    How about if I vote to take money away from you and give it to someone else, where the constitution doesn't allow for it? This isn't exactly the same as your Turkey question (or should that be "your question, Turkey), but it follows a similar train of thought...

    Can anyone in this forum explain to me why referring to bizarre arguments after Brain referred to bizarre arguments constitutes "straying off point"? Anyone? Or is this just another of his bizarre arguments?

    Which is an obvious reference to something they had partaken in physically, which symbolized the spiritual.

    The Saving results of the Death of Christ !

    Do you think the jailer just asked to be baptized, or did Paul instruct him in It? It was obviously a water baptism, because he had just finished washing their stripes. Nor can you show that it was anything other than water baptism. I agree it isn't necessary for salvation, but that shows that...

    The Saving results of the Death of Christ !

    Here's a place where they are wrong: "Paul spends his whole ministry making all men see the fellowship of this mystery, and doesn’t give a single instruction about water baptism." Paul instructed the Philippian jailer to be baptized.

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    I don't think I'm having any difficulty.you just jumped from a less similar comparison (visible light) to a more similar comparison (doppler shift of a reflected radio signal) to try to convince me that they are more different, and introducing the concept of unknown influences after I had...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    Which things aren't so much observations, or even lack thereof, but are interpretations of the observations we actually have. Just like a police officer observing a car moving away from him would be able to interpret the observation more accurately than a 6 year old to determine the velocity of...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    But you understand my point, right? We only "directly observe" something by seeing light that emanates from that thing, either by production of its own photons or by reflection of light from another source. So we directly observe distant stars by the light we receive from them, just like a car...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    What evidence do you have that a car is moving away from you? Isn't it the light that reaches your eyes? Why is that any different than the light from stars reaching our eyes, at least as far as direct observations goes. We can't do paralax for the distant objects, so direct measurements might...

    Why would you be surprised at homosexuals in the Republican party? Did you think they were all righteous?

    On what day was Christ crucified?

    As answered by JR, this still puts most of the slaying of lambs at night, which is possible, but seems unlikely. They were required to be in Jerusalem, at least the adult males. If the males were in Jerusalem and the families stayed home, then it's possible that they wanted to eat at the same...

    Another witness https://reformjudaism.org/learning/answers-jewish-questions/why-do-some-jews-have-one-seder-and-others-have-two-seders "The question of holding one or two seders has to do with timing from when the Torah was written. When the Torah was written, the beginning of the new month was...

    On what day was Christ crucified?

    @Rhema This comes from a Wikipedia article: "Jews traditionally observe one seder if in Israel and two (one on each of the first two nights) if in the Jewish diaspora." I don't know if this translates well into what Jesus and his disciples, not of the diaspora, would do, except if the diaspora...
