Romans 14 only addresses one issue. The subject of the chapter from start to finish is talking about food practices. Paul is writing about asceticism. Some in the church at Rome believed Christians should eat only vegetables. Paul calls these people “weak in the faith” (verses 1-2). The...

As far as scripture is concerned, there are only 3 times mentioned where the Messiah spoke to Mary. And He seemed to be a bit perturbed with her 2 of those times. The 3rd time He merely told her to look at her son. Also, He only spoke 2 times with regard to what someone said about her and...

Skot, re: "Colossians 2:16-23" How do you know that Paul is referring to judgement regarding the day the Sabbath is observed as opposed to how the Sabbath was being observed?

To what writing by Paul are you referring?

And again, that "someone new" needs to be someone who believes the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with a 1st day of the week resurrection, and who thinks that the "heart of the earth" is referring to the tomb, and who tries to explain the lack of a 3rd night by saying that the...

Perhaps someone new looking in may know of examples.

Point #5 in post #1 should be changed to read: "To account for the lack of a 3rd night, there may be some of those mentioned above who say that the Messiah was employing common figure of speech/colloquial language."

atpollard, re: ... and that someone should not care that whatever evidence you give will be dismissed..." All someone has to do to avoid having their post dismissed is to provide actual examples. As of yet none have been provided.

Pedrito, re: "He was in the tomb for three whole days (three days and three nights) just as He said He would be." And again, that's an issue for a different topic.

RichWh1, re: "What the Law could not do God did in sending His only Son to be the satisfaction for our sins." But only for certain persons. Unless of course universalism is true.

This topic is a joke, right?

psalms 91, re: "We honor the birth of our saviour and that is what is important" It might be interesting to note that other than the writer of Luke saying that a few sheppards dropped by at the birth of the Messiah, scripture is silent with regard to anyone else ever observing it.

Michael, re: "You had mentioned the 'three days, three nights' in your first point, so it brought to mind what I posted." OK, just so it's understood that the first 5 points are merely setting forth the requirements for the folks to whom this topic is directed, i.e., anyone who believes the...

Michael, I'm afraid your comments deal with issues for a different topic.

Point #5 in the OP should be chaged to read: To account for the lack of a 3rd night, there may be some of those mentioned above who say that the Messiah was employing common figure of speech/colloquial language.
