    On what day was Christ crucified?

    Well, we never hear about how good the lamb was. But without the missing lamb chops, who can say? Yes, I saw your question in the earlier post. Given that the setting of a full moon is about 6 am, the article suggests a way to eliminate the possibility, suggesting that they wouldn't have been...

    On what day was Christ crucified?

    I don't usually like to post just a link, but this is a decent article about what the evening phrases meant. https://www.church-of-yehovah.org/arbayim.htm

    Exactly what?

    Died Suddenly

    That doesn't require you to suddenly embarass yourself. I was just wondering why you hadn't jumped back in to fact check all the died suddenly cases, but I didn't think you'd do it so poorly.

    Died Suddenly

    Who said they died of the vax? It was conjecture that plays well with an increasingly suspicious public. Your articles repeatedly said they DIDN'T die of they vax, but nobody knows what caused the issue. Those are contradictory statements. And you would know that if you actually thought about it...

    Apologize? Your fact checkers are the ones that should apologize. None of the cases you presented were confirmed to NOT be from the COVID vac. It was mostly hogwash, copy and pasted from one to another. You should be embarassed, User Name, for even posting it.

    Where's @User Name? He commented once, then must have dropped out of the thread to study the data some more.

    👍 You've been put under ground in a grave or tomb? Which is why you have to put quotes around it--you were never flogged, had your beard pulled out, were required to carry your wooden cross, had nails driven into your hands and feet, had a spear thrust through your side, were taken down...

    Hi Rhema. I'm sorry, but I don't remember anyone by this name. Did you previously post under another name?

    Thank you. A simile, or more accurately, metaphor, is NOT the actual thing, but gives a picture of the actual thing. The baptism part was a figure. Noah was real. The reference to Noah was used to illustrate the point about baptism, how it didn't save the people on the ark by getting them...

    Neither CAN satisfy Rom 6:5's "planted together with Christ". "Planted" refers to being buried. Baptism of the spirit doesn't do it, as it works on something besides your body. Water baptism doesn't do it--it works on yourbody, but it isn't a burial, just a symbol. The baptism isn't the means...

    That doesn't say they didn't baptize with water, and in fact reinforces the idea that the same water baptism done to Jews in Jesus' name is that which is done to Gentiles in Jesus' name. The physical illustrates the spiritual.

    Or perhaps neither, since Peter indicates it isn't about the washing if the flesh, but the cleansing if the conscience. Something more than water is needed. What is needed is to be dead to sin, so that we don't live any longer therein. We are dead to sin only when we identify with Christ's...

    On what day was Christ crucified?

    Agreed, but not at the new moon feasts.

    I am correct, you and they are incorrect.

    The Saving results of the Death of Christ !

    Here's a place where they misuse scripture, trying to squeeze out of it something it doesn't actually say. Kind of like how you've been doing: "Though he baptized some, he did not baptize all, because he was sent to preach the glory of the cross, and the Lord told him baptism would make the the...

    Yes, that was my point to you. So now you are saying that Paul was speaking of Spirit baptism in regard to the earlier portion of 1 Cor? That's odd, because I thought you used those verses to say Paul was no longer doing water baptisms. All of the Old Testament uses of the bapto word family...

    Then you have to assume water is required for the earlier verses in 1 Cor. Rather, "baptize" and "baptism" are water words, but they can be used metaphorically, just like Jesus used "cup" in your reference. There was no cup in what they and He would experience, but there WAS a cup with them in...

    You realize, I hope, that you have quoted the same author, in the same letter, using the same word, and saying that it refers to two different things? No water was mentioned in either verse. Below are all the verses in 1 Corinthians that use the word. In only one of them is water ("sea")...

    Maybe, but that wasn't your claim here: If God told Paul not to baptize, that would have been much more efficient to have just said that outright, rather than baptizing people, telling people to be baptized, having others baptize some people, then turning a corner and never telling people that...
