First: Gregorian and Julian Calendars have nothing to do with this debate. Second: "Saturday," as such, has nothing to do with this debate. The seventh day cycle could just as easily wound up on "Monday" or "Thursday." The Romans made a conscious choice to change their ...

Technically, it s only tradition which puts the wave sheaf offering as occurring during the feast of unleavened bread.

<sigh> Technically, not "sabbaths" - but commanded to do the same thing as on a sabbath: lo malakah, no work. Technically, he's correct. Lev 23:1 And the LORD3068 spoke1696 unto413 Moses,4872 saying,559 Lev 23:2 Speak1696 unto413 the children1121 of Israel,3478 and say559 unto413 them, Con...

heh, perhaps we have there an example that Paul was thinking of when he said one wife.

Look at all the squabbling between Jacob's Wives, and Sarah had Abraham get rid of Hagar.

καλὴν is the Greek translated "good", literally, "beautiful". As far as I know, that's not linked to any false Elohim. And since we don't have any of the N.T. in anything but Greek (and possibly Aramaic, if you think the Peshitta is not a back-translation) - would 'טוב'...

Lunation/cyclical sabbath at Destruction of Temple

Well, it's time to play with a lunar calendar. Here's one: http://www.fourmilab.ch/moontoolw/ So, a quick Hebrew -> Gregorian calculation for the destruction of the Temple, 9 Av 3830 gives us Apx. 1 Aug 70 AD; the previous visible new moon being 27 July with 2%. This Julian date is 1746833. Today's ...

First: having a line like: "Sabbath Day (8th, 15th, 22nd, and 29th of every lunar cycle)" in chapter 11 - before proving what a sabbath is - is bad form. If you really are going for a doctorate, you ought to know the principles of logic and debate, and use them. Second: "Passover (15t...

Finally, the translators in the KJV weren't trying to illustrate how a day begins either way! I'm really glad to hear that, because if they were, then they really screwed it up. Actually, they didn't. Let me once again reveal your ignorance. You wrote: Absolutely not! The Hebrew has the word "...

If I have a place to meet, and someone comes in and is rude and obnoxious, I have the responsibility to eject them in order to keep things civil, polite and calm. If I ask someone to leave, and they do not, no matter what their reasons they are then trespassing. Doing that sort of thing is not the s...

Well, Luneee/LunarModule/Jay Vincent, Answer these questions:

1) did you apologize for being disruptive last week?

2) did you actually tell anyone about lunar sabbaths in chat or PM?

Honestly, it's Tom's sandbox, he pays for it. If you want your own sandbox, pay for it yourself.

Technically, it is clear from scripture that a day is the daytime. And a night is the nighttime. Now, in cases where the holy time is not just daytime, the Torah specifically says "from the evening of the ninth, until the evening of the 10th" or similarly. Which would not be needed if it w...
