Author | Topic: Matthew 12:40 Using Common Idiomatic Language? | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Faith has just given you some good extra-biblical evidence (a quote from a first century rabbi). Why don't you address this evidence? Reality suggests that evidence can be assembled either pro or con for virtually any real life situation. After reading the recent posts at this topic, I went to google and quickly found an apologist who argued the "heart of the earth" vs empty tomb argument. In reality, though...Jesus only lives in the heart and mind of the people. It is what we do rather than whether or not He is alive. Scary to think that I am finally agreeing with jar about something! ![]() Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. —RC Sproul "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." —Mark Twain " ~"If that's not sufficient for you go soak your head."~Faith An atheist is someone who has no invisible means of support~Bishop Fulton J.Sheen

Greetings, rstrats. Now what is the topic again?
Im trying to differentiate your comments in this thread from the main topic started by the originator. (Im in a talkative mood today...but I need to step away from this computer before my head implodes!) ![]() Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry. For science and philosophy to continue to advance in knowledge, chance must be demythologized once and for all. —RC Sproul "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." —Mark Twain " ~"If that's not sufficient for you go soak your head."~Faith Paul was probably SO soaked in prayer nobody else has ever equaled him.~Faith ![]()

What's your basic argument in your own words? Why do you accept the explanation that you believe and reject the critics? Don't be a troll now...stick around and have a discussion.

rstrats writes: Sure. Looking back through this topic of yours, I see your prime motivation. I've read your question over several times and I'm afraid I don't understand it. Could you rephrase it?rsrrats writes: jar brings up the point of "so what"? Basically, he was answering your question by agreeing with you that there likely was no example of common Jewish idiomatic speech. So I guess my question is why keep the topic going? There are no members who will counter your assertion. My basic question is what now? Where is the topic going? What are the implications if your argument is true? Do you believe that the Bible is in any way inerrant, reliable, or accurate in its claims? If your three points can be accepted, what is your ending conclusion? (I will compliment you though for hanging in there with EvC for over three years! ) There are some who have said that Matthew 12:40 is using common Jewish idiomatic language. I should think that one would have to know of other instances where the same pattern was used in order to say that it was common. I am simply looking for some of those instances, scriptural or otherwise, i.e., examples where a daytime or a night time was forecast to be involved with an event when no part of the daytime or no part of the night time could have occurred.Chance as a real force is a myth.

I say move on from this topic. Its boring.
