, but the Passover celebration was only two days ahead, and they didn't want to do it during that feast. So they wanted to wait until it was over. But the Lord's plan didn't allow them to wait any further...
(Revelation 17:1, 2) 1 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me: “Come, I will show you the judgment on the great prostitute who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality, and earth’s inhabitants were made drunk with the wine...
Jesus, in speaking of the destruction of Jerusalem, and of the world (see vs 2-3), and shows that persons will still be keeping sabbath the 7th day, from then until now, Jews and others:
Mat 24:15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand...
John was a lot younger than most of the other disciples, and lived a long time, while many of the others were martyred. John's record of the gospel of Jesus Christ, was written, as most agree, after his exile on Patmos was over, circa AD 90ish, while the others (Matthew, Mark, Luke) were all...
Thanks for you insights on this subject. I continue to wonder why the major churches do not research this subject. Maybe they are afrais they might find something that goes against what they have taught for centuries.
On this topic, Mark's Gospel provides an aside which is really interesting, and could be a mistake by the translators of the KJV.
[In the KJV the intalicised words indicate where translators have added words that are not in the originals.]
Mark14:1,2. says, 'After two days was the feast of...
Rome didn't order a census . Herod didn't have any babies killed. Jesus family didn't flee to Egypt.. That's all fictionalized myth making.
Isaiah is talking about Israel, the servant of God.. Why would he suddenly switch to Jesus ?
Same with Hosea 11:1
"When Israel was a child, I loved him...
Basis....basis....what is your basis.
I gave mine and it fits like a glove.
"Further, Jesus was NOT despised of men.. By all accounts the people loved him and followed him wherever he went."
Must be another Jesus - a different one?
Probably, a Hesus followed by a caravan walking toward the US...
From your link.. You think burying people in a wall of cut and paste makes you look smart?
14 After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.
2 But they said, Not on...
Except for the fact that the festival of Passover was a one day festival, which was followed by the seven day festival of unleavened Bread, which festival began of the 15th day of the first month, which can fall on any day of the week, and the first and seventh day of the festival of unleavened...
This link goes into detail about the difference in Roman Time and Jewish Time and why John was writing to a Gentile audience.

The word "Passover" has a wide connotation. In the New Testament it sometimes refers to Preparation Day, when they prepared the sacrifice and the meal for...

The lambs were sacrificed in the Temple on the afternoon of 14 Nisan. In the evening of 15 Nisan, which began at sunset, the meal would be eaten, including consuming all of the lamb before morning, burning whatever remained. As Tumah has pointed out, the Festival of Unleavened Bread begins 15...
I think you simply didn't understand what they meant. The holiday of Passover is divided into two parts, the first and last day (or first two and last two days) and the middle days. The first and last days are what we call holiday days, or more literally holy days, because the rules on those...
The Orthodox Jews I used to work told me that the first 24-hour period from the beginning of Nisan 15 at sunset is special in that it is the time within which a Seder is observed and no work is performed regardless of whether one is in Israel or not. Some of them would be willing to work on the...
Your definition of picketing leaves much to be desired. Jesus did not prevent or dissuade anyone from entering the Temple, which is what picketing means. This is what he did:
Mark 11:15-17
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and...
