It is ridiculous that you are chiding me for celebrating the Sabbath on a Sunday and not binding myself to all of the dietary laws of the Old Covenant (which is explicitly bowed out for Gentiles in Acts 15) when your house is so out of order that you deny the Holy Trinity and add fallible Jewish commentary to the infallible Biblical canon.

You are Nontrinitarian. What flavor of heresy do you use here? Are you Arian and claim that Jesus was a created Being (but still divine) who is lesser than the Father, or do you go all out, as Arius' later followers would do, and deny the Divinity of the Christ outright?

Are you Sabellian and say that only one Person exists, and that God the Holy Spirit and God the Son do not exist seperately? If you think that, why does Jesus sit at the Right Hand of God?
Or, are you Modalist and say that the Persons of God the Holy Spirit and God the Son do exist, but not independently, and are instead modes of God the Father, which act on their own due to His omnipotence and omniscience?

Having addressed the calendar again and again, I want to move on to your great faults. You lecture me about eating pork, while also straight up tacking new books into the Bible (sixty-six books, not sixty-eight). Anyone who adds or subtracts from the Biblical canon is explicitly cursed (Revelation 22:18).

You said the Book of Enoch and the Last Testament of Moses (also quoted) are in the Biblical canon. The Book of Enoch being quoted in Scripture does not make the whole book Divinely Inspired. It makes the quote Divinely Inspired.

Furthermore, Passover and the Day of Atonement both start at sunset, not sunrise. This is because the Passover Lamb is explicitly said to be slain at twilight (Exodus 12:5-6). They are not allowed to let the meat remain in the morning . "In the morning" is within the day , because Passover begins at night. They smear the blood on the doors at night, the angel passes over and kills the firstborn. They are "dressed for travel" because they leave the same day they kill the Passover Lamb.

Concerning 1 Samuel 19, here is the Hebrew text for that chapter.

https://www.biblehub.com/interlinear/1_samuel/19.htm

In the Hebrew, the literal text is "[Michal, David's wife] saying, if not you [David] do save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be killed" . The description of when Saul sought to kill David states "and to kill him [David] in the morning" .

Furthermore, I ask you this: if someone called you at three o'clock in the morning and asked a favor, would you tell them you'd do it "tomorrow"? A day begins at midnight on the secular calendar: it's already that day, and he wants you to do the favor after the sun rises. That's not actually tomorrow, but we call it that.

You said that the mistranslation of "there was evening and morning" was in the King James version, right? Then we should be looking at what the OT says in Hebrew .

Here is Genesis 1:5, which uses "evening and morning", as it was written by Moses: https://www.biblehub.com/text/genesis/1-5.htm . The word for "evening" in Hebrew is "ereb", which means sunset.

The Hebrew text clearly says "and there was evening, and there was morning".

Thus, by the original Biblical script, you are wrong.

Yeah, and the traditions of Judah also included the breadth of Jewish dietary restrictions. You don't eat animals with cloven hooves, you don't eat beetles, bats, insects, and shellfish (and so on), nor do you eat the meat of the hip and pelvis of an animal. All of these things are Old Covenant dietary restrictions.

If Acts 10 has nothing to do with eating, why did the Disciple Peter receive the vision when he was hungry, and why did was he told to kill and eat ? Obviously, God was not telling Peter to eat unclean animals, as he is a Jew, but he was using it to explain what would become the regulations of Acts 15. (Likewise, it was a sign that the Gentiles were going to be grafted into Israel.) Why was he shown animals a Jew specifically cannot eat, like reptiles and animals with cloven hooves? These are the same dietary restrictions that the Ancient Church deemed acceptable to bind Gentiles.

Evening and morning are not 24 hours. It's a mistranslation in the KJV.

Genesis 1:5
English Standard Version
5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

1. God works during the day
2. Evening
3. Morning - the first day (ends)

Morning/sunrise marks the beginning and end of each 24-hour day.

Leviticus 7:15 - eaten the same day, not leave any until morning.

1 Samuel 19:10-11 - tomorrow means the next morning when it's already night.

Genesis 19:33-34 - "yesternight"

Numbers 11:32 - a 24-hour day is comprised of day and night, followed by the next 24-hour day which begins with day.

John 20:19 - the same day at evening. It can't be the same day at evening if evening begins a new day. Morning begins a new day.

Evening to evening is a tradition the Babylonians practiced and was adopted by the Jews during their exile there. The Messiah warned you about the traditions of Judah in Mark 7:6-9.
Ezekiel2&3 18 Aug, 2024 @ 10:46am 
Peter interprets his own vision for you. It's about men being made clean.

Acts 10:28
[28]And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; 👉but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

If you can't understand a metaphor it's because you have a wicked heart of disobedience. When the Messiah says he's going to make his disciples fishers of men, he doesn't mean they are supposed to go eat people. It's the same thing here - a metaphor. You need to stop making excuses and reconcile your twistings of the New Testament with Isaiah 66:15-17 which says God slays eaters of pork in the tribulation. That makes no sense if God abolished his dietary laws.

Okay, so Valve won't let me comment on your page anymore. It says I did it too many times, so let's resume it here.
