There is nothing pagan about celebrating birthdays or commemorating the milestones of a person's life. It is actually a Biblical practice going back as far as Abraham who held a feast when Isaac turned two, the age a child was weaned, and the 13th year was a time to celebrate a young man/woman...

A shadow being fulfilled means whatever it foreshadowed comes to pass. If a shadow is abolished and is not fulfilled, it was not actually a foreshadowing of anything. But I think the crux of the issue is whether or not Jesus fulfilled all the Law (including the fall feasts). I contend that he...

Allow me to make one more observation. Be careful in trying to construct a passion week chronology based on Jesus' fulfillment of a particular sacrifice. His crucifixion and death fulfilled every single sacrifice and offering of the whole law, which were not only offered on Passover, but at...

I think where you are having a problem is with the timing. The Bible doesn’t have a word for “afternoon.” The word “evening” in the Bible refers to what we call the afternoon, the period of time when the sun passes the meridian and begins to descend or “go down” in the sky. Your chronology has...

I realize not everyone is particularly interested in the historical details of the Scriptures, but New Testament history and archaeology has been a passion of mine for a very long time. It in no way lessens my appreciation for the supremacy of the resurrection itself, but rather for me serves to...

I tend to agree with the KJV that interprets the aorist tense of "bought" as "had bought" meaning past tense. They had already purchased the necessary ingredients and prepared the ointment and desiccants to anoint Jesus' body and came to the tomb very early in the morning after the Sabbath...

Luke 23:54 says it was Friday and "the sabbath drew on" (meaning it was late in the day) and after following the men to see how the Lord's body was laid, then they prepared the spices and ointments and then rested the sabbath. It's unlikely that they would have purchased the items necessary for...

Unless the count begins with the night arrest in the garden and his hearing and condemnation before the Sanhedrin. That means Thursday night, Friday night and Saturday night, 3 nights. Friday, Saturday, and rose on the 3rd day Sunday.

You need to make an adjustment. Nisan 14 is not the day before the Passover. Nisan 14 is the Passover. “In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord’s Passover.” Leviticus 23:5 Look at the institution of the Passover: “And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the...

They purchased the spices on Friday evening before the Sabbath began. In Christ, Pilgrimer

The problem is that limiting the 3 days and nights to just the period of time that Jesus was in the tomb is based on interpretation of the phrase "in the heart of the earth," which has long been a matter of debate by historians. But when you look closely at many of the passages that speak of...

Easter Week Chronology Paschal Week Chronology 6 days before Passover Friday – Nisan 8 – late afternoon - Jesus arrives in Bethany from Jericho Friday – Nisan 9 – sunset – Sabbath supper at home of Simon 5 days before Passover Saturday – Nisan 9 – Sabbath - Jesus rests in Bethany; multitudes...

All to Him I owe~

Hello Old Jack. Allow me to offer some thoughts. I don't believe the casting down of Satan and the binding of Satan are the same thing. Satan was "cast down out heaven to the earth" when Jesus was lifted up from the earth on the Cross. That is the moment when Satan was defeated and was cast...

Zeke, You claim that the translators erroneously refer to the “the first day of unleavened bread” as the day on which the Passover was killed, and yet Mark himself used the exact same expression: “The first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the Passover.” No words were inserted here...

The word "never" in Greek is "oudepote." The word used in this passage is "ouketi" which comes from "ou" (no, never) and "keti" (henceforth, hereafter). Look it up. I'll need some time to go through your other post and respond, and will probably have to take it one issue at a time. For...

Thank you for that insight Nomad but I'm afraid for the ESV text to be accurate it must include "ouketi" in the translation, which it does not. Ouketi is from "ou" (no, never) and "keti" (henceforth, hereafter). Therefore a correct rendering would be: Luk 22:16 For I tell you I will "not...

Hello Zeke and thank you for the lengthy response. However, the assumptions you have made are not correct. My beliefs are not based on the teachings of others, canned or otherwise. They are the fruit of my own years of study of the Scripture as well as New Testament history and archaeology in...

But you are reading into their words things they did not say. They did not say that Sunday was the third day since Jesus was buried. They said that day was the third day since the chief priests and their rulers had delivered Jesus to be condemned to death and crucified. Jesus was arrested on...
