@_OKJ__ The day starts at Sundown…. People who have not done basic research criticizing

I was having a conversation with a Christian friend last night about some of the reasons I do not believe the gospel accounts of the death and resurrection are reliable… one such reason was when Jesus Christ was actually crucified. I told him this isn’t some obscure detail….it’s the central event of the entire story. And yet when you line up the accounts, they don’t just differ slightly, they contradict in a way that cannot be reconciled. I started with the Gospel of Mark. In Mark, Jesus eats the Passover meal with his disciples…that’s the Last Supper. After that, he’s arrested overnight, tried, and then crucified the next mornin at about 9 a.m. (Mark 15:25). So in this account, the crucifixion happens after the Passover meal. Then I showed him the Gospel of John. Here, everything shifts. Jesus is still before Pontius Pilate around noon on the day of Preparation of the Passover ….the very day the Passover lambs are being slaughtered (John 19:14). That means Jesus is crucified before the Passover meal, not after. So in one account, Jesus eats the Passover, in the other, he dies before it even happens. My friend tried to say maybe it’s just a minor timing issue. But it’s not. This completely changes the sequence of events. In Mark, the Last Supper is the Passover meal. In John, it can’t be…because Jesus is already dead before the meal begins. You can’t have both. Then I asked him why John would move it. And that’s where the real issue comes in. John is the only gospel that strongly pushes the idea of Jesus as the “Lamb of God.” So what does the author do? He places Jesus’ death at the exact time the Passover lambs are being slaughtered in Jerusalem. This is not history shaping theology…it’s theology reshaping history. Once you see that, it’s hard to unsee. The timeline isn’t just reported differently…it’s reworked to make a symbolic point. And that raises a bigger question I asked him directly…if the author is willing to change the day of Jesus’ death to fit a theological message, what else in the story has been adjusted for the same reason? At that point, he didn’t realy have a response. Because this isn’t something you can harmonize without doing violence to the texts. Jesus cannot both eat the Passover meal and die before it. He cannot be crucified the morning after and the afternoon before at the same time. This really clearly shows that these accounts are theological narratives written by believers shaping the story to express what they believed. And once that door opens, the reliability of the entire narrative becomes a serious question.

@NoFilterSkin Wrong again. Acts 11:29 See the greek word khre·ma·tiʹzo

@Mavs_FFL The volume shooter…

Name the most absurd Maverick that you can think of

@mysty812 Christmas is not the day of his birth. The scriptures are unclear on this but it seems late October. If it was important the date would have been commemorated. Also the Jewish calendar is what he would have gone off of. December 25 is the day of saturnalia

Why is Jesus birthday always the same day but his death different day every year?🤔

@BIG_J222 God intervenes rarely. If he is intervening, it is usually because his express purpose is involved.

If freewill is the reason God doesn’t intervene… Then why did He intervene so much in Bible stories?

@billiongjgly This is why reading multiple translations and the original greek is critical.

Can someone pls explain this Bible verse to me 😩😩

@kyriecenterig No one thought that was sustainable.

This lob by Kyrie to Anthony Davis had me thinking the Mavericks would win it all man 😭

@Drwhales_ People starting to understand free will in the bible. Its YOU making the choices, no one else. Same as the devil and his demons.

God created Satan… in heaven…a place that’s supposed to be perfect, where sin shouldn’t even exist. Yet sin still happened. Instead of ending it there, Satan is sent to earth… and now humans are expected to deal with what heaven itself couldn’t contain. Then we’re told man is “born into sin.” And somehow, God still interacts with Satan; like in the Book of Job after a conversation with Satan, he allowed Satan to test job. So what exactly is going on here? Is this really a battle between two opposing forces… or a system where everything is still under one authority? Make it make sense.

@KerrickDuchy could you predict 200 years in advance the name of a ruler that would destroy a world power?

i hate to break it to you but it’s just a bunch of dudes writings who said god spoke to them. if i wrote a book and said god spoke thru me to write it, would you believe me? no you wouldn’t

@eyezonyah because he was dead before sundown. Jewish days went sundown to sundown.

christian women that celebrate easter don’t read their bibles bc how do you get 3 days and 3 nights from friday evening to sunday morning?

@quickened2him Vengeance is mine, I will repay so says Jehovah.

Want to see the scope of biblical illiteracy on X? Post a passage or phrase from Scripture... without citing the reference. Uff da... 🤦‍♂️

@JoelMCurzon The tomb was most likely destroyed in 70 as was any genealogical records which were carefully preserved until that point even through Babylonian destruction. If God allowed them to be destroyed, you can not prove a future Messiah.

1. If Jesus’s body had been placed in a tomb from which he was believed to have been resurrected, its location would have been remembered and venerated long before Constantine. 2. No evidence exists of any such remembrance and veneration. 3. Ergo, there probably was no tomb . .

@pimomormon I have heard questions like this before. Where was it?... If you are a son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written: ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you,’ and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’ hmmmm

The apologist narrative is “oh well a day is different in gods time” 1) how do you know that? We have no scriptures telling us that. (POGP excluded) 2) so god thought it was ok to lie to them, or confuse them? Seems like god is no better than Satan.

God said Adam and Eve would “surely die” the same day they ate the forbidden fruit. Adam and Eve almost lived (according to the Bible) for a thousand years. And we’re told that god tells the truth?

@RealBrysonGray For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: 29 that ye abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, it shall be well

So, since Jesus “fulfilled” the law, we can dishonor our parents and cheat on our spouses, right?

@JustinBerkobien HEB 4: 4,5,10,11 indicates the rest day was longer than 24 hours and is still ongoing. It’s pretty simple. And those who take the sword and perish by the sword is literal as indicated by Romans 12:17-21

Trying to wrap my head around the Christians who read Genesis and are convinced the universe was created in six literal days but then read Matthew and assume when Jesus said “those who live by the sword die by the sword” he must have meant it figuratively.

@Dougie777777 @505Cali2 Satan is a god for now. Jesus is also a god. Men are also referenced in the scriptures as gods.

@505Cali2 Satan is not a God he wants the power but the one true God set limitation on him due to his pride and rebellion that the ones that worship him will end up the same as him- defeated by the son of man{Jesus}.

If Satan is the god of this world and the people who run this world worship him, then why is it so hard for the Church to believe that we have been lied to about absolutely everything?

@heckyessica Surprisingly, the Catholic bible is one of the more dynamically accurate bibles, because since Catholics don't really follow the bible, their translation was relatively free from Eisegesis.

@heckyessica Truth in translation. Jason BeDuhn amazon.com/Truth-Translat…

best books on Christian apologetics? asking as a Protestant. no apocrypha plz. by no means am I belittling Catholicism, but I simply do not ascribe to their beliefs. much love to all my fellow believers 🫶🏻🫶🏻

@ARBAyala Franklins. Muellers. Daynes. Goldees. Cattlack's Go argue with a wall.

@hookskat Christians are not supposed to be in politics period? The Christian scriptures did not ask anyone to hold a political office and never encouraged anyone to oppose government.

While Christians historically (or according to the Bible) believed slaves and masters were equal in their churches, they rarely argued for equality in society.
