And again I said since it was not during the feast of Dedication at all but before it your connection is lost. I have. You are wrong. The truth is no where in John 8, 9, or 10 does Jesus even use the word "temple." Your turn!!!

Yes, I do. But obviously you've conveniently forget what you said in post 254. Let me remind you. You said: There is clear as day. "During the feasts Jesus is preaching that He is the LIGHT and that HE is the Temple and the WAY." The truth is no where in John 8, 9, or 10 does Jesus even...

Not according to the text. At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon. John 10:22 NEVER states "Jesus celebrated" anything. John 10:22 NEVER states "Jesus attended"anything. The text NEVER states...

At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon. John 10:22 NEVER states "Jesus celebrated" anything. John 10:22 NEVER states "Jesus attended"anything. The text NEVER states "Jesus made sure he was in...

The point is he did not do it at the feast of Dedication at all but before it. One could just as well be linked to the other feast since it happened at that feast and not at the feast of Dedication. Jesus does not. Jesus does not claim to be the temple in chapters 8, 9, or 10. In fact Jesus...

Your claim is wildly inaccurate. Jesus talks about being the light of the world in chapters 8 and 9, which precedes the timestamp in John 10:22, placing those those teachings before the event of verse 22. No where in chapter 10 does Jesus use the word "light." Also, no where in chapter 10...

The text never says it verbatim or in any other way at all, EVER. I follow the text. I believe what the text says. This is what the text clearly states. At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of...

Never said that. Never said that. John 10:22 NEVER states "Jesus celebrated" anything. John 10:22 NEVER states "Jesus attended"anything. The text NEVER states "Jesus made sure he was in Jerusalem during Hanukkah."

Also the noun "celebration" does not appear anywhere in John 10. No matter how many dictionaries you reference it will change the facts and those facts are clear. John 10:22 NEVER states "Jesus celebrated" anything. John 10:22 NEVER states "Jesus attended"anything. The text NEVER states "Jesus...

Another completely irrelevant point which does nothing to address the facts. The facts are: John 10:22 NEVER states "Jesus celebrated" anything. John 10:22 NEVER states "Jesus attended"anything. The text NEVER states "Jesus made sure he was in Jerusalem during Hanukkah."

I understand how the actual words found in the text, rather than your imaginary ones, are a problem for you. So I will just quote them again. At that time the Feast of Dedication took place at Jerusalem. It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the colonnade of Solomon. So the...

lol I didn't say you did. I was pointing out the obvious fact that the text does not support your claim. The text NEVER states "Jesus made sure he was in Jerusalem during Hanukkah." And that passage as well says NOTHING about Jesus making "sure he was in Jerusalem during Hanukkah."

Untrue! The text NEVER states "Jesus made sure he was in Jerusalem during Hanukkah."

Then show everyone where the text states "Jesus celebrated" or "Jesus attended" anything. Oh that's right you can't because it doesn't. I am saying the text NEVER states "Jesus celebrated" or "Jesus attended" anything. No word games here only the fact that the WORDS "Jesus celebrated" or...

Twist it all you want. No matter what you claim the text NEVER uses the words "Jesus celebrated" or "Jesus attended" anything. That is a fact. It is just not there.

No matter what you claim the text NEVER uses the words "Jesus celebrated" or "Jesus attended" anything. That is a fact beyond dispute.

Your irrelevant example in no way addresses what I said. I said the text NEVER uses the words "Jesus celebrated" or "Jesus attended" anything. That is a fact. Let's look at the Greek text and see if those verbs are there. Εγένετο τότε τὰ ἐγκαίνια ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις, καὶ χειμὼν ἦν·...

Focus on what I said. I said the text NEVER uses the words "Jesus celebrated" or "Jesus attended" anything. That is a fact.

RSV It was the feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem; it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in the portico of Solomon. So the Jews gathered round him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Not there! ASV And it was the...
