2 | Chronological events of ressurection day | NT general Archive 1 | Chris | 2890 | ||
This is my personal piecework, with alot of help from the Scofield Study Bible. The women are walking to the tomb, and hear the earthquake (or feel it:-), and Mary Magdalene, one of the younger women, beats the rest of the women to the tomb. Mary M. sees the empty tomb and runs to Peter; meanwhile, the other women get to the tomb and see the angles, after this they get flustered and runaway. (They must not have know where the apostles were or they went a different way in fear, because otherwise they would have ran into Peter and John.)Peter and John get to the tomb and look in and leave; while, Mary M. stays weeping, and Jesus speaks to her, "Stop clinging to Me." Then she runs to the apostles. The women are a little lost in their excitement until they see Jesus, and He sets them on their way. Peter comes back to the tomb and Jesus appears to him. Then the fellas on the Demascus Road. After, or before Demascus the other 9 apostles get involved, excluding Thomas! Tell me if I missed anything! GOD bless!! | ||||||

Chris, Re: an old posting of yours..."chronological events of Resurrection Day".....Did you ever try to assimilate all four gospels' accounts into a chronological package....it's maddening. They cannot be reconciled.....this really goes against the theory that every word of the NT is inspired by the Holy Spirit. What's your take? Bub |

Be careful not to chase rabbits. Just because it might not make sense or add up doesn't mean it's not the truth. God will give you understanding. Just seek His face (Jer. 29:13). | ||||||

Dear David F...... Re post resurrection accounts. We're talking about a chronological accounting of a specific event......some spiritual concepts may not initially make sense or add up, I can see how at some point in time one might come to an understanding. But when it comes to an historical account of an event, they should make sense and add up from the gitgo. Bub |

Dear Bub, nice to meet you, so to speak. I see what your saying and I'm sorry if I was buttin in but I just was concerned that it might of been an intellectual bout leading you away from the truth. That truth being found in 2 Tim. 3:16-17. | ||||||

Dear David......no apology needed for "butting in", I don’t think there is such a thing on this forum. There's nothing I want more than the truth, believe me......but I've found I've been duped by going with what men have told me that the scriptures say or what they are. I'm passionate for the truth. I have to personally search for the answers to my questions rather than blindly following the common take on things……but the more I study the more questions I find to explore. This forum is great in that I can put out there what conclusions I have come to so that they can be challenged…….not for the sake of a mere intellectual boxing match…..but for a serious exploration for the truth. As I previously said, most Christians will say that every word of the Bible is God-breathed.....it was the post-resurrection accounts that left me scratching my head as to how this could be true…..Tim has asked for details, and I’ll try to get to that today. You cited II Ti 3:16-17, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”. I know that this is commonly understood to mean from Genesis to Revelation……I always believed that, that’s what I was always told. However, think about it……..was Paul referring to the “New Testament”……was he thinking……”Well, I think I’ll sit down and write some New Testament scripture today.” The point being…..there was no “New Testament” for the first generation believers to consult……there was only the Law and Prophets. “Scripture” can refer to any use of “script”, any writing is “scripture”, but any time the New Testament writers are referring to “scripture”, as in “Holy Scripture” they cannot be pointing to their own writings…...they were speaking of the Law and Prophets. I’m counting on you guys to keep me honest…..thanks, Bub |

Hi, Bub; 2 Tim 3:16 does refer to the New Testament precisely because it is inspired. It is true that Paul referred to Jewish Scripture, but if God inspired Paul to write those words then I see no reason to doubt that God intended them to apply to the New Testament as well. Other than the Law, I don't recall that God ever told anyone to compile a collection of writings and call them "Scripture". Men of God, led by the Holy Spirit, have done that. Including the prophets was an obvous choice, since they spoke God's words and so must have been inspired. But what about the Psalms? David was not called a prophet, yet many Psalms were clearly inspired. The same can be said of the books attributed to Solomon, not to mention Job, Ruth, and Esther. Likewise, the Gospels were an obvious choice, since they described the life and recorded the words of the Author of Scripture. The same can be said of Acts. The rest of the NT (allowing a little fudging for Hebrews) was written by men who knew Jesus personally. Their works are a reasonable choice as well. God often intends more than his servants realize when they do his bidding. Joseph understood that the actions of his brothers led to the salvation of his family. But God meant the brothers' deed to do more than preserve Joseph's family. He meant it to lead to the crucible of Egypt, the Exodus, and the nation of Israel. So I conclude that when Paul wrote "all Scripture", God meant ALL Scripture. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
