Derek #364 Of course not, but He was using exactly the same figure of speech as was used in Jonah 1:17. And that it is a figure of speech is made clear beyond all doubt from the testimony of the disciples met by Christ on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24. Christ met them on the road on Sunday, and...

Luther said of the 'church fathers' that using their writings for edification is like straining milk for use through coal sacks.

...which tells the whole story. <<This lexicon represents about 90 years of Greek scholarship. The historical sources the scholars used to determine the meaning of words>> exactly! More specific, of 'Christian' Greek scholarship by truly great scholars, no doubt, nevertheless scholars who were...

There is a little mistake in this paragraph, or, Irenaeus was not exactly a man for small detail. So, who would blame any who do not accept Irenaeus for Bible or Bible authority?

Denied. In Exodus 16:5 ἑτοιμάζω is used for <<general preparations which>> actually <occurred> on the Sixth Day-- <Friday>. In Exodus 15:16,17 ἑτοιμάζω is used for <<general preparations which>> actually <occurred> on the Sixth and Seventh Days at the exodus passover, "Till thy people pass...

'Hetoimadzoh' is not what is discoursed about. It is irrelevant. What is relevant is the truth or falsity of your claims, (1, your claim that, ostensibly, <<παρασκευή/Parasceue always refers to the sixth day, i.e. Friday>>, and (2, your covert false claim, that...

No one argued 'παρασκευή/Parasceue' is not or was not <<"Preparation," ... the day we call Friday>>, the day which John called "the Preparation(s-day) of the Jews", the day Mark called "the Preparation Day WHICH IS the Fore-Sabbath". No one argued any of this. We argue against your false...

If it is not a <fact> for you, then what can be a <fact> for you when John wrote, "since it was the Preparation and the bodies would not stay on the crosses ON THE SABBATH, BECAUSE THE DAY WAS GREAT OF THAT SABBATH"? ---using the word "sabbath" TWICE to say that, that "day"--"the Preparation"...

Why would it not have <<helped that the tomb was "ready at hand">> the afternoon after, "due to the Jews' preparations" then having started and "the Sabbath was nearing" / "was at hand" / "was imminent"? Why would they hurry seeing they had almost the whole past daylight as well as almost the...

To be exact, no. Between when Jesus had died 3 p.m. till "after these thing...the Jews asked...since it had been the Preparation", and Joseph had the body received, it could well have been midnight already when the Passover BURIAL "started out" in earnest like it was once upon a time in Egypt...

I said before... There were two moments or situations where time was of the essence during the three days of Jesus' Last Passover of Yahweh Suffering. One, as the result of the darkness that was driven out by bright daylight and there was an earthquake "the ninth hour" when Jesus died and...

Obviously Jesus' last week --'Passion Week'-- was the Passover and Spring Festival being fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Could the Last Supper be understood for Jesus' proleptic or antecedent fulfilment of the Fall Festival of Judgment and Atonement? What about the date(s) of the Fall feast(s)?

I believe... The Lord’s Day the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, for God concerning the Seventh Day thus spoke, and God on the Seventh Day from all his works rested according to the working of the exceeding greatness of his mighty power which He wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the dead...

How right I was. Another proof! Young people, find out, in every case like the above two witnesses, the age of the individual. Old! finished, caput! Yet acting dictator, judge and executioner. Please, do not grow like most people do --old, passionless, loveless, ugly, walking talking dead...

I have a <problem> with respondents like you ...<overcomer>??? ...my! Nothing has changed, is clear... clear as crystal... after so many years there hopefully would come change. But instead, harder and harder fossilization... God be merciful How many more exceptionally beautiful, pure...

NO priests were involved in getting the bodies down! Down for what? The priests were only interested in getting Pilate so far as to get the crosses bodies and all taken away before daylight would advertise them to the world as emblems of Roman bondage on Freedom Day of the Jews. Remarkable...

"BEFORE the feast" John 19:1,2. "The feast" was the day from "evening the Preparation ... since the Preparation was / began" Mark 15:42 John 19:31 Luke 23:50 Matthew 27:57 until "That Day the Preparation ending the Sabbath nearing" Luke 23:54. Therefore the day "BEFORE the feast...the...
