Bible Study The Death and Resurrection of Jesus, was is on Easter?

[Bro.Tan]

Hey All,
"According to the Bible and the world today. Gentiles are Caucasians or white people." Quote from BroTan

What you are saying is that God is a racist.

Acts 10:34
Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

How can you say such things? A child of Israel is not solely defined by race or ethnicity. Mixed marriages (Israeli/gentile) were allowed. Their offspring were considered Israelites.

Matthew 1:5
And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse;

So Ruth was not an Israelite by birth. And there she is in the genealogy of Jesus. How is this possible given your statement. Joseph had not been intimate with Mary. In fact, there are four women;
Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba. All four are either non-Israelites or connected to non-Israelite families, and yet they are ancestrally linked to Jesus.

You also have a problem with your resurrection timing. If Jesus was entombed on Wednesday, as you assert, you have problem with Scripture. If Wednesday afternoon, before sunset was the correct time Jesus was laid to rest, Jesus' 3 days and 3 nights would be fulfilled on Saturday afternoon; not Sunday morning. Your timing does not work with what Scripture records.

I don't need an explanation. There is nothing you can say that justifies your position.

"Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: For the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land." (Hosea 4:1)

In Genesis 10:1-5 - "Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal , and Meshech, and Tiras. And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. And the sons of Javan; Elishah,and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations". The sons of Japheth are the people known as Gentiles. Now lets break down these families: Gomer (Celtics), Magog (Russia), Madai (Medes), Javan (Greece, Syria), Tubal (south of the Black Sea, Spain), Meshech (Russia), Tiras (Thracians).

Hi Bro.Tan

Due to this lack of knowledge, man is on the brink of destruction, because of his transgression against God. The ability to think, and to know good from evil is the only thing that separates man from beast. Man has taken this gift from God for granted, and has chosen evil over good.

Not sure what this has to do with the issue of your seeming to see Gentiles as just us white folk, but...

Yes, that is what God has done. He has told us that:

For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.

And of course, if we continue reading this piece of Scripture found in Paul's letter to the Roman believers, he continues with a rather exhaustive list of all the kinds of sin that will be 'approved' of by us.

In the scriptures it's written in Genesis 10:1-5 - "Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal , and Meshech, and Tiras. And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah. And the sons of Javan; Elishah,and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations". The sons of Japheth are the people known as Gentiles. Now lets break down these families: Gomer (Celtics), Magog (Russia), Madai (Medes), Javan (Greece, Syria), Tubal (south of the Black Sea, Spain), Meshech (Russia), Tiras (Thracians).

Also not sure what the generations of Noah have to do with this white thing, either.

God bless,
Ted
