The selection of the Passover lamb by Israel on the sabbath of the 10th of Nisan or Abib, the fellowship of the lamb for the next few days in the households of God's people, the killing of the Passover lamb at the evening of the 14th, the Passover on the 15th, the 3 days and 3 nights on the...

It's not difficult at all. In fact all Wed. crucifixion advocates say that the resurrection was at the beginning of Sunday. You seem to pretty much see only what you want to see don't you? As they say at Geico. Everyone knows that. Jesus was resurrected at the beginning of Sunday which is...

You're the only one stressing Sunday morning for the resurrection. The scriptures you have used to show that only show that the women were coming to anoint Him on Sunday morning while still dark. He was long gone and the saints resurrected with Him were appearing in the city during the night...

That simply isn't true. We do not say that Jesus was resurrected on the 4th day. This is the kind of thing you have been doing that got me bent out of shape before. Let's start from scratch OK? Did you even read the post before yours - namely post number 62? If not please do so. I will...

No need for you to reply either unless you want to. Twilight isn't a three hour period as you say. It's an intermediate time right at the very changeover of day to night or night to day. "Afterwards Joseph of Arimathea, who had been a secret disciple of Jesus for fear of the Jewish leaders...

As they say at Geico - "everyone knows that". I have no idea what anyone else talks about. But I talk about it all the time. So does virtually every commentator who takes this subject on - no matter where he lands on the Friday/Sunday issue. Yours is not the new revelation you seem to think...

This is keeping with what I have said. I have not said that the first fruits wave offering was done by our high priest on Saturday. It seems that you read it that way. Perhaps I was not as clear as I should have been. The waving of the first fruits was on the first day of the week when Jesus...

Actually it's not refuted by John and Mark - unless you read it with Friday colored glasses on. One hardly knows where to begin. I'm not sure why you dig in when you are so obviously mistaken. Note that they went to the tomb Sunday morning during the dark hours after the resurrection on...

Actually the Friday crucifixion is not only deniable it is untenable. The same is true for the Sunday morning resurrection. Jesus was in the grave for exactly 72 hours - just as He said. The basic mistakes made are not seeing that the "high day" sabbath was not the weekly sabbath -- and...

If they had ever possessed the indwelling Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Christ - 1 Peter 1:11; Romans 8:9 etc.) - they would have to be born again at some time. Looking back at the position of some people here - it's important to note for them as well as you that those in the passage you refer to...

Fair enough. I agree that the gospel of Jesus Christ is being preached and will be preached to all of the nations of the world. I agree that the gospel has the effect of convicting all men of sin and drawing all men who hear it to consider the truth of said gospel (i.e. the claims of Jesus...

No - He could easily choose before the foundation of the world those who will believe. Enough with your silly word games. Don't look now - you are making the case for the predestination of all things which occur in God's creation. There was - before the foundation of the world - absolutely NO...

The question of why God only chooses to save some when He could have well saved all is a question to be addressed to God when we meet Him face to face and to be posed alike by Calvinists, Arminians, cultists, and whatever you are calling yourself these days. The question is not just for...

"Who" is God - the author of our faith. "What" is the drawing of some guilty people to the Son by the Father - and His opening their hearts in a way that is not universally experienced by the guilty people of this world. Salvation for the elect of God is by grace through a faith brought about...

Look - I have said that I look at the regeneration sequence as a process and not necessarily as a one time spark of life as Calvinists seem to want to present it. I have said that what the Calvinists choose to call regeneration is all about is God working prior to the new birth which comes upon...

Do you think I believe that election is not about salvation? Where did you get that? Leading up to faith is not salvation. Faith in the gospel is salvation. What has God's enlightenment of all men have to do with His further enlightenment of the elect? It doesn't matter if Paul was being...

[Staff edit]. Calvinism has it exactly as you stated. No Calvinist would tell you that election and the process of drawing a person to Christ is salvation. It is, instead, just that - a preccess that leads up to faith in the Word of God which is in turn the vehicle for being born again and...

I won't play word games with you. The fact is that Paul received illumination that others did not. Call it "enlightening". Call it "opening his heart" as Luke does of Lydia in Acts. Call it "regeneration" as the Calvinists do. Call it "drawing" as both the Lord and I do. Call it anything...

That's twice now. You sure?

Nor did I say you did say anything about anti-Calvinists. Obviously you misread my post.
