sukkot: There is more actual documented historical evidence by many and varied and independent sources for the existence of Jesus than most other historical figures. Believe he was or was not God as you choose but please dont be so silly to deny historical fact. 1 Like |

legaxi: Christmas originated as a Roman holiday eventually taken over by the Christians. We kmow Jesus was born in the Spring not in December but want to celebrate it sometime. But you raise an interesting point. |

gurunlocker:January 1 is always January 1 and not January 21 just like the changes being made on Easter days, remember it's not the days of the week that is being discussed but the number of days in numerical order. 1 Like |

KoloOyinbo:Jesus Christ is a group of people and not one person. CHRIST is a title and not someones name. under that title CHRIST are several elohims. but you have to read the bible very intuitively and scientifically and with the spirit of God before you can decipher these things. for example, here is a part of the bible hinting that there are many CHRISTS 1 CORINTHIANS 15 VS 23 Christ the firstfruits << SO THE FIRSTFRUITS NOT FIRSTFRUIT, ARE CHRIST ( PLURAL NOT SINGULAR ). THESE ARE THE 4 AND 20 ELDERS SPOKEN ABOUT IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION. POINT BEING FOR EASTER YOU CAN ONLY HAVE A SYMBOLIC DATE BECAUSE THE DATE IS SYMBOLIC OF THE RESSURECTION OF THESE MEN AND NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE RESSURECTION OF ONE PERSON. SO BEING A SYMBOLIC DATE IT HAS TO ALIGN WITH CERTAIN ASTROLOGICAL ALIGNMENTS LIKE THE MARCH EQUINOX WHICH ESCHEWS THAT LIGHT WILL START TO CONQUER DARKNESS BECAUSE FROM THE MARCH EQUINOX DO THE DAYS START TO GET LONGER THAN THE NIGHT. |

Proverbs 5:6 KJVS Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them . Simply because it's paganism, her in that verse is the same as Mother of all harlots, ask yourselves who gave you holi(days) which is a pagan deity to celebrate, Google holi and holly wood see what you come up with, Satan imitates our holy days, didn't say he will be like the most High, our Pentecost falls on the first day of the week Allways, our God don't change, but Xtianity has many faces, Paul says One Adonai, One Faith, One Baptism, so why you Jesus freaks have many denominations or demoniation rather |

sukkot: Rubbish. You expect millions of intelligent people to reject the historical evidence including every academic historian on the planet in favour of some uneducated and ill informed fantasist? Pauls first Epistle to the Corinthians like all his letters reveal Christ as one person! As does the entire message of the Bible. But the evidence I am speaking of is non Biblical but secular historic records including those from the Roman etc. A few minutes checking will repay many dividends rather than spouting some discredited lunatic theory. 2 Likes |

KoloOyinbo:exactly. narrow is the road that leads to salvation and not too many find it. so those MILLIONS you mentioned are confused. God guides the worthy to his wisdom. the true understanding of the bible ( which is a symbolic book and not a literal book ) will be given to a few based on their spirit. and it is given to the lowly and not the INTELLIGENT, it is given to a few and not MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS . |

legaxi: A few points: The post was about the historical existence of a Jew of middle eastern origin called Jesus. His divinity or otherwise is a seperate issue. Who enslaved who in the past is irrelevant to spitituality. African enslaved other africans, sold then fist to Arabs and then hundreds of years later to europeans. Europeans enslaved other europeans etc etc. None of this relevant to God. No one enslaved me. The closest historical events affecting me are the English enslaving the Irish (I am an Irishman from Belfast). But that long before I was born and again irrelevant to spiritual belief. Please be careful. Your post may begin to resemble these uneducated idiots who are failures in life and instead of facing their failure and trying to improve they prefer to play the fake victim and blame westerners/whites/other tribes/any religion associated with those they are jealous of etc etc. It eventually ceases to be amusing and just becomes irrelevant. If you are speaking of non African religions then do remember that in a modern scientific world it is very hard to get educated people to believe in worshiping trees, bushes, streams, juju, mami waters, magic, animism etc etc so these thing are for those unfortunate to be still living in mud huts and denied the benefits of civilization. 2 Likes |

Sanchez01:Matthew 27:45 if Jesus was crucified and died @ the 9th hour on Friday and resurrected on Sunday ...is that 3 days ? |

Why not ask yourself if you celebrate your annual birthday on the same day of the week you were born. If calender would be a major problem, God would have given us calender just like the Holy Bible. So which is more important, the mission or the day the mission was carried out.... Only One thing is certain, Jesus Christ came to this world on just one day and He died on just one day and He resurrected on just one day and He his coming back on just one day |

KoloOyinbo:see, you are carnally minded. this is not about being an academic. infact if you approach the bible from an academic standpoint, you will be rejected by God. you have to approach it like a child. you need to get out of this african brainwashing that being an academician means you are a worthy or knowledgeable person. |

KoloOyinbo:this is what the bible says about your LEARNED ACADEMICIANS trying to read and understand the bible ISAIAH 29 VS 11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed: <<< THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE BIBLE IS SEALED TO MANY. SO THEY CAN ONLY READ AND UNDERSTAND IT LITERALLY BUT THE TRUE ESOTERIC UNDERSTANDING IS HIDDEN FROM THEM. |

sukkot: I read some of the threads you post in. Lol. What rubbish they are. Why would an Irishman who has been a scientist and academic for over 21 years and then a business consultant for over 16 years be concerned with African brainwashing? Perhaps you should try and get an education! |

franzis:The Bible does not explicitly state on which day of the week Jesus was crucified. The two most widely held views are Friday and Wednesday. Some, however, using a synthesis of both the Friday and Wednesday arguments, argue for Thursday as the day. Jesus said in Matthew 12:40 , “For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.” Those who argue for a Friday crucifixion say that there is still a valid way in which He could have been considered in the grave for three days. In the Jewish mind of the first century, a part of day was considered as a full day. Since Jesus was in the grave for part of Friday, all of Saturday, and part of Sunday—He could be considered to have been in the grave for three days. One of the principal arguments for Friday is found in Mark 15:42 , which notes that Jesus was crucified “the day before the Sabbath.” If that was the weekly Sabbath, i.e. Saturday, then that fact leads to a Friday crucifixion. Another argument for Friday says that verses such as Matthew 16:21 and Luke 9:22 teach that Jesus would rise on the third day; therefore, He would not need to be in the grave a full three days and nights. But while some translations use “on the third day” for these verses, not all do, and not everyone agrees that “on the third day” is the best way to translate these verses. Furthermore, Mark 8:31 says that Jesus will be raised “after” three days. 1 Like |

Sanchez01: Some good and interesting points here. Some people count a day from sunset to sunset, or sunrise to sunrise, or midnight to midnight or even midday to midday. This must also have a bearing. Perhaps I will check what convention(s) the Jews and indeed the Romans used. |

It's funny that nobody has actually written what people want to hear. Easter celebration was a pagan celebration of the goddess Ishter, but the Romans Catholic Church Christianed it Christ's death and resurrection cos it sometimes coincides with the passover(same thing that happened to Christmas). |

KoloOyinbo:[b]you are unlearned. the understanding of the bible can never be received in an academic institution. it can only come from God. I am sure you and your phd in christianity fools think a literal snake was talking to a woman and the snake told the woman to eat an apple << this is the rubbish people like you and your phd academicians learn. but the true wisdom behind that passage can only be given to you from God and not in schools. I am sure you also think a man was put into a den of lions full of starving lions and they did not eat him, i am sure you think the whole world was flooded and everyone killed and only 8 people survived and 8 people repopulated the world to 7 billion under 6000 years, i am sure you think a whale ate a man and the man lived in the whale for 3 days and then the whale spat out the man <<<< this is the nonsense that you and your academicians talk about. i watch your phd in christianity fellows all the time and laugh at their ignorance. see those stories are allegories and symbolic and the true understanding of those stories can never be taught in college. only the holy spirit reveals that to you[/b] |
