Re: Paul and Apollonius - Another ridiculous myth being prom

My latest reply to Douglas is the following: @douglasnvideo As svgrobski asked, how can Paul be both "Apollonius" AND a "Pharisee"? He's either one or the other - he can't be both (especially as Apollonius is never said to have come into contact with a Jew of any kind). You're al...

Re: Spam in messages

Thanks for that Royce. I did let this "ongrace" lady in because there was no record at all of her ip address or her username as that of a spammer.

She'll be gone in 5 seconds, as well as her messages :)

Re: Paul and Apollonius - Another ridiculous myth being prom

I responded again on Douglas' video. See who bothers to come here and read. Edit#1: I and Douglas are currently exchanging comments on YT. He isn't answering a single thing I brought up, but just seems to repeat himself constantly, giving no source or basis for his claims. When you read this Douglas...

Re: Paul and Apollonius - Another ridiculous myth being prom

What isn't amazing is that no one who promotes the "Apollonius is Paul" myth has yet to respond to this thread.

Plus, essentially it's easier to threaten someone than it is to actual answer their points or questions

Paul and Apollonius - Another ridiculous myth being promoted

I couldn't help noticing an awful lot of comments on certain Facebook groups regarding a fellow named Apollonius and his supposed relationship to Paul, that I just had to investigate it. As can be gleaned from the title, the investigation proved to be essentially worthless - just another pack of lie...

Re: The trinity

Unfortunately not yet, Noel. Had a lot more stuff IRL to sort out than I had originally anticipated, and I haven't been able to read as much as I've liked over the past few weeks. For those who are interested, Noel is referring to the following document: http://tinyurl.com/27loakz" onclick=&quo...

Dan Wallace, the Executive Director of the Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts at Dallas Theological Seminary, in a recent debate regarding NT manuscripts with Bart Ehrman made mention that 7 new manuscripts of the text of the RC/NT had been discovered, one of which is a FIRST Century ...

Re: Acts 20:7: The First Day of the Week, or a Sabbath?

We really just appear to be going in circles now, but I'll state this again so that you don't have an excuse for attempting to say that the resurrection happened on the seventh-day Sabbath: "Regardless of all this, whatever interpretation you want to try and give to when the Passover is to be e...

Re: Acts 20:7: The First Day of the Week, or a Sabbath?

That really wasn't the section of the Karaite article I was pointing to, but to the fact that they too agree that "the morrow after the Sabbath" is a reference to Sunday, no matter the date of Abib/Nisan it falls on. I'm sure if you want you can email the guys at Karaite-Korner for a expla...

Re: Acts 20:7: The First Day of the Week, or a Sabbath?

The article seemed to be more or less just completely one sided, especially as it quotes from the Mishnah and Talmud. In fact, checking the rest of the website, the fact that it has an article stating that the ORAL LAW is necessary , I just cannot accept whatever it says as an authority on this subj...

Hello Stephen, Regarding the observation of Firstfruits in relation to the seven sabbaths following; Leviticus 23:11 “And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you: on the next day (Nisan 16th) after the sabbath (Nisan 15th) the priest shall wave it.” KJV Leviticus 23:15 “And ...

Re: Acts 20:7: The First Day of the Week, or a Sabbath?

Hello Stephen, Under the context that you explain it I have difficulty reasoning a logic behind the resurrection phrase where amplified as ‘ Day One of Weeks and Shabbats ’ - used to refer to the first day of the 50 days leading up to Pentecost. As discussed previously the word ημερα as day and the...

Re: Acts 20:7: The First Day of the Week, or a Sabbath?

Please observe these quotes in the KJV; When it comes to interpreting something, it is never good to go off just an English translation. We have to look at the underlying Hebrew and Greek. Leviticus 23:39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land...

Re: Acts 20:7: The First Day of the Week, or a Sabbath?

The main point regarding the time duration within the Passion event was prophesised by Yahushua - Himself as comparable to the sign of Jonah in MattithYah 12:39, 40. There it is stated twice in the majority of texts that the time duration in the tomb would be equivalent to 3 days and 3 nights. I do...

Re: Acts 20:7: The First Day of the Week, or a Sabbath?

That isn't the impression indicated by the translation of the Greek καθημαι, nor is it indicating bereavement on the part of the women, whom, as Luke says, went away from the tomb to prepare their previously bought spices. What MattithYah is indicating is that the women were sitting down, watching a...

Re: Acts 20:7: The First Day of the Week, or a Sabbath?

Actually, I think you've found a translational error in my rendition of Marcus 16:1. as the Greek verb for "to buy" (αγοραζω) is in the aorist tense, I should have the word "had" before "bought", indicating that they had already purchased spices/oils/ointment previously...
