    It is finished

    Aramaic was most likely Jesus' first and usual language, although it was not necessarily the only one.

    Common Figure of Speech?

    The other five are sufficient to show that ten subsequent posts from you saying that the topic is not part of this discussion are in error.

    Earth Day Altar

    I'm not personally comfortable with it, either; but if people who worship nature as their religion choose to adopt the style of other religions--altars and holy days included--then I guess that makes sense for them.

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    I agree that such a POV has merit. Arguing the facts when one (or more) of the participants is guided instead by his "druthers," it's not likely that he'll change his mind. And in this particular discussion, where the evidence has been presented several times, just ending the thread would make...

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    More guesswork. Plus you must surely know that not everything religious that some Jews wrote before the coming of Christ is automatically to be considered by Christians to be divinely inspired! And now the fact of the unsettled nature of the Apocrypha being what the fourth-century Christian...

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    Which has nothing to do with our discussion. Once again, in the face of the facts you're offering us some speculation instead. But why??? Sure, some of the Jews did accept those writings, but others didn't, and this split is well known. That has been referred to several times here already.

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    Some of this is getting pretty tiresome, isn't it? After all is said and done, the Apocrypha was never generally accepted by the Jews as divinely inspired material. That's one reason that the fourth century Christian councils didn't deem those books to be equal to the other 66 books. The...

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    Put another way, Luther and all the other Reformers were the "last word" on this matter in your opinion until it was pointed out to you that they actually believed the opposite of what you thought. :D ..."included" them with the Bible books but not as part of the Bible, that is

    Is Sabbath, Saturday or Sunday.

    Apparently, neither of you cares what the Catholic Church does since she considers Saturday to be the Sabbath.

    A P O C R Y P H A : Included in every Holy Bible from the 4th century AD to the 19th Century AD

    Who has said anything so far about people needing to be "rebuked" for reading the Apocrypha? Well, no one. In fact, I pointed out that a number of denominations do read selections from these books in church without considering them to be books of the Bible. That idea is in error. We've already...

    Matt 27:50-53

    It's right to say that Jesus was not making these choices willy-nilly, so I hope that means we can put that issue aside, but as for the rest of your post, I have to disagree with the notion that he was any kind of "no show" when Scripture testifies that he appeared to more than 500 people prior...

    It has been said and explained before. The way the counting was done then is not the way we do it today; and that's all there is to this.

    Matt 27:50-53

    However, there are other verses that bear upon the subject. I guess I don't see that need. We might, by the same token, ask why every resident of Bethlehem wasn't ushered to the stable to see the newborn king on the occasion of his birth. Or wonder why Jesus didn't cure more people than he did...

    Common Figure of Speech?

    I'd say that the issue of which days or nights Christ spent in the tomb...and when it was that the Church decided to make Sunday its primary day of worship (and whether or not that was proper) are different topics. That much is of course assumed. However, Sunday is already determined to have...

    The canonization of Scripture by several Church councils. Just as I said. LOL I said no such thing. :rolleyes:

    Explain the Trinity to me.

    Except that this lone verse upon which the Society hangs the whole of its belief concerning the nature of God is not the only verse in the Bible that conventional Christians can and do point to as proving that Jesus was God in the flesh. By arguing over John 1:1 as though it is the only proof...
