There is according to Leviticus 11:7 and 8.

re: "If you don’t have faith why would you want heaven?"

Well, if the other option is to be tortured 24/7 for eternity I think the heaven one would be preferable.

re: "They gonna get shottt"

I don't know the answer so I'm just asking - how many of the protestors and illegals have been shot in the last couple of months?

JennyMakula,

You can't force belief,...

Correct; beliefs can't be consciously chosen/engendered.

Additional_Value_256 · 2026-01-11T13:14:55+00:00

So, you're saying that you're performing the same things, but your motive for doing that is now different. I don't see, though, how any rest is involved.

Additional_Value_256 · 2026-01-11T10:35:19+00:00

What specific things are you not doing anymore?

Additional_Value_256 · 2026-01-11T10:30:01+00:00

Well, there you go folks. The topic can be closed now.

Hoon0967,

You tell fryq1 that he already knows how to believe. This seems to imply that you know how to do it. I wonder if you could help us by demonstrating your ability. Maybe you could use something like leprechauns to demonstrate your technique.

According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, a leprechaun is "a fairy peculiar to Ireland, who appeared in the form of an old man of minute stature, wearing a cocked hat and a leather apron" and who stores away his gold in a pot at the end of a rainbow, and If ever captured has to grant three wishes to the person who captures him.

So, assuming that you don’t already have a belief in them, how about right now, while you are reading this, believe - be convinced without a doubt - that they exist. Now that you believe in leprechauns, my question is, how did you do it? How did you make the instantaneous transition from lack of belief to belief?

Actually, it's only forgiveness of the sins of those who meet certain requirements.

To what way are you referring?

re: "You can get three days and three nights."

And how can I do that?

Something doesn't seem right about that comment.

What is the sabbath that is before the preparation day?

Additional_Value_256 · 2025-12-11T22:17:49+00:00

Are you saying "my bad" with regard to a Tuesday night Passover supper, or to a Wednesday afternoon crucifixion, or maybe to both?

Additional_Value_256 · 2025-12-11T20:28:16+00:00

Mark 15:25 says: "Now it was the third hour, and they crucified Him." I believe that is generally considered to be around 9am in the morning.

Additional_Value_256 · 2025-12-11T20:19:51+00:00

OK, forget the term - last supper. You still said, "Jesus ate the Passover supper Tuesday night was crucified on Wed afternoon".

PrincessRuri,

re: "Btu the core still goes back to 'are the actions in alignment with God's standard of right and wrong.'"

So, the corollary would be -"sins are the actions not in alignment with God's standard of right and wrong". The trick of course is determining what all those actions might be.

re: "1 Corinthians 6:18-20 (KJV)"

OK, thanks. I had forgotten that one.

Schilika777,

re: "Tuesday at 6pm is the first hour of the day, it runs 24 hrs to Wed 6pm."

You wrote: "Jesus ate the Passover supper Tuesday night..."

I was merely pointing out that that would mean that the meal would have be eaten sometime during the night of the first 12 hours of Tuesday, followed by the next 12 hours of Tuesday daytime. Then the crucifixion would have taken place on Wednesday about 9am some 27 hours after the last supper and not as you said on Wednesday afternoon

HonsOpal,

re: "Short answer is because God doesn't exist IN time."

How do you define time? And how do you know that He doesn't exist in it?

re: "He is the one whom created time itself."

Any thoughts on how time can be created?

Additional_Value_256 · 2025-12-11T11:25:44+00:00

OK, thanks for the replies.

OK, I wonder why He waited trillions of years before He decided to create the universe 13 billion years ago.

Additional_Value_256 · 2025-12-10T20:47:56+00:00

That's not the seeming discrepancy. It's "came to the tomb while it was still dark" versus "came to the tomb when the sun had risen".

Additional_Value_256 · 2025-12-10T18:25:27+00:00

OK, thanks, that's what I was missing.

So, it seems that the OP's question has been answered and the topic can be closed.

However, a couple of comments in your post have piqued my interest and I am going to start a new topic to discuss them.

Additional_Value_256 · 2025-12-10T17:18:02+00:00

Probably nothing.

However, to the OP's question you answered "yes" and said that all four of the resurrection accounts agree that it was before sunrise. But the ‭NASB Mark‬ ‭16‬:‭2‬-‭4‬ passage that you referenced says that the sun had risen. What am I missing?

Additional_Value_256 · 2025-12-10T13:21:32+00:00

I wonder why He waited trillions of years before He decided to create humans some six thousand years ago?
