@RexRed,

The puzzle piece missing is maybe there was a happenstance 'holiday' that occurred on maybe Wednesday (the last supper) that particular year that took preeminence over the usual Sabbath that week. Then that Sabbath was Passover too. Passover was on Saturday... Local feasts usually took preeminence over the usual Sabbath.


I am grateful for your patience with me, RexRed. I do not believe in gods and that is why I was so interested in your answers as I do respect your high intellect. I learned some time ago that the New Testament was written at least two centuries after the death of Jesus and that many hands contributed to the contents often contradicting each other.

Thank you for your understanding.

Doesn't it depend, MIT, on how one defines the term

It's pretty obvious that there are big gaps in our understanding of the Big Bang and everything thereafter and so one has to concede there's more to the Entire Megillah than the mere meaningless bouncing of particles and objects off one another. Let's suppose whatever this is, it's part of the natural course of events and subject to all the laws and limitations applying to matter and radiation

That is to say, it's not supernatural, if by that word you mean something that doesn't abide by physical laws, something physicists might label as impossible

Suppose eventually, however it turns out, it proves a largely abstract entity. Now you have to give it a name. What, "God"

It's purely up to you, MIT

@Moment-in-Time,
If we had the original new testament it would still be ambiguous because it was built upon the old....

Agreed. Anyway, information was handed down by word of mouth and we know human nature and its emotions prone to subjectively embellish depending on so many varying influences.

How could Jesus be a ransom for Adam if he was a God-man and pre-existed Adams's existence? Adam was not in most beliefs a God-man he was a human or man. One human sins and a God-man pays for it? Should your father pay for your sins? Once again ambiguity...
What gave you the idea that Jesus was God-man?

Sheesh! I'm gabberflasted. You don't believe the Bible, yet you are a trinitarian.

Adam had to be replaced by a perfect man. A man subject to our pains and temptations. How else could he provide a corresponding ransom? His pre human existence as described in Proverbs, Ch 8, and other places, is what he gave up in order to take human form.

No wonder you have so many straw men, Rex. You seem to have been raised in a christian haystack.

You need to back that one up, Rex. Otherwise its a hypothesis contrary to fact.

I might add that, just because people choose to act out under the auspices of some imaginary God, that does not make this God real... Due to the radical and contradictory dogma of the religions it does provide many rational arguments against the existence of said God(s).


Who knows how it all started but if I were God I would be asking the same questions. Where did I come from, "was I created and so forth.

Unsubstantiated statements = ad hominum attacks. Stand up and make your case, rl.

Your statements of faith and biblical standards are they "substantiated' or straw men?
