But you can't actually show where God told him not to.

So you put your opinion above scripture?

Perhaps now, but what about when it was more difficult for worldwide communication? Would a Jew in Rome celebrate the new moon on the same date as a Jew in Babylon?

I think my idea can still work. Imagine someone sitting on the east side of Jordan, and someone sitting in Jerusalem. A waxing crescent sets after the sun. If the sun has already set in the west, but it isn't dark yet, then according to @JudgeRightly's broadcast link, the day isn't over until...

This article is interesting. It explains that Jewish tradition has developed that put the passover on the day after the full moon, but the instruction from Moses was based on the counting of days from the new moon. That could result in an error of one day, which Jesus would likely follow the...

It's a good episode! I didn't get to finish it yet.

I think I got that backwards. If those east of Jordan saw the crescent of the new moon at the same time as someone west of Jordan, it might still be day (sun not yet set) west of Jordan while it was even (sun already set) east of Jordan. That would put them on a later schedule, with the month...

The passover meal discrepancy has intrigued me at times. My thought is that because they were obliged to sight the new moon to herald the beginning of each month, the authorities in Jerusalem or all Judea might have seen it after sundown, while Jesus, who was east of the Jordan at the beginning...

If you tap it, does it allow you to communicate with the aliens?

And that scripture doesn't do that.

I agree that he downplayed baptism, but it was in light of an issue that had arisen among the Corinthians, where they were claiming some special status depending on who baptized them. He was stating that you can't just follow some steps and then claim to be the special people of God, especially...

I never expected you to identify @ok doser as scientist.

Here's what I originally wrote I never suggested they wrote Greek without vowels, I don't think. Maybe I misunderstood which original language you were referring to here, thinking you were including ancient Hebrew, which didn't have all the vowels modern Hebrew has, and which has the additional...

I don't understand your point, here. If course he was dead before he was resurrected! You can't be otherwise! Then please explain why you quote a verse about the works of God being manifest by blindness from birth, as if it applies to all cases of sickness and death?

And? How did he escape? He was resurrected. So you think babies being torn apart in the womb for the convenience of the mother's career is for God's glory? That's a morbid point of view. Because He hasn't returned to finally defeat death yet. But He has promised that will happen one day...

Everybody will escape physical death. It's called "resurrection". Nobody except those alive when Jesus returns will AVOID physical death. Your citation speaks of death as the penalty for sin. In suggesting that infants, especially those who die in the womb, receive the penalty for sin, death...

You're probably right. But can you show the congruencies in Rev 22 And Gen 3 to prove your point?

Could be. But since the curse in Gen 3 was about tilling the ground, and was a curse on the ground, and Gen 7 said it God wouldn't do it anymore, it seems like the removal of it in Rev 22 isn't necessary. Genesis 3:17-19 KJV — And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of...

Then it wouldn't be accurately copying and preserving the manuscript. Vowels are part of the manuscript, if they are in the original writing. Can you give examples of any biblical texts, or even non-biblical texts where this was done?
