1 | The Seventh Day | Bible general Archive 2 | Fletch | 119389 | ||
The seventh day is Saturday, also called the Sabbath. Some worship on Sunday, also called Lord's Day. Most do not argue what day is the seventh, but what day to worship on. Those that worship on Saturday say that we are to keep the fourth commandment. Those that worship on Sunday do so because it is the day Jesus was resurrected. I hope this helps.

2 | Did the Lord talk to Abraham to his face | Ex 33:20 | Fletch | 119047 | ||
It seems evident that in Genesis 17:15 God is speaking to Abraham, but if you are asking face to face, the same as your other the answer is no, I would again refer you to Exodus 33:20. |

3 | Did Moses talk to God face to face? | Ex 33:20 | Fletch | 119045 | ||
Moses did not talk with God face to face, Exodus 33:20-23 "he said, 'you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.' And the Lord said, 'Behold, there is a place by where you shall stand on the rock, and while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by. Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.'" Brother in Christ, Rex |

4 | if Jesus died on Friday and rose Sunday | John | Fletch | 118677 | ||
As for Luke 24:21 I will have to study more and pray about it, but John 20:26 I am pretty sure it means a week, because I have ready several books which state how they counted days in that time, and also if you look at translations that are not word for word and are idea based such as the NIV and ASV it says week instead of eight days. Either way thank you for all the information you have given me. Brother in Christ, Rex |

5 | The dead know nothing ??? | Eccl 9:5 | Fletch | 118671 | ||
Yes, that is what I mean, such as, someone who is asleep. Maybe that is why when the apostles refer to the dead they say that they have fallen asleep. |
||||||
6 | The dead know nothing ??? | Eccl 9:5 | Fletch | 118661 | ||
I can't claim to know the answer to your question, but I opened my bible and for that statement it refers me to another in Job 14:21 which says "His sons come to honor, and he does not know it." The statement it refers to is the "he does not know it." What I get from this is that "the dead know nothing" is referring to awareness. Others can probably help more, but I hope maybe this helps a little. Brother in Christ, Rex |

7 | if Jesus died on Friday and rose Sunday | John | Fletch | 118658 | ||
I see in Luke 24:21 it says three days, but it is to my understanding that in those days even parts of days were counted, not 24 hour periods as we do. Such as in word for word translations look at John 20:26 "Eight days later." Eight days, to my understanding is talking about a week, from sunday to sunday. If this is so then the three days would be Sunday, Saturday and Friday. If they talking about 24 hour periods it would be Thursday, but that is not my understanding of how they would count days back then. | ||||||

10 | if Jesus died on Friday and rose Sunday | John | Fletch | 118638 | ||
Ok you have explained about the day of Unleavened Bread and it does make since, but please explain how you know that the two Sabbaths did not land on the same day? And also how you add that extra day into Luke, I don't see any evidence of an extra day there for what you are calling the 16 for the weekly Sabbath. It does say weekly Sabbath in Luke 23:56, but before that the bible speaks of it being the day of preparation and the Sabbath was beginning. This is the time that it is saying which Jesus' body was buried, which I think that you agree with me on that Jesus' body was buried the same day as his crucifixion. If this is so then it still does not explain the extra day that you are adding. | ||||||
11 | if Jesus died on Friday and rose Sunday | John | Fletch | 118588 | ||
I don't know why you only count two days, are you only counting Friday and Saturday? If you are you need to count Sunday, because that is the day he was resurrected. That is Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Yes only two nights, but if you go from Thursday all you get is 4 days and 3 nights, that is not what was said either. I don't get why you are quoting those scriptures that you are quoting. They show that the Sabbath was about to begin stating it was Friday. The bible never said that they rested two Sabbaths it says: Matthew 28:1 "Now after the Sabbath" Mark 16:1 "When the Sabbath was past" Luke 23:56 "On the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment" All of them say only one Sabbath was rested for. As for the Holy assemble which I have never heard called High Sabbath, but I am not that familiar with Jewish customs, it would be the first and last day of unleavened bread. Leviticus 23:7-8 "On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work. But you shall present a food offering to the Lord for the seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work." The first day of Unleavened Bread was before the death, Matthew 26:17 "Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread." This is also stated in Mark 14:12 and Luke 22:7. So this can not be the High Sabbath that you are talking about being on Friday, because it happened before the death. The timeline after that does not allow for the last day to fall on Friday either. Jesus foretells of Peter denial that night, after the first day of Unleavened Bread. Matthew 26:34 "Jesus said to him, 'Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times." This is also in Mark 14:30, Luke 22:34 and John 13:38. This shows that before the second day of Unleavened Bread will not come before Peter denies him. Right after Peter denies Jesus, the next morning, or the second day of Unleavened Bread, the chief priests and the elders gave Jesus over to Pilate. Matthew 27:1-2 "When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death. And they bound him and led him away and delivered him over to Pilate the governor." This is also stated in Mark 15:1, Luke 22:66-23:1 and John 18:29. After he is handed over the Pilate that very day he is crucified, it is not as concrete as the previous, but I think it is fairly evident in all the gospels. I think Mark 15:6-20 shows it best. You could say that since the timeline is not so easy to see during this time, that Friday was the seventh day of Unleavened Bread and he was crucified on the sixth, or Thursday as in your timeline. For that to work he would have been handed over to Pilate on Sunday, because that would be the second day on Unleavened Bread, at least in your timeline. Take this as you will, but this is what I believe. Brother in Christ, Rex |

13 | if Jesus died on Friday and rose Sunday | John | Fletch | 118518 | ||
I have to disagree, I personally have been trying to figure out Matt 12:40 about the "three days and three nights" for about a month now. I admit I don't have an answer to it yet, but I am still looking. The reason I don't then conclude that Jesus died on Thursday is that the scriptures from death to resurrection give evidence of what day the crucifixion occurred. I will start with the death and move forward from that. The death of Jesus happened on a little after the ninth hour of a day(Matthew 27:45-50), that we are not certain of at this point.(Ninth hour is 3pm)It does not give the exact time, but that is the last hour that we are given. This is the first day, because in those days even part of the day, or night, was counted. This was also in Mark 15:33 and Luke 23:44. From vs 51-56 are not important to the time of the events. Then in Matthew 27:57 "When it was evening" Joseph collected the body and put it in the tomb. This is also in Mark 15:42. Luke and John are slightly different and give more information, it says in Luke 23:54 "It was the day of Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning." and in John 19:42 "So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there." Both of these two are saying that they put Jesus in the tomb on the Preparation day, which is Friday. Then (Matthew 27:62) "Next day, that is, after the day of Preparation." This is the day after Jesus was put in the tomb and the second day of him being dead. It says that it is the day after the preparation, which again is Friday. If you need clarification that Friday is preparation day, look at Luke 23:54 again, what it says is that the Sabbath is beginning and the Sabbath begins at 6pm on Friday. I am trying to show through this that the night of Jesus' death Joseph put him in the tomb. I see it established through all four gospels that Jesus died on the preparation day, which is Friday. So, Friday is the first day, Saturday the Second, and it was on the third day, Sunday, that he was raised. I know that this does have the problem of it is only two nights, but I don't see how there could a mistake from the gospels of what day he died. I have been trying to figure this out ever since I have found Matthew 12:40, but I cannot ignore the gospels clear representation of what day he died to make it so this one verse is true. If I do then I make most of the verses I quoted in this post False. I would like to hear what you guys have to say. Brother in Christ, Rex |

15 | Did Judas go to Heaven or Hell? | 2 Cor 7:10 | Fletch | 118485 | ||
I agree, I just want to emphasize a verse from one of the chapters that you did mention. Matthew 26:24 "The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born." Mark 14:21 is the same. Brother in Christ, Rex |

16 | unbelievers "saved" what do you think? | Heb 11:1 | Fletch | 118420 | ||
I came across this while studying Romans today and I thought it does add something to this post. It from Romans 2:14-16 "For when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness, and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even excuse them on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus." To me this seems to be saying that people who do not know the gospel or law (I want to add emphasis on the fact that they do not know it and not just refusing to accept it) can be saved by their conscience, or in the way I look at it, their heart. I would like to know what you guys think about this. Brother in Christ, Rex |

17 | Does the OT apply to us as christians? | Bible general Archive 2 | Fletch | 118395 | ||
My beliefs are the same as yours in this case. I had come to that conclusion about a year ago when I was discussing with a SDA about their beliefs. The scripture that I came across was a parable from Luke 5:36-39 "He also told them a parable: 'No one tears a piece from a new garment and puts it on an old garment. If he does, he will tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old. And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. And no one after drinking old wine desires new, for he says, 'The old is good.'" This is describing the old and new covenants, as Gal 3 is. I agree that the OT no longer applies, but as you said that we should still study it. Brother in Christ, Rex |

18 | being baptized | Matt 3:6 | Fletch | 118332 | ||
I do agree that 1 Cor 1:17 say that he wasn't there to baptize. For Mark 16:16 I did get a little ahead of myself on that one, the verse does not show that it is a requirement, and in a way it is not, but it depends on how you look at it. Cornelius and Company were saved before they were baptized no question, but they are the exception. The reason why they are the exception is that they received the Holy Spirit, which is the promise of salvation, before their baptism, but baptism is clearly defined, at least to me, as the time at which we receive the Holy Spirit. So, you can look at it either way, but for most you are baptized and then receive the Holy Spirit. So it can be looked at as a requirement. |
||||||
19 | being baptized | Matt 3:6 | Fletch | 118310 | ||
1 Cor 1:17 is only saying that he was not sent to baptize them at that time. If you notice right before that it is explaining that he was glad that he did not baptize anyone, so that no one could claim to be baptized in the name of Paul. 1 Cor 1:13-14 "Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, so that no one may say that you were baptized in my name." and Mark 16:16 Jesus says "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned." This shows baptism is a requirement to be saved, but it is also something that one has to do it is not done for all by one baptism. 1 Cor 12:13 is saying that by the one and only Holy Spirit we are baptized into the body of Christ, it is not saying that there is one baptism that is for all, it is saying that when we are baptized we are baptized into the one body. In Eph 4:5 it is saying that there is only one type of baptism not literally one baptism. And Jesus even said in Matthew 28:19-20 "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." I think this shows the significance of baptism, even today, that Jesus didn't just say go and teach, he told them to baptize. Those are my thoughts and beliefs take them for what you will and make your own decision. May God Bless you. Brother in Christ, Rex |

20 | earth being flat?? | Acts 13:47 | Fletch | 118291 | ||
I don't know of the other places in the bible that refer to the earth being flat, but they might or might not be like Acts. "For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, 'I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.'"[ESV Acts 13:47] In this one it is a bit more clear, it is not talking about the earth being flat, when it is said "the 4 corners of the earth" it is also not referring to the earth being flat, it is only saying "the whole world." I hope this helps and if you tell me the other passages I would be more then happy to comment on them as well. Brother in Christ, Rex |
