Was Time Suspended at the Transfiguration

Dennis12 · Sep 4, 2019

At the Transfiguration Jesus did his greatest miracle. Jesus shown as brightly as the sun and time dissolved and people from other times appeared. He demonstrated that He is God and is not subject to time and space, but instead if LORD if all creation.

There is no evidence that "time dissolved". It was a meeting between Christ and two people from heaven. Time was unaffected as were humans that were there and witnessed the entire thing.

Hi @Dennis12, why do you believe that "time dissolved" at the Transfiguration, or that Moses and Elijah needed to be transported in (so to speak) from a different time than the present?

Thanks!

p.s. - speaking to the Sadducees, Jesus said:

Mark 12
26 Regarding the fact that the dead rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’?
27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken.

Moses was favored with a special resurrection and Elijah had been translated to heaven without experiencing death. It's in the Bible. There was no time manipulation.

Many things deemed "relationship" by science are mere correlation.

Hi Thanks for the question. Maybe I should have mentioned the video in the original post. I thought that people would see it and click on it. But it seems no one has :-( The video explains things in a lot more detail than I can do here. If you have the time please have a look at the video in the first post.

Time did not dissolved. Honestly how many new heresies can people come up with.

D.A. Wright · Sep 4, 2019

I watched the entire video and the interpretation does not appear scriptural. Moses was resurrected (Jude 1:9). There is little Biblical evidence that could be interpreted as making Christ timeless. He, by all other accounts, forfeited this in the incarnation. It is impossible to understand. We have no idea what it cost the Son of God to redeem us. He literally gave Himself to the human race. It's all in the Bible. Scholars are paid to give fanciful meanings to Scripture. This is evident by the great amount of disagreement among them. The Bible was written for the common man. Our imaginations were given to peer into deep things of God, but imagination may also be used vainly. No doubt, with God, all things are possible and this seems to be intended to glorify Him. Unfortunately, it also seems more than a bit contrived.

There is nothing about Moses being resurrected there, or anywhere. Moses will be resurrected when all the righteous dead are resurrected.

Hi @Dennis12, videos as the principle statements on OP's are not very popular on these forums (as I think you may have already noticed

), as they, to varying degrees, make it difficult to have a discussion here. It would be far better, for the sake of discussion, if you would lay your thoughts/arguments and questions from the video out for us to consider and then discuss.

I do have one question for you while I'm thinking about it however. I believe that your video said that, "Jesus became light", at the Transfiguration. Did I misunderstand the video at that point, or am I perhaps not remembering what it said correctly? If not, what does it mean that, "Jesus became light"?

Thanks!

Thanks David for the question.
Matthew 17:2
And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light
Moses also shone as the video explains.

St_Worm2 · Sep 4, 2019

Did Moses somehow "become light" as well then? "Shining" and "becoming light" are not the same thing ... are they :scratch:

Thanks again!

Here we go David:
So when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him. Exodus 34:30

St_Worm2 · Sep 5, 2019

Jesus, like His Father, had/has light coming from within Him (both in His preincarnate state, as well now in His risen and glorified body). But neither Jesus nor His Father are the light that they are producing (but that's what the video at least seems to be saying).

Moses, on the other hand, must have absorbed the light that was emanating from the Lord on Mt. Sinai (somehow), and he glowed because of it (though he was never the source of the light, of course, nor did he ever "become light").

Yes, one of the findings is that when Jesus and the Disciples went up the mountain they encountered Moses who had gone up Mount Sinai.

So what was Michael disputing with Satan over the body of Moses about?

The bible does not explain that.
