There you go again, casually reading the LXX, fact checking my lectures.

The description says 2025

Thanks! Fixed it.

So on what day was Jesus crucified and on what day did He rise? And what is your point? Oh wait! I see you are a 7th Day Sabbath adherent. That must color your interpretation of scripture. Careful, there.

According to Strong’s Concordance, the word translated days is hemera: and has both denotative and connotative meanings. It is important to understand that. The concordance also has a definition which explicates the difference between western and eastern understandings of the concept of “day”. Don’t impose a western understanding unless you can make clear the proper meaning without eisegesis.

Pretty clear they met on the Sunday.

@@billhesford6098 yes the disciples were gathered but he spun it around to make it sound like this is the start of Sunday service. I just think it's absurd. Also, on a Jewish calendar, you cannot get 3 days and 3/9 out of a Friday crucifixion and it's clear that the first fruits are also cut as soon as the Sabbath ends so you have Jesus being in the grave for about 24 hours if it's a Friday crucifixion. Which then makes Jesus look like a liar because Jesus said he's going to be in the grave for 3 days and three nights. And there is no such thing as a Jewish idiom that 3 days and three nights means less than 3 days and three nights because I have proven that in videos

@debblouin your right, people shouldn't impose a non-jewish meaning onto the text. Right on for calling Gore out on this.

I treat the question of due process and the roots of rules of due process as reflected in American jurisprudence in the lecture linked below kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZilZJihfNeXhNE

Thanks for that. I deal with my reasons for rejecting 'full preterism' later in this series.

@@GoreBruce Link please.

@@GoreBruce Thank you.

For those with a sincere interest in this question: The southern states were emphatic that unless a compromise was allowed for the entrenched systems of slavery, a constitution uniting all the colonies would be impossible. There were Christian voices that vigorously opposed slavery at the time, as I document elsewhere in this series. A 'sunset' clause was added in the Constitution that prohibited importing new slaves 20 years after the Constitution was ratified, in the hope that the slavery itself would gradually disappear from atrophy over time.

@@GoreBruce I sincerely appreciate you sharing your point of view on this subject. ______ My position is quite succinct... The United States maintenance of Enslaving People based upon Complexion and the treatment of the Native American Population via the US "Manifest Destiny" Christian concepts (being taught in American Grade School History Classes to this day) is what Christianity is really all about. Even to this day, Conservatives are supporting taking America back to the Little House on the Prairie days of White Supremacy (reversing whatever legal opinions are required to get there... back to say---Dred Scott Decision). This Conservative Religious focused COURT is what the Churches Moral Majority so called Pro Life Political Party position moving from the past century of Democrats/Dixiecrats essentially through the Nixon into Reagan Administration going forward: more and more extreme Conservative Churches and Republican Party. This so called Pro Life Political stuff is all about taking America back to the past century via the Courts and Political Party apparatus. www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/05/10/abortion-history-right-white-evangelical-1970s-00031480 I am citing from the above article from POLITICO... there's many other sources as well on support of my assertion. --------- I'm not doubting your sincerity at all. However, today's American Churches are openly supporting armed insurrection if they don't have their way politically. History of the interwar years of Germany (1918 going forward) the Churches and the Christians in Germany and Europe in general... favoured the Italian Fascists and the German Nazis. Indeed, the Catholic Pope got back a "Vatican City" supporting Mussolini and the Fascist Politics putting the Jews in jeopardy. The Vatican City was established in 1929 by Mussolini and the Pope getting into a political deal. The Churches in Germany supported the rise of the Nazis into power politics assisting Hitler and the Holocaust coming to pass. Sir, bearing this in mind. Clearly today's American Churches are supporting the return of Nazi Germany type stuff... using the "Original Constitution is Christian" rhetoric. I accept that perhaps the plan/idea was as you so graciously responded to me explaining why and what happened back then. However, these people today are supporting something on the level of say "The Catholic Inquisition"... which lasted 500 years through 80 consecutive Popes. The Churches have supported some really terrible times in America...1920-1022 era of Tulsa, OK and Rosewood, FL type behavior. It's that very point you raised about the Southern States saying that if they couldn't have White Supremacy they'd rather destroy the country back then. I knew about that from my own studying and such. I truly think America has arrived at the moment that those same people preaching going back in time to yesteryear...are supporting the same thing: either America goes back or they're saying destroy democracy. There's nothing "Jesus" about that in any way. I'm just saying... the Churches are preaching this stuff from the Pulpits. No? I'm asking...

@@GoreBruce thanks for the information. However, today's Supreme Court already reversed Women Rights and this is going back to the Dred Scott Decision... With the American Churches supporting this stuff. Legal precident ( I may have misspelled it) has been established with the Dobbs decision. And revoking the Prohibition Constitutional Amendment in 1933... means 14 Amendment can be revoked as well and Boom Slavery is legal. Dobbs decision Supreme Court used British Decisions from the 17th century of a Woman Burning Man (the Witch burning Prosecutor one of the Supreme Court Justice (Alito's) cited in their decision.) I'm trying to figure out exactly how Jesus fits into any of this stuff Christian Voters support this going back in time to yesteryear...

Thank you!

If you have any interest in how I would handle the issues you have raised here, you might refer to the lectures on chapter 20 that I offer later in this series. I appreciate your summary of the arguments that I once made!

You will find a decent summary of the life of Boniface in volume 4 of Philip Schaff’s history of the Christian Church.

Thanks for that. Don't believe anything because I say it, but believe everything that you are sure Jesus had said!

Thanks for a good summary of the contrary case!

thank you bruce for all your hard work and effect. i have learned much from your videos of the years. i hope to meet you one day if not on this side of eternity then when we are all gather together in Heaven Peace. james

Many thanks! Blessings to you as well!

Calvin did not write a commentary on Revelation, so the matter remains debated. He did take a preterist approach to the Olivet Discourse.

Thank you!

Calvin championed the idea of human equality, rooted in the twin themes of the 'imago dei' on the one hand and 'total depravity' on the other. There is no hint of any racist idea in Calvin's writings based on skin color or any other incident of birth. At the time of his writing, this philosophy of human equality was a minority view in the extreme, as notions of aristocracy, nobility, commoner, peasant, were taken for granted.

I just listened to your #7 on islam. thank you
